SJBP relies on cyclists like you to help us test the route before we launch each big event. Join us Friday as we test the route for April’s #SpacePirates Bike Party.
Friday, March 25. Gathering starts at 7:30pm. Wheels hit the street at 8pm.
Ride leader: Richard M
Ride length: 15-ish miles

Start: Roosevelt Park; 901 E. Santa Clara St @ 19th. (We’re using the roller rink address but meeting in the main park center gathering area.)

There will be stops at each of our two prospective regroup spots. Remember to bring lights and layers…and maybe a thermos of something warm!
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
