I am a somewhat regular weekend road bike rider (analog) but picked up a Specialized Creo 2 in October as a gift to myself. I managed a few good rides before the rains came, but looking for other e-Gravel Bike riders in the bay area to ride with. Not looking for technical downhills (no need to injure myself) but nice fire roads, gravel trails etc. I rode up Mt. Tam a few weeks ago, and the bike did great. Ping me if you are in the area and want to meet up for a ride some weekend (when the weather is better).

Welcome to EBR forum, dpaulson! I am on the peninsula, and since July I ride a Creo 2 (also a gift to myself...birthday.) In San Mateo County, the trails are not legal for eBikes, so I ride mostly road, with a few side gravel roads, etc. Driving 45 minutes south, there are trails which are legal. I have yet to ride those on the Creo, but have on my MTB. I know Tam, a bit, I tried a ride on a gravel bike, with a friend on a MTB. I immediately added a dropper post to my gravel bike, the basic manual non cabled type (when needed)
I'd be up to explore Miwok, Tennessee Valley, Railroad grade and related trails, on the Creo in the near future. I am just not an early guy, and it takes over an hour to drive there from here. BTW, I have yet to see another Creo in the wild here. but not surprised.

Welcome aboard! I'd ride road or gravel with you if I still lived in Sausalito. Put in many miles on and around Mt. Tam back in the day (Late Bronze Age). What a cycling wonderland Marin County is!
We'd love to see your Creo and the places you ride. My 3 favorite forum threads are the ones for sharing ride photos.

So, the calendar rolls over yet again… what will it be this time? Will RabH decide to test the 7000 mile barrier? Will Stefan figure out a way to sneak into the Tour de France? Will Art outrun a bear? Will Dave Matthews get a Fender guitar? This place is very much about the people, though of...

@dpaulson, The Bay Area is huge. If you can get to Larkspur Landing you can jump on the SMART train. That opens up Sonoma Mtn. and Western Marin. You can do Anondale. The North Sonoma Mountain regional park is beautiful and connects to Jack London State Park in Glen Ellen. Helen Putnam park is great fun and it connects to Chileno Valley.

Helen Putnam Regional Park punches above her weight. The compact yet bountiful park near Petaluma explodes with wildflowers every spring, in particular the state’s signature California poppy.
