Be Green, Print Your Own Route Sheet (when they are available)

I am only printing a few route sheets to conserve paper. Riders are encouraged to print your own route sheets before the ride. This is the only way you can be sure to get a route sheet. I am tired of wasting so much paper.

The Wednesday Whine and Dine Mountain Bike Ride

The Whine and Dine Mountain Bike Ride is listed for the same time as the road rides. I will be climbing slowly this year, so the pace is slow and social. The riders can influence which route we choose. The ride is listed for April, May, and June. If there is continued interest I will list it all summer. Meet at the same time and place as the road ride, Summit Bikes 6:00 PM. – Tyler French

WnD QS 6/24 – Hwy 9 East

I am still trying to build climbing fitness for the Death Ride and was looking for  doable long climbs when I noticed that we have never done hwy 9.  Well lets change that w/ the extra daylight of the longest days of the year - 25 miles and 2800 feet of climbing.  No route sheets – straight forward route w/ a return up 6th street.  I hope to see you there. We roll at 6pm

WnD QS 6/17 – Hicks Mt Umunum Ken/Shan

Come visit the resting place of the hummingbirds (translation for Umunum).  If you make it to the top, you will have done one of the most difficult rides we will do all summer, the only ride more difficult is Bolhman w/ the on Orbit option.  Be prepared for steep grades rewarded w/ some spectacular views off of Mt Umunum.  Hope to see you tonight. No route sheets since the ride is very straight forward.

About the Mellow Ride:

Mt. Eden/Pierce

24 miles, 4LM, 1522 Feet of climbing, an ambitious ride for a mellow ride, usually saved for the almost longest riding day of this season! We will leave on-time and will keep to pace. “This is the big one Elizabeth!” Be prepared for a longer and a bit of a challenging ride.

This is a good workout! However, there is a “super mellow option,” see below!

WnD Social Event Friday

Downtown San Jose Party June 5th
According to the related Web site, Friday is SubZero. SubZero is billed as, “a diy, artistically bent, hi/lo-techno-mashup where street meets geek presented by ZER01 and South First Fridays.

From dusk ‘til midnight between San Carlos and Reed Street, you’ll find two stages of entertainment plus 100 artists, performers, and musicians celebrating the indie creative spirit.”

This an event associated with South FIRST FRIDAYS. First Fridays is an ecletic evening of Arts & Culture in downtown San Jose’s SoFA (South First Arts) district every First Friday of the month.

The SoFA District in San Jose is the growing art district South First Street between San Carlos and East Reed Streets. This area features galleries, cafes and the yoga studio. The gallaries will all be open and it is a lot of fun.

Meet at yoga at 5:00 p.m.
A great opportunity to try Yoga! We are starting at 5 p.m. with an optional super mellow Restorative Yoga class (cost $10) put on by Janya Wongsopa at Downtown Yoga Shala. Janya is a great Yoga teacher and this is a very mellow class. I recommend this as a great class for trying yoga for the first time. I plan to be there.

Or, meet at dinner and drinks at 7:00 p.m.
Dinner and drinks at Hawgs is at about 7. Hawg’s San Jose is close enough to be convenient and far enough away from SubZero to not be slammed by the event. If you can’t make Yoga, then meet up here. We can eat, have cocktails and then we can go to the street party. Hope you can make it!

Please RSVP so I can make appropriate reservations:
