At our next First Friday ride (October 4th) we're going to do a classic west side east side west side ride.

We will meet at Walnut Park (as usual) at 4:55 pm and ride over the pedestrian overcrossing known to some as "the catwalk," meander catlike past Miwok School, roll on some new pavement on Maria Drive, and slink back to The Block via the SMART multi-use pathway. Here's the likely route.

As always, rides are family-friendly, mostly flat, and 1 to 1-¼ hr. in duration. This one is around 8 miles in length.

Helmets required. Bike lights highly recommended!

No need to RSVP. Just show up. Check out the Safe Streets Petaluma website for more information.
