Welcome!

Welcome to the Ramping Up - a progressive series of rides from Jan through May to prepare for multiple day rides (such as "Cycle to Zero" or "NorCal AIDS Cycle"). We start off with a 17 mile ride and build each week until we are doing a 100 mile ride. If you consistently take part in this series, you will be ready for just about any ride! Not only are the rides epic, but the scenery and the people are too. We are a warm and welcoming inclusive group of cyclist of all ages and shapes.

The Route

This ride is very basic. We start at McLaren Lodge and ride to the Presidio. We head west to Lincoln Blvd and follow to Lincoln Park and the Legion of Honor. This is our first climb with excellent photo ops of the Bridge. After Legion of Honor, we descend and exit the park and then head west on Clement for another climb and then descent allong the coast. The rest is similar to last week as we head south on the Old Great Hwy (now a seaside park) down to the Zoo. We head inland and follow the paths around Lake Merced. We will have a break at a Peet's in a nearby shopping mall before heading back to the Ocean, up the Old Great Hwy and through Golden Gate Park again!
