Fall 2020 Recap

Despite the many challenges 2020 brought us, the biggest highlight of the year was the launch of SF Bakery Ride.
What started as a small idea during a car ride, turned into something much bigger. A program that brought together a community of pastry enthusiasts and cyclists around the Bay Area to do two things: ride bikes and eat bread.
In just three short months, together we hit a number of milestones and exceeded expectations on goals. Here’s a quick snapshot of what went down in 2020.
