Golden Gate Park Loops - Beginner Ride (NO DROP)

Join ambassadors Dixon and Rob for a fun and semi-relaxed tour of Golden Gate Park. We will meet at the virtual end of Fell Street (as if Fell Street continued about 1/2 block into GGP), in front of McLaren Lodge. If you are relatively new to biking and just pacing yourself, this ride is for you!

The plan is to do several loops within Golden Gate Park, half of which is CLOSED TO CARS on Sunday (yay!). Each 5.5 mile loop will finish and end near McLaren Lodge so riders can choose how much distance they want to do! 

Meet at 9:30am. We roll at 9:45! 

Type:

NO DROP: No cyclist will be left behind. Each rider can choose how many loops they'd like to do. 

Please RSVP if you intend on attending. Thanks!
