Ride Classique: San Francisco — Weekend Itinerary

Two days around San Francisco — October 22–24, 2026 — of riding, connection, and community in support of The Phoenix. Here's the weekend at a glance. Exact start and finish locations are shared with registered riders.

Join us for the Thursdays Cycling Club weekly ride with a lap of Hawk Hill. This ride is open to everyone. There will be multiple regrouping points before we convene at Mattina SF post-ride for cookies and coffee — and a few special guests. The only way to find out who is to show up.

Note: This is a good option if you want extra miles, or if you have friends or family who want to enjoy a great ride and learn more about Thursdays.cc and The Phoenix but did not commit to fundraising. This is the only community event during the weekend open to those who did not meet the fundraising minimum.

A relaxed ride before our kick-off dinner. You'll be joined by Phoenix members as well as the pros. The pace will be casual before tomorrow's big ride.

A catered dinner at an intimate venue just north of the Golden Gate, provided by Chef and Cyclist Matt Accarrino, owner of Mattina SF and SPQR. Hear firsthand from those whose lives have changed through Phoenix programs while mingling with the pros and enjoying a chance to win some incredible raffle items donated by our sponsors.

An exclusive, donor-only, fully supported ride with two route options on the most beautiful roads in the Bay just north of the Golden Gate. You'll be joined by current and former professional cyclists and other special guests. The ride includes:

• Complimentary coffee and pastries at the start
• SAG support
• Experienced domestiques to make sure you're never alone out on the road
• A fully stocked mid-ride rest stop

A post-ride celebratory meal and closing ceremonies hosted at the beautiful home of one of our generous donors.
