Ole sent out a note on this yesterday, but I thought I'd post it here too:
quote:August 17 Bike the Strait: Secrets of the Strait Revealed - The closed section of the Carquinez Strait Scenic Drive will be opened specially for this guided bicycle ride from historic Port Costa to the restored marshlands of the Martinez Regional Shoreline. The trip will include a brief talk on the natural history and man-made features of the area, including information about the conversion of the Carquinez Scenic Drive from an abandoned roadway to a dedicated bicycle/pedestrian trail. Spectacular views during a hilly 12-mile ride. Not recommended for children. Helmets required; reservations suggested. Lunch and live music at the Warehouse Caf� after the ride. Meet in Port Costa, in the parking lot at the end of Canyon Lake Drive (in front of Warehouse Caf�). From 10 am to 12 noon. RSVP appreciated but not required. For information, call David Lipsetz at 510-464-7915.
There's a write up in today's SF Chronicle on this ride. The article starts on page B1, and is continued (with photos) on B2. Nice aricle and coverage. The online version is also available with color photos.
