For those that are planning to do an easy ride prior to the social event:

3:00pm- Find parking somewhere in the vicinity of the Actual Cafe.  I will lead a local ride to the Bay Side Trail. We will return around 5:00pm to join others at the Actual Cafe.  Note: There is indoor bicycle parking inside the cafe.

Bummer… ride canceled due to predicted rain all day. To be rescheduled for Saturday, June 18th. (posted 9:10pm on 6/3/11)

1. Rain is in the forecast (bummer).  Check the website Saturday morning at 7:00am to see if ride is canceled.
2. West side of GGB closed for four months.  Us cyclists need to co-mingle with the pedestrians on the East side (oh joy!).
