Ride details
Assembly Area
The assembly area has been moved again this year but only a little. A family-oriented theatre production in a large tent was recently erected adjacent to last year's ride assembly area. Therefore, the ride assembly area has been moved to another side of the same fountain where we will be less visible to families attending the show. See the map on the right.
Schedule
- 12 noon: Bike/body decoration. Professional body painting will be provided.
- 1 pm: Ride starts
- 5 pm (approx): Ride finishes back where it started.

History
At the 2009 event there were around 120 riders. We gather starting at noon near the North end of Justin Herman Plaza (just North of the huge fountain with all of the cubic shapes) and head out at about 1 PM when the body painters have done their work. We keep a steady pace heading to almost the Golden Gate Park (we stop, rest and then turn around in the Panhandle) and back. We also stop and rest (and pose for photos) on the Polk St. steps of City Hall (there is usually an event going on in the Civic Center Park).
