We are a loosely organized volunteer group planning a series of accessible, non-competitive rides though urban San Francisco to give people a taste of every-day biking in the city.

This meetup offers two meetup activities, each of which I enjoy greatly and look forward to sharing time outdoors with others who come to these meetup events. The first is organizing these non-competitive social triathlons described below.  A second activity is organizing longer trail runs in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Social Triathlons! After doing a few competitive triathlons myself, a friend gave me the idea to create my own friends based, non competitive, "social" triathlon events. Unlike re …

I'm starting this group for SF-based riders who want to share rides to various trails (e.g. Tamarancho, China Camp, Annadel, Skeggs, Wilder Ranch, Henry Coe, etc.), mostly for weekend rides, but I would also like to do some group after-work weekday evening or night rides in the area.

This group is for intermediate to advanced cross-county riders to get together for some great rides and mountain biking trips. I want to keep the rides small, as I don't really enjoy going on rides with large groups of riders.   People joining this group should be established riders with a good fitness level and an average technical riding ability. People will not be dropped on rides, but I also don't want people to have to wait excessively long periods of time for beginners.  With all that said …
