<B>Ready to try out your first SF2G</B>? Want to make sure you get there in one piece and without getting lost? Join us for one of our no-drop First Friday Friendly Frolic rides! <B>They happen the first friday of every month... easy!</B>
<P>
No-rider-left-behind rides are a pretty consistent weekly tradition in these parts, but we figured a monthly "for sure" ride would reduce confusion and encourage more newbies to ride. So now it's here.
<P>
<B>Details</B>:
<UL>
<LI>meetup point: either <A HREF="http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&um=1&ie=UTF-8&q=Ritual+Coffee+Roasters&fb=1&cid=0,0,4685423124498215403&near=San+Francisco,+CA&oi=manybox&ct=10&cd=1&resnum=2">Ritual Roasters</A> OR <A HREF="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=3101+24th+st.+94110&sll=37.766483,-122.413358&sspn=0.0707,0.147457&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=3101+24th+St,+San+Francisco,+California+94110&t=h&z=16 ">Philz</A> in the sunny Mission. Please watch the <A HREF="http://groups.google.com/group/sf2g">SF2G list</A> for the current week's announcement!
<LI>time: order coffee @ 06:15, depart 06:30
<LI>pace: <A HREF="ride-styles.html">Style III</A>, that is, casual, maybe about 15mph, but slower as-needed; no one gets dropped!
<LI>route: the famous <A HREF="bayway.html">bayway</A>
<LI>mirth: yes
<LI>arrival in mt. view area: ~9:45
<LI>getting home: <A HREF="partycar.html">the partycar!</A>
</UL>
If this is the first time you have ridden more than 20 miles in recent memory, we recommend an abbreviated first try. Try <A HREF="millbway.html">Millbway</A> -- take BART to Millbrae, skip the hills, and cut the ride down to ~30 miles. If you plan to do this, shoot an email to the list so we know to look for you.
<P>
If you feel confident you can ride 42 miles, then by all means join us. Please make sure your bike is prepared -- have a look at our <A HREF="prep.html">bike prep page</A>.
<P>
<B>Recommendations:</B>
<UL>
<LI>bring food -- at least one powerbar or whatever you fancy (you WILL get hungry around 30 miles in! very hungry!)
<LI>bring at least one water bottle (you can fill up at the coffeehouse and again later at the San Mateo drinking fountain/restroom stop)
<LI>wear real bike shorts with padding (chamois)
<LI>consider clip-in pedals -- you will be much more efficient
<LI>know how to change a flat, or at least ride with someone who does (<A TARGET=NEW HREF="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Tm1wewekVQ">how-to video</A>)
</UL>
That's about it. Come on down and ride with us, we're nice!
