East Bay Tri Club, having joined us at the training weekend earlier this year, is excited to return the favor and welcome us for a joint EBTC-SVTC Halloween ride!

And what better way to warm up for Halloween than with a ride past Piedmont’s cemetery, followed by your choice of trick or treat?

Both routes start and finish at Alameda Park Station ("where friends, family, & pups gather for fine food and beer") and stay together for the first 13 miles. From there, choose how scary you want your Halloween ride to get. Please note: Both rides follow primarily urban routes with frequent traffic lights and stop signs. The middle section of the B route provides a stretch of more open, non-urban riding.

B Route — The Trick

• 39 miles • 3,100 ft climbing
• Medium pace with limited fueling/rest stops
• https://ridewithgps.com/routes/56817465

Ready for a few extra Halloween jitters? The B group heads into the Berkeley hills for a hefty dose of climbing, passing the festively lit Berkeley carousel before making its way back to Alameda.

C Route — The Treat

• 30 miles • 900 ft climbing
• Comfortable pace with multiple fueling/rest stops
• https://ridewithgps.com/routes/56817611

Prefer your Halloween a little sweeter? The C group skips the big hills and stays mostly flat, returning along the scenic Bay Trail through Oakland Harbor before finishing with a hop across the water on the Alameda Water Shuttle.

The After Party

Both routes are designed so that the groups arrive back at roughly the same time.

And every good Halloween adventure deserves a treat at the end! Stick around after the ride to hang out with your fellow SVTC and EBTC athletes at  Alameda Park Station.  Food and drinks will be available for purchase.

Two clubs. Two routes. One Halloween ride. Pick your trick—or your treat—and come ride with us!
