About this event
Ho Ho Ho, Happy Holidays! This is the special Christmas White Elephant Gifting Pie Rides. Come ride with us and then let's gather at Big Rock Deli Cafe address: 1500 Lucas Valley Road X Mt. Lassen Drive, San Rafael 94903 Map post ride just 1 mile down the road, let's play our 3rd annual White Elephant Gift Exchange! We are aiming to start the gift Exchange at 2:30PM. Read on for the rides staggered start times and new rules of the game this year!
Ride Details: Pie 4 Ways! Please note the different start time of your route. The idea is for the rides to end around the same time. Pack the bike up or ride over to to Big Rock Deli. Grab a couple of tables and order up some food. We plan to start the gift exchange at 2:30PM. Please time your Pie stop, or skip Pie to get back in time. We want you to play!!
Big Pie Route 63 miles/ 3,500'/Moderate pace: Do you want pie but you also love to roll through Chileno Valley? Then this ride is for you! Indian Valley Campus*Stafford Lake Park*Wilson Hill*Chileno Valley Road*Spring Hill Rd*Petaluma Pie Co*Petaluma Blvd...in that order! Climbing difficulty includes Wilson Hill (7.7% average grade for 0.7 miles) and Spring Hill (4.4% average grade for 1 mile) Meet at Marinwood Community Center at 8:15 am/Roll 8:30am
Pie-Less Big Route 64 miles/3500'/Brisk Pace: Want to ride fast and skip the pie? This ride is for you! Follow the same roads as the Big Pie Route but cut off at Windsor and skip the pie in downtown Petaluma. Meet at Marinwood Community Center at 9:15 am/Roll 9:30am
Little Pie Route 47 miles/ 2,200'/Social Pace:Have pie, or not after a nice climb out of San Antonio Road. Indian Valley Campus*Redwood Blvd* San Antonio Rd*D Street*Petaluma Pie Co*Petaluma Blvd. Meet at Marinwood Community Center at 9:15 am/Roll 9:30am
Littlest Pie Route 24 miles/Leisurely/1200 feet : Shorten the ride but still earn and enjoy your pie. Start at San Marin SMART Station and meet the Little Pie riders between 10:15-10:30 am. ***This option leaves 10:30 am from San Marin SMART Station
After the ride bike on over with your White Elephant gift; lean your bike in the open areas in the back next to the stage or drive your car over. Please order inside the market. If you get there early, enjoy some food first. We are aiming to start the gift exchange at 2:30PM. ***Pace your ride accordingly. You may want to skip the pie stop or not... It's about 1.5hrs back to Marinwood from Petaluma downtown. The idea is to have all the different pace groups be at Big Rock deli at about the same time***
