Hello Wheelers! After a bit of a delay, the Thaco Thursday Tours are BACK for 2026! This month = (B+C/0.5/26.6)
We will be doing these TTT's every Third Thursday from May to October! Yep, that starts THIS WEEK!
As last year, we'll START from Silicon Valley Bike Exchange, @ 9:45 for a 10am roll out.
SVBEx is located at 3961 East Bayshore Rd in the rear parking lot. (water & restroom avail)
The location is just north of San Antonio Rd on the east side of Hwy 101. There is construction nearby, but the Corporation Way Entrance is open.
The Theme this season is: "Enjoy the Vistas!" so every route will take us to some fun/unique/peaceful sites, some will be at sea level, some up a bit higher!
All TTT's will be followed by those Delicious Tacos , at the wonderful La Cazuela, in EPA. (most of the time)
So for this first TTT we start out easy, with a "Baylands Vistas Tour", a mellow 26.6 miles and only 300 ft of gain.
This month's route will also have a total of 4.8 miles of Gravel , divided in three locations, and over half of this route is on car-free bike paths.
We will have multiple REGROUPS at the Vista locations and at restrooms when available.
This is a mellow, social paced ride, so no one will be dropped.
I know the WW's all know this but please make sure your bike is in good shape, tires and brakes all trustworthy and helmets are REQUIRED.
It will be warm this week, so bring your water bottles, and dress in light/bright colors to stay cool and be visable!
NEW this year , we will have the usual WW Sign-In Sheet (Optional/for club mileage) and the SVBEx will also have a Sign-In Sheet. (require for their insurance)
One of the upcoming rides will have a group size limit, with pre-registration required, more on that in the very near future!
