This is a nice flat ride up Peters Canyon Trail, across the wide-open Walnut Trail to the Cypress Trail, and connecting with the Portola Side Path. This ride is mostly flat, with an easy downhill for the second half.

Helmets are mandatory for all rides. We will be observing standard bicycle safety rules, and the host will do a short safety speech before we ride.

Silver Spokes is a cycling group specifically designed for senior women who want to stay active on their bikes and socialize, while not aiming to go fast or long. Road bikes and e-bikes are welcome.

Silver Spokes was established in May 2024 and is growing quickly.
