Plus optional bakery (Liguria in North Beach and Noe Valley Bakery)
and lunch (El Toro Taqueria in the Mission) stops!    Riders are
encouraged to join at any point on the route. I will be posting
directions and an elevation profile soon. I will come up with
ride-arounds for the toughest hills not sure if I can make it up a
grade > 25% myself!) Forward this message to anyone you think might
want to participate.

Thanks much to Frank Yeean Chan, John Murphy and Low-Key Hill Climb's
own Dan Connelly and Cara Coburn for patient, detailed advice.
