JULY 2011 Ride Calendar
SPORTS BASEMENT SUNNYVALE RIDES: July 23, 2011.
The Sports Basement has again invited us to start our FFBC club rides from their Sunnyvale store.
There are four rides listed below. Route sheets will be provided. If there is no ride leader designated by the time of the ride we will treat the ride as a show and go and designate a volunteer ride leader for that ride.
The Sports Basement Sunnyvale store will provide snacks and beverages for FFBC, plus a 20% discount shopping day.
Wednesday evening pizza rides.
Julie Gilson will be hosting the popular Wednesday evening Pizza Rides for the month of July. (Carrie Payne will be covering for Julie on July 20.) The July pizza rides will meet at Mission Pizza, located at 1572 Washington Blvd, Fremont, (510) 651-6858. This is the plaza on Washington between Paseo Padre Pkwy and the Washington exit from Interstate 680. Please park at the rear of the shopping complex rather than in front.
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 the ride departs. If you are staying for pizza the cost is $5.00 per person and that includes three pieces of pizza and a soda per rider.
The rides meet at 6:00 PM for sign in, to be completed by 6:10. Departure time is 6:15pm SHARP.
Pizza Ride leader reservation list:
August: open
September: open
You can reserve a month of Pizza Rides anytime by contacting me. See the Pizza Ride Coordinator's "How To" Guide in the FFBC website Member Services for more information on leading one.
