Re-revised May 9 San Jose to Palo Alto Start Time and Gaudulupe River Trail option

Published on
On April 15, we announced that the starting time for our San Jose to Palo Alto ride had been moved up to 9 AM. We blew it. Caltrain’s recently revised weekend schedule won’t get anyone there on time. As such, we have moved our start back to 10AM.

If that’s not enough, San Jose Transportation Director,  Hans Larsen, is trying to clear his schedule for that day and Yoriko’s brilliant husband, Lee Collins​, an Asian language wizard who played a huge part in establishing Apple computer’s dominance in the Pacific Rim and recently met with the Dalai Lama in Japan, will be there too! 2006 NBG coast-to-coast scout, Scott Campbell​ will be there as will Barry Burr​ inventor of the revolutionary Barry Beams​ bike lighting system  on his dad’s 1946 Schwinn Phantom.  2004 NBG coast-to-coast scout, Don Loomis, another Apple powerhouse, is also trying to make room for this slow ride that Martin Krieg will be setting the pace for on his rare 10-13 mph The Eagle Bicycle​ HiWheel bike!

 
You also have the option of starting on the newly paved, car-free Gaudulupe River Trail all the way to the Bay with us for 9 miles. Your return to San Jose City Hall will give you an almost 20-mile round trip!
