What are the hardest core group rides in the Bay area Saturdays and Sundays?

Thanx

House of Pain
Day: Saturday
Time: 08:55 AM
Meet: Park-N-Ride on Rudgear, right off Danville Blvd./Rudgear exit on 680

Typically 10-30 riders, mix of Strada Sempre Duro and non-Duro members, mostly racers - or riders who can keep up with racers Usually 65 miles, out to Livermore up Collier Canyon/Vineyard & back. Fast-paced ride, with one re-group point at the Livermore gas station. Finishes around 1pm.

Ken Carpenter, Dave Fuentes, some pro triathletes among the regulars; very hard core.

Thanks for the reply.

Any really big hard group rides....like the "Shootout" in Tucson.
Also, what about Sundays.

You might try the Webcor A ride on Sundays. Info here:

Thank you. That "A" ride sounds good.

And I also learned today that "The Spectrum Ride" out of the same club in Los Altos is probably the "Shootout" of the Bay area in that it is big, hard/fast and long.

It's not a ride of the AV club, I've been on it and there were even a few times when nobody from the AV club showed up...
