January 15, 2026-->Thursday’s Social Ride

Pleasanton Senior Center - North Parking Lot
--->MEET---> 9:15 am
--->ROLL---> 9:30 am
Should be another spectacular winter day in the Tri-Valley. The key variable that may (MAY) impact the ride will be if the Greek god of the North Wind --"Boreas" misbehaves. He was a challenge January 8. Note: Pedalers faced nasty NNE headwinds traveling up Collier Canyon. Feeling guilty, Boreas then made all subsequent westward portions a very sweet ride.
******Route...Weather Update will determine --
Tentative thoughts could be Mines Rd. First poppy blooms are in evidence. Ranchers have cows/calves feasting on succulent grasses [And somewhere on Mines Rd the mysterious peacocks might announce themselves.]

*******There will be a no-host luncheon (weather permitting) following the ride for anyone who wishes to join us. Spouses are invited to join us for the ride and the luncheon afterwards.
*******Helmet (& extra tube necessary). The Pedaler's Social Ride is a "NO DROP" group and electric bike friendly. Ride "sweep" will facilitate keeping all on course. Ride will re-group as necessary. Cycling etiquette essential. Pleasanton Senior Center open .

Attendees are limited to 30 who have signed for the ride in advance. Please be sure to bring your helmet, water and a spare tubes. No SAG cars provided.
