Start time can vary depending on your preference. East Bay excursion starting and ending in Rockridge, Oakland. This ride connects some of the most scenic and often forgotten riding terrain in the Bay Area. My home turf and some of my favorite routes are shared. There are so many benefits to riding in the East Bay but the biggest perk is the scenery: You can see San Francisco, Marin, Mt. Tam, Mt. Diablo, Tilden Park, the Golden Gate Bridge, UC Berkeley and the South Bay. This ride has plenty of dirt connections to add to the loop if you are into gravel grinding or road bikes on dirt. Bring your own bike or one will be hired for you.
