OK... well, since I'm feeling a little chatty, here are the rides I know about:
Velogirls - the VG's have 3 different rides listed for Saturday (I think one of them is East Bay-ish) and 2 for Sunday. See www.velogirls.com for details.
Oakland Yellow Jackets - This is still "off-season", but they have Saturday "ride and decide" get-togethers. Meet at the Children's Fairyland parking lot on Lake Merritt in Oakland - rollout at 9 am. No-drop, 30-50 miles over varied terrain depending on group preference. Non-members may have to sign a waiver. See www.oaklandyellowjackets.org for ride requirements (safety stuff).
Oh, and the Bay Area Cycling Clinic... see TE thread on this one. http://forums.teamestrogen.com/showthread.php?t=13924
Any individuals out there have a ride planned?

Hi Spazz,
Btw, I ride with the Yellowjackets during the season, and they're a great and diverse group of people. The season kickoff ride is an April 14 ride around Alameda and a picnic (they have the best potlucks EVER), if you or anyone else wants to partake. You don't have to be a member to ride with the club, but you do have to bring a waiver (which is on their website) to each ride if you're not (maybe not in the off-season).
I don't have a ride yet for the weekend, but I'm still needing to take it easy on my knee. If you or anyone is interested in a flattish 20 miles somewhere in the East Bay this weekend, I'd love some company.

How about Alameda Creek trail tomorrow?
Spazz, I know you did this last weekend - would you want to do it again? I'd like a go at the Nemesis hill.
Amy, I heard you were up for this ride tomorrow.
Keep calm and carry on...
Yes, please, Bikerz! Melissam and I were talking about 10:30 tomorrow, maybe? I might have an issue with the hill, though...I s'pose I can always walk up it.
Let me know where we'll meet- I've never been there.

Ace, you can just perch at the bottom while everybody goes up and down... at least that's been the case the couple of times I've been there.
Not sure if I want to go there again... really hate driving to ride. Post your start time though just in case I change my minds.
I may attempt a ride from Oakland to Lafayette... maybe... if I wake up really crazy. Got to figure out a route first.
