11:00 am Route Orientation/Waivers

11:30 am Prompt Departure!!

Organizer (RSVP for Important Info)

Ride one of the most beautiful routes in the country and have intelligent conversation (it can't be helped) along the way. But wait - there's more... Food! We setup the schedule to have a leisurely lunch at Sam’s, a true Bay Area institution. And it's as easy as riding a bike.

Join us for the 11th Annual MITCNC bike trip for both the dedicated and the leisurely type bike riders. The route is about 15 miles. We'll be starting at Pier 41, going through the aquatic park, Fort Mason, Presidio Park, over the Golden Gate bridge, downtown Sausalito and then near the water all the way to Tiburon. Just about everyone should arrive in Tiburon by 2:30 leaving time for a leisurely lunch (self-hosted) on the patio at Sam’s before taking the 4:40 ferry back to Pier 41. The ferry ticket for adults is $9.00, for children $5.00.

To accommodate bikers of various skill levels, there will be two groups composed of "weekend warriors" and "recreational" bikers. Please indicate with your RSVP if you are interested in the “advanced” group who plan to go up through Corte Madera, Larkspur and Kentfield.

For those who don't have bikes, you can rent bikes and helmets at the Blazing Saddles store at Pier 41. Their phone number is (415) 202-8888 and their web page is http://www.bikethebridge.com. The bike rentals run around $28-$48 day depending on what type of bike you want. Relatively inexpensive parking in the area can be found at Pier 29, and Green and Embarcadero.

The MIT Club of Northern California and organizers do not assume any responsibility for any personal injuries or property damage suffered during this event. Cycling is a sport that has inherent risks. Each participant is entirely responsible for being aware of these risks and taking necessary precautions.

Every cyclist must wear a helmet. The following items will be useful during the bike ride: water bottles, sun block, snack food, money to spend along the way (e.g., at restaurants), sweater (to wear on the ferry ride back).
