Saturday night biking?

Saturday night at about 9pm...I drove by a group of a dozen-or-so bicyclers in front of the Nob Hill shopping plaza where La Montanita coop is. Looks like they were departing to continue a Nob Hill-area ride. Anyone know who they were? Looked like fun.

There's an entry fee - about $5 or 10 - and at each stop, they hand out a poker card. At the end of the night, whoever has the best hand wins the pot.; ▶ Reply to This
