WnD QS 6/3 – Soda Springs

Hi All,

We will do our first big climb of the year – Soda Springs.  It will entail a short stint in the dirt to get up to the reservoir and back. No route sheets needed.  Hope to see you there.  (20 miles / 3000 feet)

WnD Ride: June 3, 09

Mellow Ride

The Lollipop Ride

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.

This is not a rated goat

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:
