Cyclists conquer 200 miles of Russian River terrain for SF child abuse prevention charity

A group of bicyclists got to pedaling recently as they rode over 100 miles in each direction along the Russian River in Sonoma and Mendocino counties to raise money for San Francisco-based nonprofit Safe & Sound.

Twelve riders began their journey for Safe & Sound’s 11th annual Russian River Ride on Sept. 8 at the nonprofit’s Waller Street location in the city’s Cole Valley neighborhood. A thirteenth cyclist joined the ride on the way back.
