For visitors

SMBC's Wednesday ride page says non-members are welcome and asks for a signed waiver at the start; this event page doesn't repeat it. The 31-mile group was on hold for the summer and was due back in October.

First time on this ride? Here’s the drill
Bring
a helmet, water, a spare tube or patch kit, a way to pay for the stop.
Arrive
Ten or fifteen minutes before 8:30 am. Tell whoever's leading that you're new.
Pace
The easiest pace the host lists is 12–14 mph: steady — you'll breathe hard on the hills. It splits into pace groups. Pick the slowest one your first time; you can move up next week.
Check
Look at the host's website the day of — that's where cancellations, weather calls and start changes get posted.

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.
