Alameda Water Shuttle and Wave Oculus

Let's explore the Alameda Islands again, stay near the shorelines, and take the Alameda Water Shuttle to Jack London Square! After the mid-ride rest stop at Bicycle Coffee, we'll head back south, stopping for a quick look at the Wave Oculus. Other POI along the way: Coast Guard Island and several marinas. **Start Location: San Leandro Marina, North Parking Lot (close to the intersection of Fairway Drive and Monarch Bay Drive, 3-way stop)** **24 miles, 207 feet of climbing (a very flat ride)** **MEET 8:30am** **ROLL 8:45am** **RideWithGPS Route Link: [https://ridewithgps.com/routes/56429622?via=eZZQJ3AoxpZPCPmwiLGVGA](https://ridewithgps.com/routes/56429622?via=eZZQJ3AoxpZPCPmwiLGVGA)** **NOTE: We must board the water shuttle at 10:26am. If our group exceeds the boat's 14-bike capacity (including any general public cyclists), some of us will have to follow Ben on an alternate route to the coffee shop. It's also best to get to the boat early, so we can be first in line, and get priority.** Unfortunately, the coffee shop does not take pre-orders, so there will be time to relax there. \*Bring your helmet, tube, and water. We anticipate 'clothing adjustment stops' along the way. Restrooms are available at the start. \*The Ride Sweep will ensure that the group remains together. This is a "NO DROP" ride and is e-bike friendly. Cycling etiquette is essential. No SAG cars provided.

SF the Right Way

3 bridges and a ferry in a right-hand clockwise loop - close to 80 km. Meet us at Brickyard Cove for a 9 am rollout to the Bay Bridge and beyond. We’ll ride the 10:20 ferry from Treasure Island to SF. (If the ferry is crowded perhaps a couple riders could take a bus from TI to SF and meet us) Then we’ll head to the GG Bridge and cross to Sausalito where we’ll have lunch (maybe at Taste of Rome). Afterwards we’ll continue north and cross the RSR Bridge and finally head back to Brickyard Cove. Some folks might want to join us at the SF ferry bldg at 10:30; some might want to start in Berkeley but only go as far as Treasure Island or SF. The attendance limit is for people who will take ferry or bus from TI to SF. any number can come to the SF ferry bldg by other means and join us for the rest of the ride Whatever, let’s enjoy the last Friday before Labor Day forces us to face the end of summer.
