• C/0.5 (600')/40 LOVELY BAY GRAVEL RIDE.

  • Start
    Sun, January 19, 2025
  •  
  • End
    Sun, December 21, 2025
  • Schedule
    12 sessions
  • Location
    Burgess Park, Menlo Park

  Meet Fredo Cirne (walfredo.cirne@gmail.com, 408-931-4133) and Eduardo Colaço (eduardojmc@gmail.com) on the third Sunday of the month at 8:45 for an 9:00 departure at Burgess Park in Menlo Park (parking lot at Alma St and Burgess Dr).  

  This is a scenic gravel ride, exploring the Bay and avoiding cars even on paved roads.  Given so many fantastic destinations by the Bay, we are going to have a different route each month.  We always start from Burgess Park and go to the Bay via Lindenwood, cross 101 on the Menlo Park bike bridge, and reach the Bay via the yellow Meta bridge.  Once in the Bay, we typically do Bedwell's flow trails and, when not in hunting season, the Ravenswood loop to see the not-quite-yet-world-famous Menlo Beach.  From there, sometimes we cross Dumbarton to ride Coyote Hills and maybe stretch it a bit for lunch in Niles.  Other times we keep heading south and do Byxbee with a stop at the Center the Universe plaza and may go all the way to Alviso.  Every now and then, we start in the afternoon to enjoy a gorgeous sunset by the bay.  

  Regardless of where exactly we ride, we always stop for lunch (or dinner when doing a sunset ride).  This ride is great fun and just so beautiful (see photos and video), but keep in mind it contains a good amount of gravel.  I'd recommend a gravel, MTB or city bike with 38mm tires or more.  That said, if you are comfortable doing gravel with skinny 28mm tires, all the power to you!

  Contact ride leader(Fredo Cirne (walfredo.cirne@gmail.com) with any questions.

  Solvang Sojourn 2025

  October 17-24, 2025

   Join friends from Western Wheelers who will gather in Paso Robles, Solvang, and Santa Barbara to explore riding in this great area of California. We will take advantage of the (usually) mild fall weather to explore the California Central Coast. Rides are appropriate for B through D riders, with several routes offered on most days. E-bikes are welcome on this tour and ideal for the longer climbs, but make sure you have a good understanding of your bike’s capabilities. We’ll enjoy some rolling roads through open country as well as some impressive climbs iconic to the area. Our rides in the Paso Robles area will explore some rural territory that we don’t have time to explore on our regular LDT weekend that visits the area.

   This is primarily a hotel/base camp trip. There are no group fees for this trip. Your expenses will be only for your transportation, accommodations and meals. Happy hours are “pot luck”. We'll have optional group dinners on most nights. Rides are unsupported - no SAG. Some days have lunch purchase options and water availability, while on others you must carry your food and water.

   There are rides scheduled on each day (8 days), however Monday, 10/20 is a transfer day to Solvang and the ride is a short afternoon jaunt. Participants are always welcome to take a day off or do a different ride than the one scheduled for that day. Some will come for the whole adventure, but many participants join for just part of the trip, coming for 2-4 days.

   All rides are listed on the WWBC online ride schedule. For most of the rides there are several routes, which may have different starting locations. Most rides require driving 10-30 minutes to the start from our hotel! The first ride is 2 hours from Palo Alto on the driving route to Paso Robles. The start for the Gibraltar Road ride is in west Santa Barbara – 45 minutes from Solvang.

   Please REGISTER if you plan to attend. Detailed logistics information will only be sent to registered participants! While there is no problem changing your plans or canceling, this will give us a better idea of who is coming and what dates they will be there. WWBC membership is always encouraged, but is not a strict requirement.
