Let's stay near the Bay and explore the South Bay a little! We'll use lots of off-street paths, and well-marked bike lanes. The gravel sections can be ridden on narrow road tires, but bring your wide-tire bike if you have one! We'll pass by Moffett Field (NASA Ames) and visit an egret rookery on the Google campus. Lunch is at the 27.5-mile point at Michael's (Shoreline golf course), followed by the closing stretch over the Dumbarton Bridge.

**Pedaler Hosts will do their best to accurately (and appropriately) use adjectives like "mellow...affable" when describing the weekly Thursday rides.
Attendees are limited to 30 who have signed for the ride in advance.
**Bring your helmet, tube, and water. We anticipate 'clothing adjustment stops' along the way. Restrooms are available at the start (Pleasanton Senior Center).

**The Ride Sweep will ensure that the group remains together. This is a "NO DROP" ride and is e-bike friendly. Cycling etiquette is essential. No SAG cars provided.
