Once we get to the viewpoint on Treasure Island, we'll snap some photos, spin around, and bike back to Jack London Square in Oakland to grab some lunch together before hopping on either the Alameda Ferry or West Oakland BART to get back to downtown SF.

Info about the ride:

When: October 24 at 8:30AM
Where: Golden Gate Bridge Welcome Center
Courses:
Option 1 : 47mi, 1,600ft elevation, Groups riding at 13-15mph & 15-18 mph w/ frequent regroups
Option 2: 70mi, 5,000 ft elevation, 15-18mph (limited regroups) - led by Nick C.

Make sure to bring a helmet, water, nutrition, money, flat repair system, and smiles!

It's that time of year again! I know everyone has been training hard, but the season is coming to an end, so time to switch gears to a nice blend of drinking+running, that's right, it's time for the Kevin Lowry's Annual Memorial Beer Mile!

So.... put on your Halloween COSTUMES and come out to show your skills at Kezar Track on Saturday, October 24th at 3pm. We will have a quick warm up and then begin the festivities. Afterwards, we can all head over to Kezar Pub.

We will have three divisions: 1) Sprint Division (non-alcoholic beer), 2) Half-Ironman Division (relay division with real beer), 3) Ironman Division (the real deal!)

The club will be providing ABV-Compliant beer. Feel free to BYOB if you want something different or non-alcoholic.

If you don't know what a beer mile is, then let the internet inform you: beermile.com/rules . Approved beers here: https://www.beermile.com/beer_abv.beer

Feel free to reach out to Kevin Lowry on Slack or at 817-371-1586 (he's not dead, he just REALLY likes beer miles...) if you have any questions or suggestions on how to make this even more fun.

[Run] ROKA Bridge-to-Bridge Run (Sat, November 14, 2026)

Sat, 14 Nov 2026 18:30:00 GMT

The ROKA Bridge-to-Bridge Triple Crown challenge is back!

This fall we will once again do a Bridge-to-bridge event series where we swim, bike and run from the Golden Gate Bridge to the Bay bridge, in three separate events!

The run will start on the north/Marin side of the Golden Gate Bridge. After running back across the bridge, we'll follow the coast all the way until we get to the Bay Bridge. Make sure to stick around after as we'll be hanging out at Hidive for beer and brunch!

When: November 14 at 10:30AM
Where: H. Dana Bowers Rest Area & Vista Point
Course: Strava

Another option is to start the run from the Golden Gate Bridge Welcome Center (south side/San Francisco side) if you'd like less miles! This would be 6 instead of 8 miles. We would likely be at this side of the bridge at 10:50 a.m. Please let Angela know if you are running this option.

Transportation: We recommend taking public transportation or ride share to get to the Vista Point parking lot. Note you could double up and do Tam High Swim in the morning and get a friend to drop you off at this convenient point on the way back!

Make sure to bring a cash/card, water, and smiles!
