Important things to note:
THIS IS A PARADE. They are super fun – but be ready to stop a lot, wait and roll very slowly. EXTRA PATIENCE REQUIRED.
Bring sunscreen, water, and snacks.
This is a great opportunity to bring your kids to bike party if they have the patience level for a lot of waiting/idle time before and also during the event.
Please arrive early enough to find parking as needed and get yourselves saddled up. Remember that the starting point (Dana/Shasta) and the ending point (Race/Alameda)are not the same location. Be prepared for street closures!
If you are sans kiddos – consider parking in a centralized location and ride over to the high school; or take transit; or ride from home.
(Parade Route Map w/closures is posted in the Discussion!)
Costumes and Decorations are always optional – but always fun! There is a free bike decoration station at our meet up location on the front lawn at Lincoln HS – arrive early to decorate.
Please check your bikes, scooters, skates, boards, and unicycles ahead of time; and bring tubes/pumps/tools to support yourself as needed.
