This ride varies each month. The route and details will be posted here (and announced on the "wwbc-RIDES" email list) a week or two before the ride each month.

Contact ride leader (Fredo Cirne -- walfredo.cirne@gmail.com) with any questions.

INFO FOR 5/17/26: (NOTE EARLY START!)

With the Sequoia around the corner, I thought it is time for a longer ride.  We are going to check the recently restored Alviso levee loop.  We will start a little earlier, given the extra 20 miles or so.  We meet at 8:15 for an 8:30 departure at Burgess Park in Menlo Park (parking lot at Alma St and Burgess Dr).  

This is a scenic gravel ride by the Bay, with few cars even when we are on paved roads. Starting from Burgess Park, we're going towards the Bay via Lindenwood, crossing 101 on the Menlo Park bike bridge. Once in the Bay, we pay a visit to the magnificent Bedwell Park before heading Southeast through the Bay Trail to Ravenswood, Byxbee and Crittenden. This time we will keep going south to Alviso, where we will do the beautiful levee loop. Lunch is in Alviso at El Taco de Oro. Return is inland via low traffic streets, avoiding the headwind by the Bay.

This ride is great fun, but keep in mind it contains a good amount of gravel. I'd recommend a gravel or city bike with 38mm tires or more.  That said, if you are comfortable riding gravel with skinny 28mm tires, all the power to you!
