Gals with Gears is a member-led group of the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition. The Gals lead monthly scenic rides geared towards women aged 50-plus-years young, although all riders are welcome.

Join the Gals for a ride from Golden Gate Park to Ocean Beach, down Great Highway to Sloat and return. We’ll show you a route, provide tips for riding in the city, and have a relaxing ride. Please arrive by 10:00 am for a 10:15 start.

Level: A
Distance: About 10 miles, generally flat.
Start and Finish: Behind the Bandshell in the Music Concourse in Golden Gate Park.

• We ride at a relaxed pace and won’t leave anyone behind.

• RSVP required. Helmet and basic riding skills required.

• We’ll ride on the road with and without a bike lane.

• Rain cancels. Will send a message via Meetup if we cancel to those who RSVP for this ride.

• Not had your bicycle out in a very long while? Please have it checked over by a bike mechanic to be sure it is safe and reliable.

• Bring your questions — Anything you want to know about biking? No question is too basic — probably other Gals will have the same question!
