Here’s the latest, most updated route for this Friday’s Troll Ride!  We’ll update this post if last-minute changes happen in the next day or so.

May 15th Troll Ride on Map My Ride

This route takes on a tour of Cupertino to the brand-new $15M Mary Ave bridge – and a WAY cool photo op for the photographers on the Stelling Ave overpass – only a half-mile away from our crossing of the lit-up Mary bridge.

Update, 5/15:

I know it’s last-minute, but here are the directions for the route tonight!  Learn them early so you can help keep our ride on-route!

Updated! The draft route for the April ride has been posted!  We’re headed to Los Gatos via Bascom, returning up Winchester to visit Santana Row!

Note that this ride is a loop that will return to Dick’s Center, and those wishing to continue to SJSU can do that after, or just keep going on San Carlos Street when the rest of us turn.

See the route here on MapMyRide.

I know you’re excited, so here’s the freshly-planned March Bike Party Route Map!  (It sends you to MapMyRide.)  Update 3/18:  This route (at version 4) is now complete and accurate!

Major destinations include downtown Willow Glen, Oakridge Mall, Almaden Expressway, and South First Street.  Mileage is moderately increased from last month – up to around 16mi/26km.  The regroups are really evenly spaced, from around 2.5 to 3.5 miles between.

To see the turn-by-turn directions, scroll down to the 5th comment!

Remember that Bike Party now meets at Dick’s Center, which you can see on this map.

This month, bring out your broomsticks! We’ll start and end this ride with a brief trial of broom bike polo. For an idea of how the rules might look, check out this list of rules from NYC Bike Polo.

See you there!
