SJBP relies on cyclists like you to help us test the route each month before the main event. In December, we’re riding our annual holiday lights ride route – so the test rides are mostly just for fun and fine tuning….more fellowship than function!
Join us Wednesday, December 6 as we test the route for our December ride: Furries vs. Robots! (You know, from that Galaxy Conflicts movie… #WinkWink #NudgeNudge)
Gathering starts at 6:30pm. Wheels hit the street at 7pm.
Meet/Start/End: San Jose City Hall Rotunda
–> For GPS: Use 200 E Santa Clara St, San Jose, CA 95113 (@4th)
Ride leader: Enrique
Ride length: 16ish Miles
Ride pace: Moderate

There will be 15+/- minute stops at each of our two prospective regroup spots.
These small group rides are a great way to meet new people, catch up with old friends, or just get out for a social ride. While you’re pedaling, we’ll count on you to help us keep an eye out for potential route hazards. Your feedback will help us adjust the route and keep all of Bike Party safe!
Things to watch out for:
– road or bike lane construction
– hazardous railroad crossings
– poorly signed lane changes
– tricky turns
– problematic regroup spots
– notable debris in the road
– dangerous traffic patterns
