November 1st, 2025 RA Cycles Shop Road Ride
Come join us for another fall classic route!
We will meet at the shop at 8:30am for restrooms, last minute essentials / tire pumping. We will roll at 9am.
We will roll from the shop towards Martinez, and head across the Benicia Bridge. Then the group will roll along some surface streets and path along the water to Vallejo. When we hit Magazine Street, please be cautious and slow down as we will cross I-80 and there is a lot of traffic at that 4-way intersection.
Once we cross Magazine Street we will head to the Carquinez Bridge to Crockett. We will stop at the gas station in downtown Crocket for a quick water/bathroom break. Then we will head back to Martinez via Carquinez Scenic Drive.
The final stretch will be Alhambra Valley Road to Bear Creek Road to Happy Valley Road and into Lafayette. Left onto Deer Hill Road and over the short hill to Stanley Blvd and Camino Diablo back to the shop.
Please make sure to plan your nutrition, hydration, and repair kit to be self sufficient. We do our best to keep track of everyone, but varying fitness levels and timing for the entire group can be tough!
Please share this ride with your friends!
Chance of rain will be an "arrive and decide" if we alter the route as a group. Steady rain or soaking wet roads will cancel the ride.
