Notes
2 hour ride, longer if we're having fun; have a big lunch beforehand, we'll stop somewhere for a snack. Rain cancels ride.
"Whether you're a Reid Brothers fan, a Richmond District history hound, or just fancy a nice ride around the neighborhood, come along on this non-athletic, non-academic architecture tour. From the turn of the 20th Century through its first few decades, James and Merritt Reid designed an impressive number of San Francisco's buildings, from theaters to hotels, office towers to townhouses, bandshells to barns. We'll take a look at nine of the Reids' Richmond District projects that help round out the collection (catch the third annual Reid Bros in SF ride on January 16)."
