Montesacro has an outdoor dining area where we will be able to keep our bikes nearby. But please bring a lock.
Meet at 5:15 PM with a 5:30 PM ride out.
Meet in front of the fare gates at Walnut Creek BART. Parking in the BART parking structure is free after 3 PM.
Please check the weather forecast and dress accordingly.
If you'd like to come to hang out and have dinner but not ride, please RSVP by sending us an email so we know the number attending.
Keep in mind that sunset will be at 7:15 PM. If you plan to ride home after the meal, be sure to bring lights.
Please register for this ride by Monday September 14 so that we can reserve a table for the group.
