Welcome Meet Up - Day Before, Friday September 12th, 5pm-7pm
We will be hosting a casual welcome meet up the day before the ride on September 12th from 5pm-7pm at Presidio Sports Basement (Presidio Sports Basement, 610 Old Mason St, San Francisco, CA 94129). Come by to get your free water bottle, pick up your jersey if you ordered one, and meet your fellow riders! Additionally this year we are so grateful for our 22 sponsors who have free treats available as well.
Routes
The 2025 Bay Ride Route is now finalized! Thank you for everyone’s feedback, please keep it coming after this year’s ride so we can continue to make this an even more safe, fun ride for everyone.
We recommend using Ride With GPS as the turn by turn directions and cue sheets are easier to use than Strava, but Strava works too.

Post Ride Celebration - Burritos, Beer and Beats!
You’re going to be hungry after all that riding so we’ve partnered with El Toro Taqueria (one of my favs in SF) for a free burrito at the end of the ride. Please one per person as we’ll have limited quantities. Additionally Ripple Beer Project has created a fresh new beer for the Bay Ride! If you’re interested in a NA beer, both Athletic Brewery and Best Day Brewery have you covered.
