Let's make up for the canceled rides due to the rain, while enjoying the gorgeous light that has been bathing the bay lately! Meet Fredo Cirne (walfredo.cirne@gmail.com, 408-931-4133) and Eduardo Colaço (eduardojmc@gmail.com) at 3:30 PM for a 3:45 departure at Burgess Park in Menlo Park. We meet at the parking lot at Alma St and Burgess Dr. This is a scenic gravel ride by the Bay, with few cars even when we are on paved roads. Starting from Burgess Park, we're going towards the Bay via Lindenwood, cross 101 on the Menlo Park bike bridge. Once in the Bay, we pay a visit to the magnificent Bedwell Park before heading Southeast through the Bay Trail to Ravenswood, Byxbee, Crittenden. For the Sunset Edition, we add the NASA loop and go all the way to Sunnyvale. Return is inland via low traffic streets, avoiding the headwind by the Bay. We stopat Sports Page for dinner (and maybe a beer ;-).
The final piece of this ride happens after sunset. Please bring lights and appropriate clothing.
This ride is great fun, but keep in mind it contains a good amount of gravel. I'd recommend a gravel, MTB or city bike with 38mm tires or more. That said, if you are comfortable doing gravel with skinny 28mm tires, all the power to you! GPS Route: https://www.strava.com/routes/3079475616140253224. Rain or smoke (AQI > 100) cancels the ride.
