I am planning to get out for about 40 miles or so, probably on Saturday. Who else is riding and where?

BTW, the GPC ride for Saturday (King Ridge) looks epic: https://grizzlypeakcyclists.org/rides/current.html
Santa Rosa Cycling Club calls it (or maybe a similar route) one of the best rides in America (https://www.srcc.com/10_rides.html). Unfortunately, I'm not in good enough shape to bite off something this big!

I have the SF 200K brevet on Saturday.

Neither rain nor snow nor wind will keep this rider from his Saturday route.

My buddy's supposed to do the earlybird road race in Patterson but they'll call it for rain.

I'll ride in the rain to commute to work but I can't for the life of me ride in the rain for training or fun.

IF it doesn't rain I plan to ride up Skyline Blvd via Old La Honda on Saturday. Hopefully.

No riding for me - on Saturday there's a great naturalist-let hike looking for salamanders in Sunol Regional Park. My kids like this one so much that they've talked a bunch of friends into coming along! Then, indoor soccer kills Sunday...

I've been out riding the last few days - there's very little wind around, so the temperature is bearable as long as you can get a ride in between the drops!

We're overdue for a tandem ride, so if it's not actively raining on Saturday we'll go out for a spin.

Sunday we're supposed to go to the Early Bird again, but I sure don't want to do it if the weather's like last week's -- especially if it's raining but not enough for them to cancel it.

And I read today that we're only 86% of normal rain...I hope this week rectifies that. I miss the sun.

SF 200k brevet in Marin.... 80% chance of rain with a high of 45 F and 11-13 mph winds all day.

I am entranced in preparation at the moment...

Don't forget your surgical gloves young lady, and good luck!

If the chance of rain is < 50% I'll go out but I'll take the bike with fenders. If its raining when I get up I'll hit the treadmill or the trainer and hang out at home.

My first weekend to get back on the bike and it rains, argh! I may still make it out between kids' basketball, birthday parties, and stuff my wife has planned.

I'll be riding my usual Tam loop from SF on Saturday AM, with rear fender & rain coat.

The route I do from the Sunset in SF is almost exactly 100K and goes over to Mill Valley, up to Pan Toll, down to Stinson, then over the Mt. Tam Hill Climb course, back to Pan Toll and home. If the weather is nice I drop back down to Stinson and come back on Hwy 1 for a few extra miles.

Snow level is about the same as the cloud level ~1500 feet maybe?

ROJA

Any recommended rain rides? I think Tam or Diablo could be dodgy in the rain because of cars and risk of sliding off the road. But maybe nobody climbs Diablo in the rain?

I have to get a road ride in this weekend, so I think Saturday I'll stay in the city and do San Bruno Mt. scenic ocean route from SF downtown. About 45 mi leaving at Approx. 9:am. If its really, really bad I'll move it to Sunday morning same time.

I rode rain or shine today

Probably not this weekend though

I've been commuting all week & fancy staying dry this weekend

Was going to drive this morning, but I'm not taking a classic car out in this weather...

caloso

Planning to do a group ride on Saturday morning. If it's pouring, fine. If it's windy, fine. If it's pouring and windy, not fine. I'll just stay home, eat waffles, and put in some training time.

This post summarizes my week

Car stays in the garage... I ride my bike all week.... Do some work in the garage this weekend.

ROJA

Dude, I don't think your beater 1986 Camaro (nickname: "Widowmaker") counts as a classic car!

spingineer

I bailed on the 200k brevet. I think I'll take this opportunity to do my poser ride to Los Altos or Palo Alto ... unless someone has a better poser ride to go on?

ROJA

As noted above, I am thinking about Diablo for the following reasons:
1. there should be minimal traffic;
2. it will allow a solid workout in only 2-3 hours of riding; and
3. cold won't hurt you while you are busting your (self) to climb the big one.

But, there are a few cons, including:
1. no visibility at the top means that we'll miss the nice views;
2. it will be very cold coming down (I'm thinking about bringing my ski gloves);
3. it will be slippery coming down, so riders will have to take it easy.

Snap!
What's the car - a project? I have a 1967 MGB that has seen ongoing restoration for the last 4 years... And we thought bikes were expensive

4. It could be very windy, which would be treacherous esp going around corners on the descent.

Argh! Rain all day forecasted for tomorrow.

I guess I'll put in some time honing my LEE7 CounterStrike skilz.
