Here in the Bay Area, more specifically, here in Marin County, we have a ride every Easter morning to the top of Mt. Tamalpais. I think Mt. Tam is 2900 feet or so, with a road all the way to the top. It's a wonderful ride; the road is twisty and the view from the top is magnificent.
It's a pre-dawn event, so folks start to gather at an Arco station on Hwy. 1 at about 5am. On some unknown signal, everybody puts their helmet on and it's a brisk ride to the top, about 10 or 15 miles of very, very twisty roads.
I've been going pretty regularly for the last 6 years, through pouring rain (last year) and fog and the like. This year, the weather was pretty nice and we had a regular crowd.
At the ARCO station, bikes began arriving in earnest a bit after 5.
