Sat, Nov 30, 2024, 10:30 AM PSTDay ride (gravel / road) in CA foothills
Raymond General Store, Raymond, CA
Hi Everyone, this is no bike tour, but if you're hankering to ride your gravel bike and you will be out in the Central Valley on 11/30, I invite you to come join me for this loop starting and ending in Raymond.

50 miles, approx. 5,000 vertical feet.

Here is a slightly less challenging alternative:

I checked on google street view and I expect there will be no more than 13 miles of gravel. Might be 10 miles of poor asphalt.

I will be driving down from Mariposa to Madera first, and could pick up any rider in Madera and drive together to the start.

Please text me at 510-759-6646 if you have interest. I will not be regularly checking this page.

Thanks

Wed, Dec 4, 2024, 7:00 PM PST[social] Holiday Party & White Elephant Gift Exchange at Sree's place
Sree's place, Oakland, CA
The time has come to have our annual holiday party with gifts and foods and smiles and booze!
Sree's house is near the Coliseum BART station (1.5 miles). Car parking on the street. Safe bike parking on site.
There's a small, friendly dog in the house.

How to keep the group alive
We also want to talk about how to keep this group alive,.

Please bring a potluck item of food or drink to share.
And (optionally), a wrapped, inexpensive but functional and desirable item of biking or camping gear to participate in the Bay Area's BEST white elephant gift swap! Your used parts bin is a great source for your gift!
(Often there's a few "luxury" items that make the game very interesting).

This group has provided a lot in the past and it looks like we were not able to pickup the pace post covid. We would like to use this time to discuss little bit on the future of the group and ride ideas as well.

Note: There is a hottub to hangout for the afterparty..!

Here's the rules for the optional white elephant gift swaps:

Each Guest brings a wrapped gift

Draw numbers for order

Person #1 chooses a gift. Person #2 can either steal that gift or choose a new one to open.

If your gift is stolen, you choose a new gift to open.

Continue til everything is opened.
