The group pedals through the city at a slow, welcoming pace appropriate for riders of all ages and capabilities. You get a chance to make new friends, learn new routes, and have fun on your bike! --Where?-- We'll meet at Dippy the Dino (on Forbes Ave in Oakland, in front of the Carnegie Museum of Natural History, across from the Cathedral of Learning). --When?-- We'll meet at 6pm and leave at 6:30pm. (Won't be off work in time? We'll post the route later so that you can catch up with us along the way.) --How long is the ride?-- Around 8-10 miles. --What's the route?-- TBA --Where does the ride end?-- TBA --What should I bring?-- Helmets. Lights. A bike to put those lights on. And all your friends! --What happens in the case of rain/snow/zombie apocalypse?-- On the afternoon of the ride, we'll decide whether conditions are safe enough to ride. Look for updates here, on Twitter, and on our website a couple of hours before the start of the ride if things are looking sketchy.

I might be there depending upon on I feel. I did over 9 miles today for the first time since October 12, but very slowly.

No promises, but I will try to be there. I am not encouraged by the pouring rain they are calling for in the morning. Looks like the afternoon ride will be more of a light drizzle.

If it's not a monsoon I'm going to be there, the temps are just too mild to not go. Bring your lights (and rain capes!)
