Roaming Yosemite Slough and Candlestick Point

One aspect of Roaming Zen for me is to set foot in neighbourhoods which we might not otherwise think about visiting, to find the beauty and interest there.

There is a new one-way roam on Saturday 10th, to Yosemite Slough and Candlestick Point. I have been riding around this area a certain amount recently, and found not only a relatively under-used portion of the Bay Trail, but also expanses of waterside open space that are fairly neglected.

We will meet at the Bayview Library, on 3rd St at Revere, and end at the Arleta stop of the T streetcar (which is also close to Bayshore Caltrain and the #8 bus). This is very flat, and there will be some off-roading.

This part of town is also home to some grimy industrial streets, and a number of RV dwellers, so be mindful of this.

Bringing water, snacks, and layers for all the microclimates is the way to go.

Roams over the winter months are somewhat weather dependent, and this may get rescheduled depending on the forecast. I will send an email to everyone who has signed up if we have to postpone or cancel.

These roams are offered by donation. They are one way I am able to pay my rent in San Francisco.

Punctuality is always appreciated. Please send a message on the app if you are running a little late. I can usually respond to messages before we get underway, but then I won't be checking my phone. Meetup has now added a "share location" feature, so you will be able to catch up.

I know Meetup is notorious for no-shows and late changes of rsvp. I am not as strict as other organisers (we do talk to each other!), but I do track those who regularly drop off or no-show, and have disinvited several people with dismal attendance records, as it is discourteous for others who would like to attend.
