Make Bike Party amazing! Come to the Volunteer Meeting!
January 5th, 2010
Come out for an amazing and friendly evening of bike chat and sweet learning!
Amber & Ben loving the meeting
Bike Party’s monthly volunteer meetings are where it all happens, and where we need YOU to step up to make it even better. Routes get planned and arranged on amazing test rides, but every other part of this unbelievable phenomenon is planned and discussed at meetings – fun ones, at that, full of wonderful bike people!
This month’s meeting is Wednesday, January 6th at 6:45pm at the centrally-located Sophisto Society!
Bike Partier Tim will teach us how to make affordable small sound systems that can go on ANY bike (no trailer needed!) with painless non-technical set-up!
We’ll discuss how to plan “bonus” rides and other events and we’ll get updates on bike events and news around the valley.
See the entire agenda as a PDF!
Most importantly, we’ll hang out and have fun with other wonderful volunteers and figure out ways to make all of our fun crazy ideas happen!

***UPDATE***
Directions for today’s test ride.
TURN BY TURN DIRECTIONS for Jan 9th
What are your New Years Resolutions? Smaller hills than the first ride?
- TIME: Sat, Jan 9th, 11:00am – 3:00pm
- ROUTE: East SJ and Evergreen areas of SJ
- Start (changed): Lee Mathson M.S, 2050 Kammerer Ave (visible from Hwy 680 West, just east of Hwy 101)

We’ll see, we “might” even investigate starting in two places. But we will still focus on the east side.
OUR Test Rides’ New Years Resolutions? To have many more riders step up and OWN the ride — the test rides process… and during the main rides: the start, during the ride, at key turns and in and out of the regroups!
Even if you don’t have Facebook, the overall information is there.
Bike Party comes quick this January! On the 15th!
