Our 2015 ride will leave from the Golden Gate city, instead of cycle to it – see HERE for an explanation. And below for why we feel Palo Alto is the true cornerstone for the National Bicycle Greenway.

With the San Francisco hills behind us in the morning, the ride will be a lot easier than in years past. Ten miles before the end, Whole Foods Redwood City will recharge us  with energy  food and drink before we end at Palo Alto Bicycles where a small reception is TBA.

We’ll take the 8:31 train from the CalTrain station at University and Alma and start riding from San Francisco an hour later. Try to be at the station at 8AM. You cannot be late!! You can also meet us at the 4th & King SF Caltrain at 9:38 and ride with us from there!

ROUTE

Bike Route, mostly flat once you leave SF, that runs fairly close to the railroad alignment that dates back to the time of Abraham Lincoln’s presidency. It lets you see the little towns of South San Francisco, San Bruno, Milbrae, Burlingame, San Mateo, Belmont, San Carlos, Redwood City and Menlo Park on lightly trafficked roads we have been using since 2003 to make this connection.
