Good luck. There are a lot of newbie rides offered on some other forums and I know one of them sometimes starts at the starbucks on calaveras. Not the one by the old library but on the other side of 680. Gah I forget what road that is right there...

Not sure how long ago you left the Bay Area / CA, but I do know of an individual that hosts Group Rides that often times stage / start at the same Starbux you mention.....for their East Bay ride through Calaveras, Palomeras, Redwood, Skyline, Grizzly Peak.
In fact, I joined one of his rides today for the first time. Although this ride started at the Snell Starbux (Snellbux) in San Jose. The route: Santa Teresa, around Uvas reservoir, up through Hecker Pass, Soquel / Old San Jose Hwy, down through Old Santa Cruz Hwy.
In short; a fun, safe and organized ride (5 different groups [8 riders each] of level / pace).
