WEDNESDAY EVENING PIZZA RIDE
Come One! Come All! Join Darryl and Sally Wilson for the ever popular Wednesday evening Pizza Rides. For the month of June, the pizza rides will meet each week at Pizza Patio, located at 3395 Walnut Ave, Fremont, Between Paseo Padre Pkwy and Fremont Blvd. Parking immediately in front of the business is limited, so please use the larger adjacent parking lot. As always, there will be two routes; a longer more challenging ride, and a shorter flatter ride. The rides meet at 6:00 PM for sign in to be completed by 6:10. When signing in, remember to check “YES” or “NO” on the sign in sheet for pizza so we have an accurate head count on who is staying after the ride. The Pizza Order is placed before we depart. Departure time is 6:15 sharp. The cost is $5.00 per person and that includes three pieces of Pizza and a soda per rider.
Please pair up with riders of similar abilities, and help each other so that no one is left riding or fixing a flat alone.
