Wondering if they're any Petaluma-area people who might be up for some rides? Right now, I mostly ride by myself w/occasional group rides w/some older SRCC members. I'm looking for some people to make me work a bit harder. For reference, here are three of my regular rides:

Petaluma - Wilson Hill - Marshall Wall - Pt. Reyes - back on Petaluma Pt Reyes Road/ D Street = 50 miles/ 3000 feet climbing. This usually takes me 3 to 3.5 hours.

Petaluma - Valley Ford - Bay Hill - Hwy 1 - Coleman Valley - Occidental- back via Valley Ford. 65 miles/ 3800 ft climbing/ 4.5 hours.

Petaluma - Olema - Hwy 1 - Bolinas Fairfax Road over to Fairfax - back via Nicasio, Petaluma Pt Reyes Road. 70 miles/ 6000 climbing/ 5.25 hours. (This kicks my ass, but damn it's fun!)

Obviously, I'm not in the best shape but I'm looking for riders who are going to push me a bit and are down for good-sized rides with plenty of climbing. This month I'm available Saturday and Sunday mornings, most Thursdays from 9:30a to 2pm, Wednesdays from dawn until 11a. After 9/25 I'll also be riding Tuesdays and Fridays 10a - 2pm.

Give me a holla, let me know of suitable group rides, any help is appreciated. I'm pretty new to cycling, but par for the course, have become something of a fanatic.
easy,

in Sebastopol, but I'm just now getting back into cycling haven't "hit the hills" yet. Still too much lazy fat to burn off during the base miles phase of my "comeback."

However, you should check out the Saturday morning Hub Cyclery rides and the Sat and Sun NorCal BikeSport rides. Both of these are described in the SRCC newsletter and at the bottom of the Current Rides listing on the website. www.srcc.com. Even if those rides aren't exactly what you're looking for, you stand a very good chance of finding likeminded and skilled riders to pair up with.

Good luck.

if one can be organized, and the routes distances you mention (about 100K) sound good. I'm up in Mendocino Co., but am down in Santa Rosa almost every weekend so Saturday or Sunday would work for me....
