Bike Palo Alto 2012 and the Mayor’s Challenge this Sunday, 10/7, 1-4 pm at El Carmelo! Enjoy the beautiful fall weather and discover Palo Alto’s great bike routes! Meet your neighbors, lower your carbon footprint and have some fun! For those of you who want company pedaling from Barron Park over to El Carmelo, Lynnie Melena and Cedric de la Beaujaidiere will “lead” Barron Park bicyclists who want to join her on Matadero at the approach to El Camino Real at 12:45 p.m. We will go to Park Boulevard, then to the tunnel at California Avenue, then continue on California to Bryant and then south to El Carmelo. If you RSVP me, I will know to expect you. Should be fun! Members of the Barron Park Green Team are some of the most active organizers of this event.
At El Carmelo School (Bryant & Loma Verde)there will be bike safety info, helmet fitting, and basic bike safety checks and maintenance. Then choose one of the highlighted routes and take a fun ride with free treats along the way at stops including Whole Foods, the Sweet Shop and the YMCA. Free water bottles for the first 150 participants and free raffle for all!
