Ride Code: 31-C-4, elev. gain ~3,100 feet
Starting in the Castro, ride to the Presidio, down the Great Highway to Daly City, climb San Bruno Mountain, then to Glen Park for a possible lunch stop before climbing Twin Peaks and returning to the Castro
Distance: 37 mi
Pace: B-C (briskish)
Terrain: 4 (some steep climbs)
This is Sal T.‘s nice route from Peet‘s to Ocean Beach, Lake Merced, Pacifica and back. The route is scenic, and avoids the horrendous Highway 35/280 intersection. Pacifica is a nice alternative to the GGB/Marin rides. It‘s a good area to get to know. It can be foggy, so dress accordingly.
Peets Coffee in the Castro (16th and Market Streets)
This is the official monthly club ride for all members (guests are always welcome). The ride offers different distance and level options where once a month all DSSF club members can get out, ride and socialize with the club. The ride starts from Peet‘s in the Castro. There are three options so you can go at your own pace and distance so please pick the appropriate option to your level of ability, we want to make sure you enjoy the day. The rides split and regroup in Tiburon where we have lunch together as a group. This ride is usually on the second Saturday of each month.
Mikes Bikes Sausalito
meet outside the main (south) entrance
Ride Code: 24-A-3
Join us for a ‘kinder, gentler‘ Tiburon loop! Starting and ending at Mike‘s Bikes at the south end of the Mill Valley-Sausalito Path instead of in SF cuts the mileage of the Jersey Ride in half to just 24 miles. This shortened route keeps the best part--Paradise Drive and Tiburon--and ditches the moshpit on the Golden Gate Bridge and the slog up Alexander, which is always into a headwind. Yes, you can eat dessert first!
A quick ride through Golden Gate Park catching the back trails wherever possible. Meet at Jane Warner Plaza, in front of Twin Peaks Bar. 5:50pm meet up, 6:00pm roll out. Once in the park we will catch dirt trails wherever we can. Westbound we‘ll take the north side of the park, mostly, to the north windmill and the beach. Eastbound we return mostly on the south side and the middle of the park.
Distance: 8 to 10 miles
Pace: A-B (easy to moderate pace, a few stops)
Terrain: 2 (small, steep hills, some soft sand)
Climbing: 500 ft if we‘re lucky
This year our annual picnic is at a new location: Tunnel Tops in the San Francisco Presidio! Tunnel Tops is the newest facility in the Presidio constructed on top of the Presidio Parkway tunnels. It’s directly across from Crissy Field Marsh and has a broad, scenic vista of the Bay and the Golden Gate Bridge.
Sycamore parking lot near the roundabout on Milly Valley Cycle Path
Ride Code: 50-A-3.
Quick add. This is a fun ride designed to end at the Marin Country Mart where the Sunday food trucks make for great eating!
Half Moon Bay Fire Station
Ride Code: 55-B-4
A scenic ride down the coast highway from Half Moon Bay to Pigeon Point Lighthouse, then take Gazos Creek road inland towards Butano State Park, and wend our way back up to Pescadero for our lunch stop. Next we will take scenic Stage Road to San Gregorio, then a bit of the coast highway again before riding the lower part of Tunitas Creek Road back to the HMB fire station.
