The month of July we will have a series of Saturday morning rides aimed at the beginning and restarting cyclist. These rides will be on the trails and side streets of Pleasanton near the starting point at the Pleasanton Senior Center parking lot. The final Saturday we will meet at a location away from the Center for an enjoyable graduation ride.Although limited to cyclist who are 18 years of age or older, anyone is welcome whether they are a Pleasanton resident or not. Although primarily aimed at road bike cyclist, the rides will be short enough that any type of bicycle will be appropriate. The Pleasant Peddlers are always e-bike friendly.

After the ride, the leader will stick around to answer any questions you may have about bicycle maintenance or rudimentary repairs.

All riders will be required to wear helmets and have a bike in good repair. Since these are summer rides you may wish to bring water. The Senior Center will not be open on Saturdays. No support vehicles will be available. If you have any questions please email: pleasantonpedaler@outlook.com.
