GPC Thirsty Thursday Mixty Ride
Mixed terrain fun ride through East Bay roads and trails every Thursday evening. About 17 miles of casual riding from Canyon Club Brewery in Moraga with drinks after.
The vibe
Dirt, roads, and cold drinks
The Thirsty Thursday Mixty Ride from Grizzly Peak Cyclists is exactly what a Thursday evening should be: 17 miles of mixed terrain through the East Bay hills at a recreational pace, starting and ending at Canyon Club Brewery in Moraga. The group of about 8–10 riders rolls at 5:35 PM after meeting at 5:30, covering a blend of roads and trails that takes advantage of Moraga’s excellent riding territory without turning it into a training session.
“Mixty” means mixed terrain — expect both pavement and dirt, which makes a gravel or cross bike the right choice. The pace is casual, the atmosphere is friendly, and the reward waiting at Canyon Club after the ride is not subtle: good beer in a setting that suits a post-ride hour perfectly.
This is one of GPC’s more social-facing rides, designed for people who want to ride and talk in equal measure. If the intensity of the Tuesday Hills ride isn’t your Wednesday speed, the Thirsty Thursday Mixty is the right calibration — same club, different vibe.
