September 20 Marin Headlands/Pre Rivendell picnic ride

[dstein]

Quick heads up to anyone who is not watching the Bay Area Rivendell Riders Group, there is a 9/20 Marin headlands ride starting at 9:30 from the ferry building (in front of Gott's) and ending around 1-ish at Crissy Field for the Rivendell Bicycle Picnic from 1-4 featured on the Blug. First version of the route here: http://ridewithgps.com/routes/10349080. Totally open to suggestions for anyone joining that knows the area better than I do. PM if interested in meeting up.

Forgot to mention: mixed terrain.

Any NW folks want to make this a whirlwind weekend to SF for a ride/meet up?

I would like to come.  I have a Sam Hillborne, my wife rides a Handsome Cycles She Devil.  Are non-Rivendells welcome?

If the wifey isnt doing better i might join solo. I have a route in mind that is fairly short and fun.

Otherwise We'll see you at the picnic

Quick roll call, I see a John and his wife coming and a possible Manny from this thread (and a few more from the other thread on the Bay Area Rivendell Riders group). We're also meeting DougP +1  around start of the GG bridge and they are sticking to pavement, so if anyone wants to split off with them to do an all pavement ride that's a good option.

Meet in front of Gott's at the fairy building. I should be there by 9:30, but could be 15 minutes late, BART can be a little iffy on the weekends due to track maintenance. It's supposed to be hot, and there's no shade in the headlands, so bring lots of water and sunscreen. Lots of climbing too, sorry.

The route I posted isn't totally accurate, one of the trails (Wolf Ridge) is not a bike trail, so now I'm thinking of going Miwok/Old Springs trails to Tennessee Valley and then Maricello/Bobcat trail back to Bunker Road (for the unpaved stuff). There is a 1 mile downhill section (Old Springs) that is a little steep with lots of wooden steps. Everything else is pretty smooth fireroad. If anyone has some route ideas let me know.

Ferry building, not fairy building.

Don't you love spell check? I'm on schedule to be there on time.

It was great meeting up with you guys. We always love riding new areas. Interesting how many ways Rivs get set up.

Great ride today! Thanks to David for planning the route. Anyone have some decent pics to post? Riv Picnic pictures, too?

[Sean Kline]

Yes—great ride! I took a few very modest photos (!) accessible here:
