MARCH TEST RIDES
The feedback from our first March test ride is positive. Join us for a ride this week!
Anyone who has been on a test ride knows how much fun it is. A smaller crowd makes it easier to get to know people and it is a great way to gear up for the 3rd Friday event. We are always looking for people who want to ride bikes and help get our routes ready for future rides.
If you would like to help out and love SJBP please come out!

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)
- End: dt SJ
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!

Wear your scarfs this month!
Test Rides are a way that we prepare the SJBP route & train volunteers for the main ride. We need many more volunteers & we need these tasks (listed below) performed for both the Test Rides and the main ride. Your help is appreciated. For those that get up early on a Saturday, or want to catch a ride en route this ride’s for you… next Saturday, Dec. 12th, 10:00am-1:45pm
1. help market via FB, SJBP page,etc
2. send out info on FB (direct messages only)
3. print out guest list (2 per ride)
4. make & format documents – “Turn by Turn Directions”
5. create route & site captain sheets on google docs

Update: This ride was more like and experimental “pre-ride#1″ so THANKS for working with it and your immediate feedback earlier esp. with the “options.” Apologies for going too long on time. We will need to start as close to 9pm as possible obviously and would ask for your help in that regard. We are already making some route changes. Please add you comments here ASAP as we want to finalize the route and turn by turn directions ASAP.
*** We are going to need volunteers on this ride at 3-5 key points!!!

Help plan the route for the next Bike Party!
Pre-Ride #1 for July’s Ride at ~7:00-7:15 pm start time this Thursday evening, June 25th, starting at Dick’s parking lot.
Looking for 8-10+ riders and 1-2 ”virtual riders that can help us via PC and MapMyRide in real time if needed. The pace will not be dramatically faster than the usual SJBP, but will be decided upon by the group. The ride may go off the pre-set route in an attempt to fine tune the ride.
Justin and crew will be leading this Thursday’s pre-ride again.
Please contact us at sjbp (dot) prerides (at) gmail (dot) com if you are interested.
Thanks!
