Meet Howard Shafer and Jacquette Ward (408-712-4573 or jhshafer@sbcglobal.net) at Cuesta Park (at the back of the parking lot at Cuesta and Nilda) at 11:00 amor an 11:15 am departure at an honest A-pace for this easy, pre-Oktober Fest ride to the shoreline Baylands. The ride takes the Stevens Creek Trail to get to the Baylands and the Permanente Creek Trail to return. It is a flat ride except for a few overpasses and underpasses. We will return in time for bratwursts and saurkraut. Bad conditions including hurricanes, locust plagues, snow blizzards, atomic bomb attacks, and leaders’ stubbed toes will cancel this ride. However, the leaders will work diligently to refrain from stubbing toes before ride, so relax, at least insofar as leaders stubbed toes are concerned.
