Current air quality in Seascape and Watsonville is excellent and it should stay about the same or improve slightly by tomorrow.
David and I are watching it closely and will send out an email about the ride by 6:30 tomorrow morning. As things stand now, I would expect the ride will take place. Ken

Re: The Last Brew
Robert Tashjian
Air Quality has turned to pthtttpp in the last hour or so, to unhealthy for sensitive groups. It looks worse than that. We’ll still be there at 5:45 with sign-in sheets, but the ride is cancelled and is now a show & go. Come on out, and join us, have some snacks and a beer to cry in over not riding.

Das Brewsters,
This Friday is the last FFBC Das Brew Ride of the Summer. Come out and ride with us, or simply meet up with us after the ride for a cold one and snacks with your convivial bike buddies. We’ll meet at 5:45pm for a 6:00pm departure, back between 7 and 7:30 to start the final festivities, going until 8:30 or 9. It’s looking to be warm on Friday, so it should be really pleasant out on the Das Brew ‘Al Fresco’ area. Right now the air quality is predicted to be in the good to low moderate range. There is a choice of two routes
“Right Turn Clyde”, which is a flatter (cooler) route (https://ridewithgps.com/routes/27922960) or “Hills Backwards” which is a more challenging (much warmer) route (https://ridewithgps.com/routes/27922999)
The choice is yours. Please print your own cuesheet or load the route on your gps. Should the weather or air quality take a significant turn for the worse, we’ll still be at Das Brew at 5:45 to mourn our inability to ride (eg., crying into our beers and feasting on snacks).
If you are not riding, or new to the club and want to meet some members, come on down to Das Brew around 7 or 7:30 and join us for the post ride festivities!

Monday Morning Recovery Ride
Robert Tashjian
Monday Morning Recover’ers,
I will be leading the ride this Monday, Aug 23. We will recover on the tried and true recovery route with coffee at Panera, Pacific Commons. Meet across from Isherwood Staging Area at 8:30 for an 8:45 roll. Usual pickups at Paseo/Stevenson Chevron and at Paseo/Grimmer. As a reminder, we’re back in pre-pandemonium mode, so arrive early if you’re meeting at one of the pickup points. We’ll stop at the pickup points only long enough to sign in anyone there, then roll.
Hope to see you there, Rob --- Robert Tashjian rob@...

After getting rained out yesterday (yes, really) we have rescheduled the Adventure Ride-Gizdich Ranch for next Sunday and we have moved the start time back to 9:30 to give folks more time to get there.
Thank you to all the hardy cyclists that showed up, now let’s do it again. Ken

Das Brew ride cancelled tonight
Robert Tashjian
Das Brewsters,
The air quality is deteriorating and projected to head upwards around 100, so I’m calling off the ride. It’s now a show & go, per club rules. Diana & I will be at Das Brew at 6(ish) for a beer to cry in and hopefully some FFBC company to share our pain.

Das Brew Ride #3
Robert Tashjian
Das Brew Riders,
It looks like the air quality will be in the moderate range tomorrow, so the ride, for now, is on. The ride is an easy ride around central Fremont, called “Right Hand Clyde”, consisting of all right hand turns. The RWGPS route is here: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/27922960
I’ll make the final call by 3pm Friday as to whether the FriYay! Das Brew ride is on. Assuming the ride is on, we’ll meet at 5:45 for a 6pm ride time.
As always, if you can’t make the ride, please join us for the after ride festivities, snacks & beer. We should return to Das Brew between 7:00 and 7:30pm. If the ride is cancelled, Diana and I will still be there by 7pm to cry in our beer about not riding.

Re: Adventure Ride-Gizdich Ranch
David Walker
And just a reminder for everybody, this is not a “no drop” ride. From the ride description on the web site: Riders of all abilities are welcome, but if you are a slower cyclist you should not expect the group to wait more than ten minutes for you. Every rider should be self-sufficient and be prepared to self-navigate the route. We’ll wait about 10 minutes from the median speed. I just wanted to make sure everyone knew this beforehand. It’s a great route and (hopefully) better air quality on the coast. Make certain that you check the info groups.io mail list before departing for Seaside. If the air quality worsens and we need to cancel the ride, the notice will be there. Hope to see y’all Saturday! David Walker

TMCR - Route
Lori Sommer
Hello, The air quality is currently cruddy here in the Fremont area, so I’m a bit up in the air about riding tomorrow. If I cancel (automatically turns into a show and go) I will do so by 7AM, send an email and post it in the calendar. This week we will meet at Sprouts and may or may not climb a couple of hills close to home, Appian and Stenhammer (both optional). Mission Coffee will be our stop. Please download the route on ridewithgps or print the attached route sheet. I hope you can join me. Lori Thursday, 19 August WhenThu, 19 August, 08:30 – 12:30 WhereSprouts Farmers Market, 6399 Jarvis Ave, Newark, CA 94560, USA (map) DescriptionLength: 30 miles 857' elevation Terrain: 2, 3; Pace: T, M SPECIFIC ROUTE: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/37121095?beta=false We will climb an old nemesis, Appian Way then on to a friendlier climb, Stennhammer. Both climbs are optional. Mission Coffee is our stop. Download the ridewithgps route or print the attached pdf route sheet located at the bottom of this post. Wear a FFBC club jersey and let's stay close to home. We will meet at Sprouts located in the former Raley's Shopping Center (6399 Jarvis Ave, Newark). The specific route for this third Thursday of the month repeating ride will be posted here (with an attachment for you to print) as well as to the FFBC email groups (https://ffbc.groups.io/g/info/topics ) once it is selected. This is usually done a day or maybe two days before the ride. Sometimes we ride without route sheets so we regroup as necessary and no one is left behind. We will mainly stay in Fremont but ride through Newark and sometimes Union City and Milpitas on occasion. Sometimes the climbing is optional. We always stop for coffee ($) and riders are welcome to head back on their own. Extreme temperatures, park closure, construction, rain, poor air quality or the whim of the ride leader may modify or cancel the route.
