About this event
Note: You must register to join this ride.
This is a lovely loop ride beginning with a roll along the Oakland shoreline before heading east up into the hills and trees of Chabot and Redwood Regional Parks and descending again to the start.
The ride starts and ends at Fruitvale BART station. The route passes near Bay Fair BART so we could possibly pick up folks who might use that station instead.
9:15 AM meet up
9:30 AM ride out
