Roaming Cayuga and Lakeview

I am very fond of this under-appreciated part of the city, and we have been roaming here for many years. On recent visits we have added [Sisterhood Gardens](https://sisterhoodgardens.org/) to the route, as they have a dahlia display probably only second to the collection in Golden Gate Park. While we are close to the freeway for much of the route, we will also be visiting some sweet lesser-known parks and viewpoints in this south west corner of the city. There will be a significant climb in the middle of the roam, and some off-roading. *Bringing water, snacks, and layers for all the microclimates is the way to go.* *These roams are offered by donation. They are one way I am able to pay my rent in San Francisco.* *Punctuality is always appreciated, for the sake of everybody's time. Please send a message on the app before the start if you are running late, and we will either wait (up to ten minutes) of I will direct you on how to catch up. Once we get underway I have to focus on those who are there, and most likely won't respond.* *Generally up to half the people who sign up don't actually show up on the day. I do track flakiness and disinvite people who have a poor attendance record. It is discourteous to those on the waitlist who would like to attend.* *Sending me a message explaining that you can't make it is always appreciated.*

Gilman Brewing Albany Waterfront Run

*When we were East Bay Beer Runners, the last visit to Gilman Brewing was March 2019. It's been a long 7+ years since the last visit, but we will finally be back at the Berkeley flagship shot as Oakland Beer Runners. Let's go!* We will meet at Gilman Brewing Company at their West Berkeley flagship spot. We will run roughly 3.5 miles on the SF Bay Trail through Golden Gate Fields and to Albany Waterfront Park (which can be shorten to a 5k), and then we will return back to the brewery for beers and food (such as Detroit-inspired pizza, wings, and fries). PLEASE NOTE -- Dogs are prohibited inside the building, but they are permitted at the outside patio space and must be leashed. **Run route** 3.5 miles -- https://www.mapmyrun.com/routes/view/6741554401/ The meeting time is at 6:30pm, but we don't typically start our run until 6:40pm. There is typically plenty of free street parking available near the brewery. North Berkeley BART Station is located less than 1.8 miles away. We will have the back event space for our group and as an official storage area for bags. Like all runs, we will do our best to prevent people from getting lost (QR code and/or verbal directions provided beforehand), and we are flexible when it comes to pace and distance. All levels of running and drinking experience are welcome! **Venue details** Website -- https://gilmanbrew.com/ Instagram -- https://www.instagram.com/gilmanbrewing Untappd -- https://untappd.com/GilmanBrewing yelp -- https://www.yelp.com/biz/gilman-brewing-company-berkeley-berkeley **Obligatory Disclaimer:** While the goal of this group is to have fun, safety is our top priority. Please take precaution when participating on these runs - wear bright colors when running at night, always be aware of your surroundings, and do not drink and drive. Again, we strive for safety, but the organizers of this meetup are not held liable for anything that happens.

A Walk Through Oakland's Best Flower Gardens & Great Views Too!

THIS WALK USED TO BE A HARD ONE, BUT ON JUNE 20th I LED AN EASIER VERSION AND WAS SURPRISED WE HAD TIME NEAR THE WALK'S END AT LAKE MERRIT PARK WHICH COULD GIVE US TIME TO ENJOY THE 13 FREE FLOWER GARDENS THERE! IN THIS LATEST VERSION I CHANGED THE STARTING TIME SO WE CAN ENJOY THE 13 GARDENS FOR OVER AN HOUR. BELOW IS A LINK ABOUT THE 13 GARDENS; [https://gardensatlakemerritt.org/](https://gardensatlakemerritt.org/) TO SHOW HOW GREAT THIS WALK IS NOW HERE ARE LINKS TO THE PHOTOS TAKEN THE LAST 2 TIMES WE DID THIS WALK: OUR JUNE 20TH WALK HAS 60 PHOTOS: https://www.meetup.com/walking-in-sf/photos/36041892/534856033/ OUR JULY 11TH WALK HAS 43 PHOTOS: https://www.meetup.com/walking-in-sf/photos/36073605/535197837/ FREE WALK. Now open for RSVPs. All of the flower gardens are free too!. We will meet at 10:30 AM in front of a cafe called Tierra Mia Coffee, on the corner of Broadway & 20th Street, so people on BART should go to the 19th Street BART Station and then they should exit at the 20th Street exit and our starting point is right across the street. One may bring a sack lunch or buy one at Tierra Mia Coffee. We won't have time for the group to buy lunches after we have started walking. It would be good if our attendees buy drinks or something at our starting point (Tierra Mia Coffee) &/or give tips so they will like us. Attendance limit is 70. Below is a link about Tierra Mia Coffee: http://www.tierramiacoffee.com/ At 10:40 AM we begin a 20-minute walk to the local Whole Foods Market for a restroom break. We plan to eat lunch about Noon at Oakland's Morcom Rose Garden. I encourage all to take BART or other public transportation to be safer. I expect to come in a bus. Everyone should bring water, paper towels and a map. I love it when attendees bring cameras and upload their photos of the walk on our webpage. Dogs and other pets are not welcome. After Whole Foods Market we will walk to the Morcom Rose Garden to eat our sack lunches. This walk used to be a hard one and now it is easier and full of beautiful flowers in the Morcom Rose Garden and the Lake Merritt Gardens. We expect to end at our starting point, the 19th Street BART Station at 4:00 PM.
