Saturday I organized a third “SF Bicycle Dumpling Tour“ (year 1: friends, year 2: public) for about 50 people. Good food, weather, and a casual 15-mile bike ride around the city, with a few hills….

A few photos I took or people on the ride sent me:

Pork and chive dumplings arriving in the park by bike:

For the $10 registration fee (definitely a zero-profit endeavor) you got all the dumplings you could eat, a low-tech copy-and-paste ride booklet (map, directions, trivia, and a dumpling recipe), and some useful tools…

Chowing down. We decimated 100 soup dumplings in under 5 minutes (by far my favorites— I think we should get at least twice as many next year).

Two of us even brought our own sauce (mine was tamari, sesame oil, whole chiles, ginger, vinegar, a little cayenne), and a few people brought plates or their own nicer chopsticks:

The final set of orders we called in. 740 dumplings. 740! Last year we only bought about 500. If the group grows in size next year, maybe we can hit *1,000 dumplings*.
