[San Francisco, US] East (New York) vs West (San Francisco) Group Ride 01/18 - 01/19

Super late posting this but if anybody’s in the Bay Area or can get here for a weekend…

Flyer%20-%20Facebook

Estimated participation 50+ people just from Cali, plus the New York crew is flying 10+ of their finest out to NorCal for the group ride of a lifetime. Possibly even bigger than the brands ride we did last year!

We’re getting ready to take over the streets and ride all day!

Meeting place is the Exploratorium on Pier 15 on the Embarcadero at 1PM on Saturday, January 19th. The route involves fast downhills, steep uphills, and 25 miles+ of pure eskating bliss. Prepare your butts boards. Mark yourself as going if you can at this Event Link: https://www.facebook.com/events/359479988145750/

There’s also a speed demons run at 6PM at the Pier 1 Starbucks for speed freaks who wanna ride fast and explore the city in good company. We’re taking a concat’ed route around the piers then zigzagging through the city for some nighttime fun. Not for the slow.

Hope to see y’all out there!

Dayum Speed demons ride could be as good as it could be a fail. I’ve been to a couple of them that make me wish I didn’t go that day! Let’s hope we have a good one this Friday :ok_hand:t3:

I wish this wasn’t planned for the same weekend as the Barret Junction. I’ve already committed to driving down to San Diego for the Barret Junction.

Would love to join this group ride, but eskate race history? :stuck_out_tongue:

Damn of course I have to be away this weekend :frowning: hopefully I can go to the next one.

I have a Stealth with two extended range batteries if you wanna come but need a board to borrow…

I appreciate the offer! That’s very kind of you. Already picked up an overtime shift for both my days off this weekend to pay for all these parts I’ve been ordering :sweat_smile: Thanks anyways!

fwiw a couple unnamed people are abandoning junction just to attend this also historic ride :wink:

It’s tempting. It would give me a powder day tomorrow. instead of 10 hours of driving. haha

But I’ve been super hyped about this event for months. No turning back now!

Does anyone know the ride well enough to recommend street wheels or AT tires? Thanks

Just depend on the board if it’s a evolve il recommend 97s wheels but if you have diy build you should be fine with AT

It’s up to your personal preference at this point. That battery will be fine with good settings

Weather looks OK on Friday so the streets should dry out, weather looks OK on Saturday for the ride at 60 degrees.
