Bike the Limits!

Have you ever wanted to ride 100 miles?  Or attempt to ride all the way around the City of San Jose?  How about a daytime Bike Party ride?

On Saturday, April 3rd, Bike Party will ride FARTHER and LONGER than ever before as we ride along San Jose’s city limits, going places where Bike Party tires have yet to tread. With 30, 60, and 100 mile versions of the ride, this party has something for everyone!

Turns-by-turn directions will posted once the routes are 100% finalized and well before the day of the ride!

NEW route/start/finish!    Update: Mad props to the 40-50 test riders. Huge Bike Party Thx to Lloyd, Jeff, Bob, Ed & others leading this test ride!

Parking: DT SJ Parking Map

PRE-RIDES: None at this time

MAIN RIDE: SJSU Campus Village start!

Folks –  we’re having a “post party” after Bike Party on Feb 19th… so we’re now starting outside SJSU’s gleaming (almost) new Campus Village and ending next to the SJ Museum of Art.

Let’s meet at 10:30am and shoot for a 10:45am departure.

FEB2010_TESTRIDE#2_SAT_JAN30TH (25.18 MI.)

Keeps some of the previous routing spirit…

Nerd focus switched to great schools!
Including Lynbrook HS, with 2 of the 40 nationwide Intel Science Talent Search 2010 finalists! One each from Harker & Palo Alto too! Way to go SJ!

If someone can create Turn by Turn Directions on googlemaps and post it here and facebook that would be great.

We’re looking for more volunteers – so please step up and help in any way you can. From printing maps and attendee lists to getting fellow riders to become BIRDs. Or become a BIRD yourself! Get Involved!

New to Bike Party or curious? Test Rides are also a great place to start. If anyone gets a flat tire, you’ll have 1-2 other riders stay with you… as the ride will go on and you’ll easily catch up!

Thank you

We will have a test ride this morning, Sat, Jan 23rd. If you can only do a 24 mile loop, then drive over to Cupertino Square and meet us there. If you want a longer ride, you can try either of the earlier starts.

10:00am – Pre-Ride at SJ City Hall, by the Fountains (look for Yoshi)

10:30am – Start at Winchester (Century) 21&22 (across from Santana Row)

11:15-20am-ish — Cupertino Square (Vallco) by Macy’s
