"The strongest of all warriors are these: Time and Patience" - War And Peace, Tolstoy. Don't lose your head, keep it screwed on tight, because something tells me we're headed for the Pacific today. Special appearance by Michael Gribelyuk, ACTC member and current Conn resident. Park along Delaware Avenue near the park. Lunch in Davenport. Faster riders can ride ahead, but no rider's behinds left forsaken. Seek happiness in tranquility and avoid ambition. Rotate your tires. 16-04-2026 09:30:00 16-04-2026 11:30:00 6 ACTC: Lick the Tins 42 mi, 4 LM , 3550 ft: "The strongest of all warriors are these: Time and Patience" - War And Peace, Tolstoy.

Why bother our otters? Escape the weekend crowds and explore more. From Bldg. 12, Skyline College West, we'll zip from unpaved Milagra Ridge, to Pacifica by the Sea, get uppity above Mussel Rock, shop or not along Lake Merced, see Mt. Sutro above UCSF (summit option), dive into Golden Gate Park, traverse Immigrant Point, zip north over the Gate, hike Hawk's Hill, loop Battery Townsley to Rodeo Beach, crunch gravel up the Bobcat Trail, lunch in Marin City, tour Sausalito, zip south over the Gate, cross the Park, top up San Bruno Mtn., and see more retail lunch options on our way to finish at Bldg. 12. Nominally, this tour's a Mountain Goat, but it is completely diggable by wide clearance road and gravel bikes. 16-04-2026 09:30:00 16-04-2026 11:30:00 6 ACTC: See Others 64 mi, 5 M , 6824 ft: Why bother our otters?

Join us for a Monterey loop where the climbs are real, the views are great, and your leaders are… well… learning the route right along with you. Think of it as a team building exercise, except the team is all of us and the “building” is mostly our quads. • We will regroup at the tops at the posted ride pace. We promise to look confident even when we’re double-checking the route like two tourists holding an upside down map. Your leadership duo: • Jamey — leading with enthusiasm, optimism, and a 50% chance of pointing the wrong direction with total confidence. • Rosemary — co-leading with calm precision and the ability to make even a wrong turn feel intentional • You — climbing however your legs, lungs, caffeine levels, and personal philosophy dictate. Expect the shared joy of discovering the route together like a group of cheerful, Lycra-clad explorers.
