A/1.5/17 Meandering through Saratoga

 Meet Howard Shafer and Jacquette Ward (408-712-4573 or jhshafer@sbcglobal.net ) at Rainbow Park, San Jose at 1:30 pm, giving you plenty of time to sleep in, go to church, or do whatever you prefer. To get to the start from Lawrence Expressway, exit toward the closest hills (west) onto Bollinger Road and then turn left at Johnson Avenue. Rainbow Park is on Johnson Avenue directly across the street from Lynbrook High School. We’ll start near the restrooms at Johnson Avenue and Donington Drive. We’ll wander through Saratoga and parts of Los Gatos on a route that will include some very classy neighborhoods. Expect to get some practice climbing and descending moderate hills. If you haven’t learned to shift gears, you can learn on this ride. There will be no lunch stop.
