This is always a great day out so expect a good group!
Summer is here!!! So why not join Urban Diversion on a beautiful bike
ride on Angel Island? Also, often referred to as the "Jewel of the San
Francisco Bay". Why bike over the Golden Gate Bridge, why bike in
Marin, or Mt. Tamalpais when you can bike on this little Island and see
them all! Urban Diversion are seeing this magnificent landmark in a way
no other method can compare to.
This
gem of the California State Park system offers panoramic vistas of the
entire Bay, sightseers will enjoy picture-postcard views of the Golden
Gate Bridge, San Francisco Skyline, Marin, and Mt. Tamalpais. On a
clear day the island is referred to as a 5 bridge day, when from the
top of Mt. Livermore hikers can view the Golden Gate, Bay, Richmond/San
Rafael, San Mateo and the Dumbarton bridges.
This event will prove to you why biking is the best way to see the Island and the Bay Area.

rent a bike from the bike store next door.

Note: You can Hike this trail also, if you don't want to bike. Difficulty: This ride is 13 miles with some moderate hills. We will follow mostly bike trails. If you have never rode a bike before, this would be a perfect place to learn (aka beginner bikers welcome!), as our pace will be fairly slow with stops and snacks.
