The feed names the park but gives no meeting spot; check the Meetup event. The ride lasts only as long as the sun does, so bring lights later in the year.

Bring
a helmet, front and rear lights (it's a dark-hours ride), water, a spare tube or patch kit, a way to pay for the stop.
Arrive
Ten or fifteen minutes before 6:00 pm. Tell whoever's leading that you're new.
Pace
Three groups, split by speed. It splits into pace groups. Pick the slowest one your first time; you can move up next week.

I do the miles. You decide who they’re for.

In 2027 I ride 10,000 miles, all on the bike, every one of them for queer communities. You pledge a few cents a mile and pick which org it goes to. It starts January 1.
