Redwood Shores After Work Gravel Ride
Details
## Mid-Week Spin: The Redwood Shores Gravel Loop 🚴♂️💨
Looking to shake off the workday gridlock and swap screen time for some shoreline singletrack/hardpack? Grab your bike, because we’ve got the ultimate mid-week, after-work escape dialed in. This route takes full advantage of the gorgeous San Francisco Bay Trail looping entirely around the Redwood Shores peninsula.
Strava Map or Garmin Course maps out an elegant, flat, and lightning-fast 8.24-mile loop with virtually zero climbing (a gentle 54.7 feet of cumulative rollers over the whole ride). It is a pure, scenic cruise that splits its time beautifully between smooth pavement and fast-rolling levee gravel.
The Launchpad: Kick things off from Shores KinderCare for a South Bay Friendly parking spot.
## 🔧 Bike Setup: Tires & Rig
While a pure road or mountain bike can push through, a dedicated gravel rig, cross bike, or an all-road setup is where the fun is truly at.

Distance: 8.2 miles (1 lap)
Elevation: 54 feet along Bay Trail
