Ride from Brickyard Cove to Richmond Marina, break, and return

This is a fun, easy ride, up the Bay Trail to the Richmond Marina. We follow the trail from Brickyard Cove up to Gilman St., then hug the Bay while we ride behind Golden Gate Fields, and go up and down our one big hill. Then we follow the Bay Trail, up to El Cerrito, hugging the Bay at Costco, and find our way up to Richmond Marina, (hugging the Bay, :) Regroup at Rosie the Riveter,and some of us continue riding to Pt. Richmond, others of us go straight for the coffee break, at a nearby cafe. After the break, we retrace our route, to Brickyard Cove. If you've have made it to the Seabreeze Cafe at the corner of University and Frontage Road, you are almost there. Continue across the unpaved parking lot and you will find us in the paved parking lot for the new park - Brick Yard Cove.

FWG Hikes Lands End

Hey Family, this week we're back at one of my favorite hikes, The Land's end trail. We are swtching up from the bike ride, but if you prefer to ride this is also a great bike ride to and across the golden gate bridge. With stops at Baker Beach and a labyrinth, The California Coastal Trail runs from the Cliff House near the Sutro Baths all the way to the Golden Gate Bridge. The hike is around 8 miles to the Golden Gate Bridge and back. We will meet at the Lands End Lookout parking lot overlooking the Sutro Baths. We will Start at 8:30am sharp after a good stetch, so please be on time.

Grand View and Strawberry

**A reminder that there will not be any more roams in September as I will be busy with zen ceremonies and activities.** I have had this route in mind for a while. If you are looking south from the Richmond, just west of Park Presidio, there are only really two hills you see: one is Strawberry Hill in the park, the other Grand View at the northern end of Golden Gate Heights. We will tackle both hills (roughly numbers 10 and 20 in the list of San Francisco summits) on our way round; admire the tiled staircases; enjoy Blue Heron lake and the park; and explore a couple of alleys in the neighbourhood - which are very rare in the Sunset. Naturally there will be some climbing on this roam! *Bringing water, snacks, and layers for all the microclimates is the way to go.* *These roams are offered by donation. They are one way I am able to pay my rent in San Francisco.* *Punctuality is always appreciated, for the sake of everybody's time. Please send a message on the app before the start if you are running late, and we will either wait (up to ten minutes) of I will direct you on how to catch up. Once we get underway I have to focus on those who are there, and most likely won't respond.* *Generally half the people who sign up don't actually show up on the day. I do track flakiness and remove people who have a poor attendance record. It is discourteous to those on the waitlist who would like to attend.* *Sending me a message explaining that you can't make it is always appreciated.*
