On May 11, 2024, SFCT’s Trails Program Manager Tim Rogers led over twenty cyclists on a tour of outlying murals, starting and ending at the Railyard Community Room. It was also a great excuse to visit lesser-known trails, alleys, and short cuts along the way! Here are some shots of the tour, click on photos for a larger view.
