Scenic San Francisco Ride

Short Notice but I've been waiting for a hot day to schedule this ride and it looks like this Tuesday is date for which I've been waiting. It's going to be hot on Tuesday - even in the city. Lets try to stay cool by riding along the water front from the Ferry Building to Ocean Beach. Let's meet at ten, in the back of the ferry building, just outside Red Bay coffee. Our ride will take us along the embarcadero, just outside of the wharf area, around Fort mason, along Chrissy field, up to the GG bridge lookout, through part of the presidio, and finding our way to GG Park. Lunch at Java Beach Cafe across from Ocean Beach. On the way back, we'll stop at the rose garden in GG park and take the fun Wiggle, and people will either Bart back or take a ferry.
