A Folder-friendly event this Saturday at GG Park   Message List

Re: A Folder-friendly event this Saturday at GG Park

Just a reminder since Magnus and I are working the ID table. If you
intend to have beer or hang out in the beer/entertainment area you
need to have valid ID with you. So don't forget it just because
you're on a bike!

Probably the best way to get to GG Park from Caltrain 4th & King is to
go down Townsend (heading south) until you get to 7th St. Turn a
right up 7th St and follow the bike lane to Market St. Turn left onto
Market and follow it south up a hill and over some train tracks. You
can take the shortcut right after the train tracks that goes behind
Safeway (or if you miss it go to Church St in front of Safeway and
turn right). Then follow the "wiggle" until you get to Fell St (this
is basically a zig zag that avoids the hills, it's marked on the
road). Fell St is parallel to Market St. Turn left onto the Fell St.
bike lane and follow this into the panhandle park. You can ride
through the park instead of on Fell St, straight into GG Park. Follow
the main road through the park, past museum, pass the overpass and you
will see Speedway meadow on your left. If you can find Speedway
meadow it won't be that difficult to meet as it won't be busy yet at
that time.

If you need a map check out the SF bike map http://www.sfbike.org/?maps

The parade is a costumed ride (though it's not required), so it will
be a nice easy pace.

Hope to see you all there!

PS There will be free valet parking if you want to hang out after the
ride.

CalTrain ends up waaaay on the other side of town. We probably wouldn't be able to get to the 9am ride on time. Let's see who else is going and we'll work out...

Thanks Jean for the route. ... You are correct. I mapped it, 5.4miles, given uphills and stopping at lights, I'd guess 45mins bike, so if Caltrain arrives...

Wow! If the parade starts between 9:30 and 10:00, we're OK. It'll be fun to zip through the City on a Saturday morning. I'll probably take the same train as...
