Ride Profile

Ride Description

Moderate - Its' San Francisco..there will be HILLS!.   The route will take you from the Bay.. to the Marina.. To the Presidio, to the Pacific, inland to the bay and back up.  A rather invovled route. 

Use caution, the roads in and around hunters point (Candlestick Park) 3rd St. and Cesar Chavez have been under construction for a long time.  They are active roads but they have a ton of patching, lose gravel, metal road covers and things of that nature.  Just use common sense and you'll be okay.
