May. 28 | 11:15am pushoff | Meet at Mechanic’s Institute Library, Post at Montgomery
“Ride through the literary history of San Francisco. Tour neighborhoods as varied as North Beach and the Mission while learning facts, tid-bits, and heresy about the City’s writerly past. Be prepared to meet some authors along the way. Expect a two-hour, fairly easy-going ride (minimal hills!). Eat beforehand, but time permitting (and desired) we will stop in a coffeehouse for refueling.
