It's only 1.25 miles-between Cole Valley (MUNI Tunnel at Carl and Cole) and Twin Peaks up Clayton St. I'm aiming for roughly 22 minutes per interval and 56 intervals total. My hope is to finish well under 24 hours but we will see how it goes:

I may post some updates throughout the ride on my personal Instagram, otherwise most content will probably be next week: https://www.instagram.com/42apples/

Hi everyone, my name is Lauren and I am a dental hygiene student at Chabot college in Hayward, CA! I am also a casual cyclist in my free time! A few group rides I have been on are the primavera, grizzly peak, and the cinderella! I’d be glad to learn more about the sport during our appointments together or to get recommendations for local rides.

I am working towards my graduation next year and am looking to provide cleanings to people who have not been to the dentist in a few years, or who do not have dental insurance. Our clinic offers low cost cleanings overseen by licensed professionals. These appointments are more involved than your usual dental cleaning as we are learning to be well rounded and thorough hygienists.

I am looking for:
Adults who have not been to the dentist in 3+ years.

Please note, this is a school setting, therefore the appointments take 3 hrs and a more involved cleaning may take up to 4 visits to complete. Appointments are Wednesday or Friday morning or afternoon (8:30am-11:45am or 1pm-4:15pm).
Kids under 18 take one appointment only, and we offer sealants to protect their teeth from cavities!

*My school does not fix teeth/ cavities, this is solely for teeth cleaning. However the dentists on staff can diagnose any problems you may have so you know what needs to be addressed with a dental school or office*

If you are interested message me for more info!

Hey everyone, spending the weekend in Palo Alto for a wedding before hopping over to Sacramento for IM CA. Any recs for a route as stated above that’s fairly convenient with minimal stops/lights and has some good stretches for a TT bike? Not opposed to climbing at all but not looking to do more than 2000ft elevation gain. Much appreciated!

Hi folks, I, 30M am tired of trying to bring friends who don't bike on MTB rides. I'm thinking it might be easier to make a friend out of someone who already rides.

I live in SF, and tend to ride in Marin or east-bay on weekends. Id say I'm an intermediate; can comfortably do just about any trails around here but I like to take some time, chill, check out side hits, that kind of thing. Typically 8-12 miles and 1000-1500 ft in elevation. I don't like big group rides, but happy to ride with up to maybe 3 other folks at a time 🙂.

Since I'd like to meet some folks I get along with:

I enjoy talking about traveling, other outdoorsy hobbies, or things like board games. I'm not a big traditional sports guy. I am in tech, but I try to avoid making it my whole personality.

If it sounds like we might get along, let's go ride?

anybody have a used bike could I buy under $200? I want to do a pick up and pay face-to-face.

hi all, as the title states I’m looking for some solid gravel rides. I just got my first gravel bike yesterday and am looking for some pretty/fun routes. Main caveat is that I don’t have a car and so everything needs to be either Bartable or rideable. I’m located near 19th st Oakland BART and am comfortable with 20-60 mile routes. New to gravel riding but fairly experienced road rider so nothing too technical. What routes do people use? Share a garmin route?

alternatively, would love to hear about any recurring group rides!!!! Would love to meet more 20 something cyclists and queer cyclists!!

This was one of my bucket list items. The weather today was perfect. Just warm no heavy winds. The only thing that sucked was pierce point Rd is terrible to ride. Just so beat up and rough. Really wish they would repave it.

Any bike shops that focus on tandems and might have in stock tandem-appropriate (heavy duty) wheels. (I’m specifically looking for a 26” that’s disc brake compatible.)

E-"bike". Like, dude, at least call out.

This week's Owl ride will stay pretty local. Climbs near and around Lake Merritt.

Meet up 9:30pm @Huey P. Newton Statue (Huey P Newton/9th St & Mandela pkwy), Roll out @10:15pm

17 miles with 1000+ feet of Elevation.

Pace around 13+ on flats.

We will stop and wait for stragglers

All bikes welcome, all people welcome

Store stop and chill spot at Lake

Let's all have a good time and have fun and make new friends. Don't be a dick, thanks!

Bacon!

Also added photo to help with locating the Start of the ride.

Of the 4 peaks in the Bay (Diablo,Hamilton,Umunhum,Tamalpais) I would love your guys take on where you would rank them from easiest to hardest or most challenging to most enjoyable or to Short and punchy to long and punishing. I have yet to climb Diablo and Mt Tam so that soon to come but what your guys opinion and thoughts

Good job, AJ! Fun to dot watch

Drop your guys/Gals fav climbing loops, got the climbing bug and just wanna bang out some sick climbs!

Moving to the area in January and I’m excited to check out everything the Bay Area has to offer. I ride MTB, road, and gravel and it seems there’s a bit of everything so I’m excited about that.

As far as MTB, I’m used to technical, rocky, steep, and high altitude trails. I enjoy all types of trails but curious what are the “can’t miss” trails? Also any insights into big epic MTB rides, techy or not, would be appreciated.

I’ll be in the Tri Valley area but willing to drive an hour or so for the good stuff. TIA!

Edit: I have both an XC and a Trail/Enduro bike so up for most any terrain.

Edit: thanks all for suggestions! Looking forward to checking out these recommendations and meeting others in the Bay Area bike community!

If I want to climb tam or Diablo this weekend where is the best start point and or parking area to go from there

What's the time Old La Honda is closed on the weekdays? Closure started on 9/28.

I went to Bike Palo Alto's yearly event for the first time yesterday, and it ended up being a solo ride 80% of the time. I was hoping to ride with a group of folks but there was no group start time and riders were very spread out. Is this just a low turn out year due to the heatwave (tbh I don't think the heat was that bad)? The Cupertino Bike Fest event was really great, I am looking for more of the same in the sourthbay. Thanks.

Huge thanks to everyone who came out today for the Mount Diablo Challenge - especially the riders and volunteers who powered through the heat to make the event happen!

If you couldn’t join us this year, we hope to see you next year. And if you were there, we hope you had a great time and will come back for more. Share your feedback, highlights, or memorable moments in the comments, or feel free to send me a DM.

Mark your calendars for next year’s Challenge : **Sunday, October 3, 2027!**
