After the Ride
Getting Back
The 35 finishes in Oakland, and the 135 is a loop back to the Presidio. BART, the ferry, a rideshare with bike space, or a friend with a rack: pick your way home before you roll out.

Packet Pickup
3:00 to 8:00 PM
Sports Basement Presidio, 610 Old Mason St, San Francisco →Come by any time in the window, check in, and walk out with your hangtag and any swag we are holding for you. Everyone checks in themselves, so bring your whole group. Friday is by far the easier of the two options.
