Rides this week

Two social rides organized by others this week:

• Wednesday: Butterlap (7pm at the Ferry Building, a friendly 17 miles around the city with a few dozen people, mostly flat but two notable hills, Bender’s afterwards for a bit). [edit: was raining at 6pm, didn’t go]
• Friday: SF Bike Party (12-mile ultra-casual bike party with music, a few stops, and 400+ cyclists). This month, in Potrero/Dogpatch/Bayshore.

And this weekend, something more ambitious I’ve talked to a few of you about:

• Sunday: A 53-mile, quite hilly BART-to-BART East Bay ride (Berkeley, part of “Three Bears” loop, reservoirs, Port Costa, etc – several roads I’ve never biked on). Maybe a 9am start at the Berkeley BART, though I could be convinced to start later. [edit: looked like rain, postponed to next Sunday]
