We are firm believers in the saying of "Coffee or the ride didn't happen." Which means we will ride for a great cafe, bakery, gas station...whatever. This is our growing collection of favorite routes, handpicked by Lisa and Richard, with the coffee stops that make them worth doing.

HOW IT WORKS

Each route includes everything you need to plan your ride: distance, elevation, surface, the Strava link, and our honest notes on what makes it special. Plus, the coffee stop we'd never skip.

New routes added regularly. Got a suggestion? Hit reply on any of our emails or DM us @hummingbirdfuels — we're always looking for the next great ride. 🐦

The Ocho is our home route, a figure-eight loop (get it...ocho?!)🎱 that takes you up two rad climbs through Marin and back.

Plus, we do this route monthly in our Bird Ride with Pink Puffin. RSVP in our Strava club and we promise good miles, great views, and not a single bad vibe.

Lisa's notes:
There's a few punchy sections on the climbs, but nothing you can't handle.

What to bring:
🐦 One bottle of Hummingbird Fuels, you'll thank me later
🐦 Layers (gilet, jacket, arms) the weather always changes quickly

Post Ride Hangs:
🥮 Lung Fung Bakery (1823 Clement St) grab some pork buns (bring cash) and then...
☕ Coffee Movement (1737 Balboa St) just up the road for coffee and hangs.
