Our next meet‑up is October 10th at 2 pm, hosted by SF Urban Riders, an organization dedicated to expanding off‑road cycling opportunities and building a city‑wide trail network where people of all ages and abilities can experience nature by bike.
SF Urban Riders traverse the trails at Laguna Honda Open Space
We’ll gather at the Laguna Honda Community Trail System for a relaxed afternoon outdoors, starting with a walking site tour led by SF Urban Riders. It’s a chance to see firsthand how thoughtful trail design and stewardship support both riders and the broader community.
Come early if you’d like: You’re also invited to join SF Urban Riders’ monthly trail and habitat stewardship event at 9 am that same morning. It’s a great way to get hands‑on with the space before the meet‑up.
