The ride will start by all meeting up at Dolores Park at 19th street. We will take 17th to Harrison to learn about two sites in SOMA: Eagle Bar and Ringon Alley. Then we will take Folsom and Slow Shotwell to Wildhawk (previously "The Lex") via Valencia. For our last few stops, we'll head to the Castro via 17th to visit Queer Arts Featured and the Pink Triangle Memorial. Option to head back to Dolores for Pride Saturday, or Rikki's for some drinks!

Considering The Weather
We'll ride this event rain or shine. If the forecast is calling for severe weather that we think may lead to unsafe conditions then we'll cancel. We'll try our best to cancel 72 hours in advance based on the forecast but of course we may cancel with shorter notice in the event of unsafe conditions. In the event of rain, please remember:
- Go slower and remember it will take a further distance to come to a complete stop. You do not have the same braking traction in the rain.
- Give other riders and road users extra space.
- Bring rain gear! Riding in the rain can be a lot of fun. Installing fenders on your bike can help as can wearing waterproof footwear, rain pants, rain jacket or rain cape, and even weatherproof gloves and socks!
