I had the pleasure of attending a fantastic bash of a birthday party - Tickle Me Elmo Style for a 2 year old friend this weekend. Despite the rain it was quite an event to remember! Just wanted to show support for the locals that I loved!

Family BikeRide over the Golden Gate Bridge

SF Bicycle Coalition Rec Ride: Family Golden Gate Bridge Ride
Sun., Mar. 21 | 10:30am | Ride will depart from and return to Little Marina Green, located just west of the Ft. Mason parking lot, corner of Marina Blvd and Buchanan

Join SF Bicycle Coalition member Tim Hurley on a family ride traversing Marina Green and Chrissy Field, then through the Presidio to the Golden Gate Bridge. The return trip follows the same course, so those who wish to visit the Discovery Museum can separate from the group and return on their own. Walking bikes up the hills is encouraged! Due to distance and hills, this ride is recommended for kids on 16" bikes and above, and not recommended for training wheels.

SF Bicycle Coalition recreational rides are free for SFBC members (a $5 donation from non-members is appreciated); rain cancels rides. Contact Tim at sonotimo@yahoo.com for more info.
