The
mission of TRAC,
the Richmond Bay Trail Network is to complete the
San Francisco Bay Trail in Richmond and to promote
use and enjoyment of the Bay Trail by all of those
who live and work in Richmond and as a visitor attraction
to showcase the City of Richmond.
As the Richmond
Bay Trail Mid Year Report demonstrates, TRAC has
been focused on completing the Bay Trail in Richmond.
It is timely now with 20 miles completed and 2.7 miles
in the pipeline to be built this year that we should
start doing more to help you discover and enjoy the
Bay Trail. Regional Shoreline Park Outings in July

. Wednesday Bike Rides After Work from Berkeley to
Marina Bay and Return Join weekly bike rides from
Berkeley to Richmond’s Marina Bay and return.
Meet in the Moore Iacofano Goltsman, Inc. (MIG) courtyard
at 5:30pm (800 Hearst Avenue/cross St. 5th) or at
the foot of the bicycle bridge (at the end of Addison
Street) at 5:45pm. (This tour is not sponsored by
MIG)
It’s about 15 easy miles round trip (except
for the hill behind the race track!). Ride out to
Amini’s Deli, have a sandwich, ride about 1/2
mile to the end of the trail and ride back (arriving
at MIG at 7:45/8:00pm).
The group keeps a fair pace - except for looking at
great blue herons - but doesn’t race along by
any means. The preliminary schedule calls for rides
every Wednesday in July and August except August 3.
