It's easy to navigate southwest by bike once you know how far up or down you need to go on which hill. Tour some of our unfinished bikeways and missing connections with an outside-the-box look at the terrain, "paper streets", trails, and stairs. See how auto traffic has ruined all of the flat and direct routes and find a few precious places cars haven't taken over. We'll see one or two of the very rare parks with restrooms, and various transportation projects/issues, while generally avoiding most uphills and car traffic. If you don't turn when I turn, you may get lost. (We will see, but not ride the stairs or most trails.) Gather at 5:30 at Fulton Park, ride at 6, finish around 8. 12-ish mile loop, if we see it all, but you can bail near the start from several points in the middle. This will not be a fast or hard ride and nobody will be left behind. Note: sunset is shortly after the end. We'll try to cover at least 6-8 miles and may pause at food carts/beer or just stop at a store and finish the whole loop. Kids are welcome but will need to be passenger/stoker unless they are capable riding around traffic, okay with climbing, and can handle ~12mph comfortably.
