This month our ride will start at Rancho Cantina in Lafayette and where we will enjoy post-ride refreshment. We will take the Lafayette-Moraga Regional Trail to Moraga all the way to the end at the Valley Vista Staging Area. We will then head to Orinda and catch the St. Stephens Trail and back roads back to Rancho Cantina.

Rancho Cantina has an outdoor dining patio where we will enjoy the last of the day's heat. We will be able to keep our bikes nearby but it doesn't hurt to bring a lock.
Meet at 5:15 PM with a 5:30 PM ride out.
Meet in front of Rancho Cantina. Parking on the street is paid but the nearby Lafayette BART parking lot is free after 3 PM.
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.
Keep in mind that sunset will be at 8:30 PM. If you plan to ride home after the meal, be sure to bring lights.
