Birthday Ride to Point San Pablo (Ride # 110 1/2)

In celebration of November birthdays everywhere (we know of at least two in this group, George and Shawn!) we'll ride out to Point San Pablo for a celebratory brunch at the Sailing Goat.
The route is mostly trails and low-traffic streets but includes some busier roads and intersections. It is one of the group's longer, hillier rides and includes one fairly steep section that can be walked if needed.
Please arrive by 9:20 so that we can do introductions and leave by 9:35am SHARP. We'll aim to arrive at restaurant around opening time (11am) since we'll be a large group.
TIME: 9:35am
DISTANCE: 35.5 miles
ELEVATION GAIN: 1000ft
BART: The start point is just one block from MacArthur BART station! Those who need to peel off after lunch can easily reach the Richmond or El Cerrito BART stations
Route: We will bike out to the Bay Trail, take the Bay Trail up to Pt San Pablo, and on the return trip, take the Richmond and Ohlone Greenways.

This will be a casual but intermediate-level ride. We'll ride at a moderate pace but will make brief stops to keep the group together.
Please dress appropriately for the forecast and bring water, a mask, snacks, and money for our mid-ride lunch stop.
Please only RSVP “Yes” if you plan to come. If you can’t make it, update your RSVP so any folks on the wait list can participate.
If you’d like to bring a friend or family member please have them RSVP here on Meetup so we know how many people to expect.
No shows = no bueno.
