The Tour de Fat once again comes to San Francisco on Saturday, September 25. Join us at Lindley Meadow (**new location**) in Golden Gate Park for music, fanciful entertainment, contests, art displays and, of course, New Belgium's Fat Tire Ale and other brews.

FREE BEER!

Here's your chance to practice drawing the perfect pint - and be rewarded with free beer! Dozens of volunteers are needed for a variety of tasks and shifts throughout the day to help make Tour de Fat a success!

All volunteers receive a Tour de Fat t-shirt, beer token, Ridge Trail pin, our deep and sincere gratitude and more Ridge Trail to ride or hike on!

Ballyhoo Benefits Two Great Organizations

Proceeds benefit the Bay Area Ridge Trail and the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition. Last year the Tour raised ~$30,000 for the Council and SFBC, and over the past 7 years has raised tens of thousands more to help complete the Ridge Trail and improve cycling in San Francisco.
