Both groups should arrive in Tiburon by 1:30 to 2 pm, leaving time for a leisurely lunch (self-hosted). The following options are available (all within a few doors from where we will be parking our bikes).

Sam's Cafe: an outside patio ($$)
Guaymas's Restaurant (Mexican, nice outside patio) ($$)

Please note that we will be arriving during the lunch rush (count on at least 1 hour to get lunch completed). If you are running late (e.g., mechanical problems causing you to arrive late and are concerned about missing the ferry), the following lunch options are available:

Waypoint pizza (they sell pizza by the slide) ($)
Caffee Acri (they sell packed sandwiches) ($)

We will be aiming to taking the 2:40 pm ferry (the next ferry is at 4:40 pm). The ferry ticket for adults is $12.50, for children $7.50. Ferry schedule can be found in: www.blueandgoldfleet.com/ferry/tiburon/

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 www.blazingsaddles.com/. The bike rentals run around $32-$80 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. There are several parking apps where you can reserve parking in parking garages and check out prices (e.g., www.parkingpanda.com/fisherman-s-wharf-san-francisco-parking# and others).
