The Route
This is a classic city loop for those who want to build up an appetite before our DIFFERENT SPOKES Annual Club Picnic in president Stephen's back yard garden. Note, there will be someone from the club at the ride-out to gather any potluck items or extra clothing that you want taken to the BBQ.
We'll meet at Jane Warner Plaza, a little later than usual, but with plenty low time to make it to the picnic. Then take a circuitous route through the city to get to the bridge. I like to stop at La Stazione which is a few blocks off route, but a great place to fuel up with some espresso. Then "around the horn" aka the Embarcadero to the bridge for a quick stop at For Point for the view and the restrooms.
After that we continue around the coast until we get to Sloat, and then cut back to Vicente. The route takes us up Ulloa which gets pretty steep although only for a block or so. Folks can detour over to Portola to avoid that if they want. Then it is up and over Twin Peaks and back down to Stephen's place.

Sweeps: Yes. Regroups may happen as riders wish, and you can always just wait for the sweep, but faster riders should feel free to ride at their own pace.
