Irish Green Ride – Theme Tease, Test Rides, and Artwork

Erin go Bragh!

Did you know the first St. Patrick’s day parade was not held in Ireland but in Boston, Massachusetts in 1737. And did you know the first bike ride outside of Ireland with the Lord Mayor of Dublin was held in San Jose, California in 2012. Well, there ya go.

This month’s theme is about all things Irish; green, leprechauns, four leaf clovers, rainbows, pots o’ gold,  and for one big night San Jose will be Dublin on wheels.

Join us and help test the route.

Test Ride #1 Tuesday, March 3, 2015  at 6:00 pm

Test Ride #2 Saturday, March 14, 2015 at 3:14 pm (yes 3:14 pm)

Test Ride #3 Monday, March 16, 2015 at 7:00 pm

Test Rides will meet at 13047 Fehren Dr, San Jose, CA 95111

Don’t forget the big ride is on the third Friday of the Month, March 20. Wheels hit the street at 8 pm. We’re currently working on a Irish inspired playlist. There are so many artists and bands to choose from. Any suggestions?.
