Times and locations for departure and return are subject to last-minute changes. So be sure to check this specific event description on Meetup before you leave that day.
Because of the layout and distance of this ride we may not have time to wait for riders who have issues physical endurance, navigation, or mechanical failure. If needed we can wait or look for you but not more than once or twice. In most cases we can pitch in and fix a flat tire or loose chain for you. But for anything else you might need to get non-EBIKETREKS/Bike the Bay assistance. So make sure your bike is in tiptop shape. Please be prepared in advance for a friend or family to drive up and provide assistance to you if you get stuck or lost. Sorry, but the trip leaders are NOT responsible for getting you home safely.
