Yay Barclays, I love that place!

[Alexandre Passos]

This is the route I'll add to my garmin: https://www.strava.com/routes/1525779 (strava was weird about making a route out of that ride so I manually copied it over, with hopfully not too many differences).

Also, here' a tweak to Alexander's route (a nicer way to get to Tunnel): https://www.strava.com/routes/1529921

Damn, can't make this one due to a previous commitment, but nice call Zoe. Even though I live in the east bay, there are a few roads on the route that I have yet to go on.

Please call again sometime.

That tweak is no longer as nice as it was due to Evil Safeway + construction on Ashby/Tunnel now M-F 9h-21h.  They wont be constructing tomorrow but the lanes may still be a bit messed up.  A good way to tunnel these days is up Chabot, then right on golden gate (both of those are newly re-paved) and right on Broadway.

Watch out, y'all, your SF-living days may be numbered.  My Oakland move started with bike rides on this and many other routes, and that got me hooked.  I didn't even know how awesome the gastronomic options are here until after I moved :)

[R Samuel Klatchko]

Faye- thanks so much for the info. I've updated my route (https://www.strava.com/routes/1529921) to follow that variation.

"My Oakland move started with bike rides on this and many other routes, and that got me hooked. I didn't even know how awesome the gastronomic options are here until after I moved"

Indeed...

[djconnel]

I wish I could join you! (Hiking at Redwood Park, which is also excellent). It seems the Rockridge area is getting Millenium, supporting Faye's point.

A few comments:

The Strava routes include two minor deviations onto bike trail which are a bit silly, especially the first off St Mary's.

Also depending on how much you want to go to Barclays BART also supports point to point, returning from Berkeley BART. The connection at Macarthur station tends to be very efficient. There's several really good lunch options on Euclid near Hearst, for example.

A chance that I'll bail at out at Concord depending on how we are doing time-wise. 

Which car on Bart? Boarding at Civic Center. 

[Alexandre Passos]

Rearmost car.

I'm very sorry to say that the mac&cheese benedict was a special which didn't happen today. Food and beer were still pretty good, though.

Good ride, folks!

FOR THE RECORD, if mac & cheese benedict was one of the attractions of Barclays, it was not on the menu.

Beautiful ride, Faye is right about the rides drawing you in...

Yeah bummer on the mac n cheese benedict. 

Update: a woman found me on twitter to say that she found my wallet (ziplock baggie)! People are amazing. And now I don't need to go to the DMV! Thanks all for covering my food/beer, and Beckett for the Bart ticket.

Great news- you were so calm about the loss!

Coincidentally, I was just served mac and cheese pizza for dinner- who knew that that existed!

Nice job a on the ride. My hike in Redwood Park was amazing (Bay Area hiker compares it to Muir Woods without the crowds), but I wish I could have done both (although I was exceptionally tired after the relatively short hike...still feeling the effects of the 200 miles last Saturday, with a few challenging runs the past week).

I noticed you descended Spruce instead of Euclid... Other than that it seems the navigation was perfect.



Mac and cheese pizza??? Oh, my.

[Beckett Madden-Woods]

Spruce was intentional. :)
