I live in San Francisco and plan to ride the 2011 Cinderella Classic. I'm looking for training rides that are either in San Francisco or Oakland. I know about the Fremont Freewheelers' series of training rides, but I don't drive, so would struggle to get to their training rides in time for the 8 am start.
Any ideas anyone?
Keep in touch with Velogirls, they usually do a several-week mileage build-up program with Cinderella as the endgoal.

If not the VeloGirls how about the Oakland Yellowjackets? They seem pretty active. I'm watching the suggestions for this one as I am moving back to Oakland early next summer :D :D after a too long hiatus in Sacramento.
+1 on Velogirls. http://velogirls.com/calendar.phpQuote:

Check the AIDS lifecycle training schedule. I'm sure you'd be welcome to participate as a veteran rider.
Grizzly Peak Cyclists has a novice rider series. I know you're not a novice :D but returning to century form that'd be helpful.
Just thought I'd post the link to the 2011 Cinderella ride series put on by the Fremont Freewheelers, in case anyone else might be interested.

I'm probably not participating in this, just passing the info on.
Ah, right, the founders sponsors inventors of (is it the first US women-only metric/century? :cool:) ride. :D
Even if you don't register for the Cindy these are all great clubs/resources for getting in shape for the season. We're so lucky to have so many great clubs here and I'm sure there are others I've missed.
