SJBP relies on cyclists like you to help us test the route before we launch each big event. Join us Saturday afternoon as we test the route for April’s #thefool’sride Bike Party. It’s one of the ride leaders’ birthday so come and say happy birthday to Richard Souza.

Saturday, April 8th. Gathering starts at 1:00pm. Wheels hit the street at 1:30pm.

Ride leader: Richard Souza + David Kincaid

Ride length: 17.5 miles

Ride pace: casual (11-13mph average)

Start: 958 Berryessa Station Way

Route:https://ridewithgps.com/routes/42418181

There will be 20+/- minute stops at each of our two prospective regroup spots.

These small group rides are a great way to meet new people, catch up with old friends, or just get out for a social ride. While you’re pedaling, we’ll count on you to help us keep an eye out for potential route hazards. Your feedback will help us adjust the route and keep all of Bike Party safe!

Things to watch out for:

– road or bike lane construction

– hazardous railroad crossings

– poorly signed lane changes

– tricky turns

– problematic regroup spots

– notable debris in the road

– dangerous traffic patterns
