This Saturday's ride is 30 miles, with a pace in the 12-16mph range.

There is a 20 mile optional ride with a 10-14mph pace. 

We'll have maps at the ride start. Be sure to check your email in the morning before you leave for last minute ride updates.

Cheers! Cindy

This is technically the first ride of the series (since last week got rained out). Future rides will increase in mileage. These rides are listed in the pedlpushers calendar, and on the websites for Valley Spokesmen, LUNA Chix, and Velo Girls.

Saturday's ride will start at Donlon School in Pleasanton.  The school
will not be open to us, but the school is located next to Val Vista
park.  The park is at Denker and Payne - just behind the school.  You
may park your car at the park and ride over to the parking lot of the
school on Dorman if you need to use the facilities before we ride.  I
have included the link to Yahoo maps below, so you can see the proximity
of things.  Just be ready to ride at 9am.  As you arrive, please find me
and sign the release form, get a map, ask questions, etc. and we will
split into riding levels before we leave. We need to ride in groups of
30 or less, so as not to be a big nuisance on the road. If you are
unsure about your speed - you can go in a faster group and if you cannot
keep up the pace, you can drop back to the next group coming behind us.
These rides are designed for road bikes, so I encourage you to come with
a road bike - If you can keep up with the pace on fat tires - more power
to you!!!  Please be courteous of the neighbors when looking for a
parking space, if the lots are filled.
Still hoping for dry weather - rain cancels.  Check for weather updates
on Friday night and I will post again early Saturday morning - don't
call my house looking for a weather report.  I have young children and a
husband who enjoy sleeping in on Saturdays!! 
Just a few more reminders for ride day:
1.  Bring a bike in good working order
2.  Wear a helmet that fits properly
3.  Bring water and energy food
4.  Make sure you have Identification on you while riding 5.  Make sure
you have a pump and spare tube(s) for flats 6.  Stop at all lights and
stop signs - if the person(s) in front of you runs a light or sign - use
your own judgement if you want to follow; the consequences could be
tragic 7.  When someone in your group has a flat or problem and needs to
stop, everyone in the group stops. 
These are just a few basics to follow that will make your ride more
enjoyable.  See you on Saturday.

Thanks, Bekki Livingston
