Sonoma County Bicycle Coalition Rides in partnership with SCM’s exhibit:
September 23rd: Meet at 5:00 p.m on the South A Street end of Juilliard Park for a tour of Downtown Santa Rosa’s public art installations. This 3 mile jaunt will depart promptly and end at the museum’s special members-only preview reception. Not a museum member? That’s OK – if you arrive by bike, the museum will admit non-members to this private event for just $5. SCBC will provide valet bicycle parking at the museum from 5:00 until 7:30 p.m.
September 24th: Streamers and Spokes Free Family Day at the Museum (11 a.m. – 2p.m.). Meet in front of the Museum at noon, for a 3 mile loop that will tour Downtown Santa Rosa’s public art installations before returning to the museum. Sonoma County Bicycle Coalition’s Safe Routes to School program will be on site that day to provide information about Walk & Roll to School Day.
October 15th: The Tweed Ride in honor of bike commuter Luther Burbank. Don your wooly knickers and other jaunty period togs and meet up at the museum at 10:00 a.m. for a coffee and pastry reception. From there, Sonoma County Bicycle Coalition Executive Director, Gary Helfrich, will lead you on a leisurely 16-mile out-and-back along the Joe Rodota Trail to Burbank’s Gold Ridge Farm in Sebastopol. Helfrich and the museum’s Eric Stanley will share stories and facts that will help you imagine how the route looked when Burbank rode it back and forth between the Farm and Burbank Gardens in Santa Rosa, all those years ago.
TBA: The Builders Tour. Sonoma County Bicycle Coalition Outreach Director, Sandra Lupien, leads a bike tour of the shops of some of Santa Rosa’s custom bike builders. More details to come, but plan to meet at the Museum at 12:30 p.m.
Children under 18 must be accompanied by a responsible adult and are required by law to wear helmets. We recommend helmets for all riders, and require all riders to sign a liability waiver.
