SFBC Monthly Good Roads Ride – Smooth Ride edition
"Join us for a slightly different Good Roads ride in December - we're calling it the "Smooth Ride". We'll take a look at some of the freshest pavement all over the City - with many spots the result of direct volunteer efforts and SFBC advocacy. We'll still carry some spray chalk in case we find some pesky crumbling pavement to circle and report to 311, but we will focus on having fun, and surveying the smoothest roads in 2009. As always, we’ll end the ride with drinks and lunch."
