The 2023 Team Alameda “away weekend” of riding is only a week and a half away!  Just like last year, we are going to hit the roads around the Russian River and will have our “base” be downtown Occidental.  

The dates are October 20th (Friday) to 22nd (Sunday).

The Occidental Lodge, which is in downtown Occidental and close to several restaurants, set aside a block of 10 rooms for us. Please check out the lodge at https://www.occidentallodge.com/.  Call the lodge to make reservations and tell them that you’re with “Team Alameda”. Their phone number is (707) 874 3623.

If you would rather stay somewhere else in the area, or you didn’t jump on the reservations in time and the Lodge is all booked up, here are other options in the area:

• Inn at Occidental (really close by)
• Inn at the Tides in Bodega Bay
• Lots of other hotels and AirBNBs in Guerneville

We will have options for riding, both distance and pace, and will do our best to make sure that everyone has places for refueling along the way.  We are organizing a SAG car for us.  We hope that you consider joining us for a fun weekend of riding.  Please let us know that you are intending to join in on the fun by joining our Discord thread at #away-ride-occidental-2323, or dropping me an email at president@teamalameda.org, so that we can be sure to include you in our dinner reservations and ensure that you are part of the crowd when we roll out for our rides.  If we have not heard from you by this Friday the 13th, we cannot guarantee that we will have a seat for you during our group dinner on Saturday.
