Sequoia Hospital has a group and I'll be riding with them.
Should be an easy ride.

Careful on this one guys - it's a zoo. The first and last time I did it - they had a mass start. Cyclists all over the road. With luck that has changed. Oh, and you had to buy your lunch after the ride.

groups will be released every 10 minutes this year, and there are i believe 4 break/snack points on route. no lunch, but it's not 100 miles either. i figured it would be a zoo, hopefully one won't need goalie gear.

I'll probably ride over from Foster City on my trusty ol' Allez Sport.

This is a charity bicycle ride that benefits San Mateo County Parks, even though bicycles are banned from almost all non-paved roads in every San Mateo County Parks. I know that some local bicycle clubs have organized boycotts of this event in the past because of the hypocrisy.

Wouldn't it be great to open up one of the service roads in Huddart County Park to bicycles so we could have a car-free route up to Skyline? San Mateo County Parks does not agree.

Still is a zoo. There are families with children as young as 6 riding along.
This is a fun ride in the most complete sense. It gets better after a while b/c the herd thins a bit and you don't have to play dodge the obstacles.

I believe its also the same day as the Marin and Mt Tam centuries, not to mention the Santa Cruz Mountian Challenge.

Some how, I don't think anyone considering those rides would be interested in a 33 mile family ride where the biggest hill is Ralston Ave.

The full name is actually San Mateo County Parks and Recreation, though I guess not all forms of bicycling are considered recreation...
