For our first ride I am thinking we should just get together and go on a shorter ride that is mellow and no intimidating to anybody that may be new to riding with other people. The ride will be on the Burke Gilman Trail.
Before the ride I plan to go over some safety tips as well as some mechanical stuff. I will be available to ANY rider who experiences some sort of trouble (IE a flat tire, seat adjustment, etc).
I have created a "map my ride" page for the ride so you can see the details of the ride. Those details are located at:
