Dear Members,
We are returning to the roads around the Russian River again and our “base” will be downtown Occidental at the Occidental Lodge.
The dates are September 26th (Friday) to 28th (Sunday)
You may also choose to join us only for the Saturday ride at 1000 (10 AM), if your available time is limited. The Friday ride is scheduled for 1300 (1 PM).
The Occidental Lodge, which is close to several restaurants, has set aside a block of 10 rooms for us. Some rooms are more updated than others, but all have a very reasonable rate of only $149.95.
Please let us know that you intend to join us by sending an email at memberatlarge@teamalameda.org and advise if you booked a room at the Occidental Lodge. We will follow up with you by email to confirm plans and answer any questions. You are also encouraged to join the #away-ride-occidental-2025 Discord channel where details and arrangements can be discussed, such as coordinating car pools, luggage transfers, and dinner reservations. Arrangements can also be made by the aforementioned email if you do not wish to use Discord.

26-28 September 2025
Team Alameda has a block of ten (10) rooms reserved at the rate of $149.95 (not including taxes) per night.

Bicycles may be kept in the room, with regard to keeping the carpets and area clean.

The office closes at 2200 hours (10 P.M.).
