7th Annual Steeplechase (Tomorrow!) ~ ExGld
Hello Explorers!
This is a friendly reminder for all of you planning to join us tomorrow, Saturday May 25th, for Steeplechase: the event is TOMORROW (YAY)!
The details are once again shared below but I’m highlighting two important details.
If you are planning to join mid-adventure, I highly suggest jumping on the #0525-steeplechase Slack channel. We’ll be updating our progress on that channel throughout the day, so this is the best way to keep tabs on the event or ask where we are currently.
We’ll be attempting the elusive 4th carousel, behind the SF Zoo paywall. In the past, Steeplechase has ended at the carousel in Golden Gate park but we figure once a decade we should try the 4th one. It’s ok if you aren’t able to do this last stretch, but for those of you who are attempting it, we look forward to riding into legend with you.
Steeplechase Details:
Where: Starts at Pier 39 Carousel
When: Saturday, May 25th at 10am. Explorers can come and go throughout the day, for those wanting to do the classic circuit, we’ll likely be wrapping up at Golden Gate Park around 1:30, and those viewing for the quadruple crown we’ll likely be wrapping around 3 at SF Zoo.
What to bring: Snacks/lunch, water, Muni transit pass, cash for carousel tickets ($14 per adult for the three carousels, $18 for the four). Zoo admission is extra. Lastly we ask that you trot out your finest carousel-worthy fashion (those jauntiest of jaunty hats!) for this extraordinary Explorer tradition (though don’t fret too much about this).
