This month our ride will start at the Canyon Club Brewery in Moraga and where we will enjoy post-ride refreshment. We will take Moraga Way from the start to downtown Orinda where we will catch the St. Stephens Trail and a couple of back roads that will take us to downtown Lafayette. There we will be on familiar territory and take the Lafayette-Moraga Regional Trail the usual way to Moraga Common. From there it’s a short hop up the road to our start.
The Canyon Club Brewery has a dinner menu, which you can find here,
https://canyonclub.works/location/moraga/dinner/ , as well as a variety of beers and other adult beverages. There is a pleasant outdoor dining area where we will enjoy the last of the day’s heat.
Meet at 5:15 PM with a 5:30 PM ride out.
Meet in the parking lot behind the Canyon Club Brewery, which it shares with the Outdoor Supply Hardware store. There is plenty of parking.
If you are coming by BART, you have the option to meet us in downtown Orinda and continue to Moraga. Of course after dinner you’ll have to ride about five miles back to Orinda BART. You should plan to bring bike lights as sunset is about 8:33 PM.
If you plan to meet us in Orinda, please email us so that we know to meet you. Plan to be at the Mash gas station in downtown Orinda, 22 Bryant Way, Orinda 94563, at 5:50 PM.

The Canyon Club has outdoor seating.
Please bring a lock or plan to put your bike inside your automobile. There is a bike rack just outside the outdoor seating area. But it is not visible from inside the fence. We may not be able to bring bikes inside if it's crowded. (It's often crowded.)
Please check the weather forecast and dress accordingly.
If you'd like to come to hang out and have dinner but not ride, please RSVP by sending us an email so we know the number attending.
