SPECIAL HAPPENINGS
Wednesday Evening Pizza Rides
Join Wynn Kageyama the first two Wednesdays of the month.
The Pizza Rides are short rides that start & finish at a local pizza parlor and are a great way to meet fellow riders. If you are staying for pizza after the ride, the cost is $5.00 per person for three pieces of pizza and a soda. Pizza is served between 7:30 and 7:45, depending upon the overall ride length. Overall ride length is primarily dependent upon time of sunset.
All levels of riders are welcome, and the ride leader will provide routes, for every level. Because routes and rider abilities vary, riders should be comfortable following a route sheet. This is NOT a “no-drop” ride. It is highly recommended to bring a headlight and taillight, especially since it is getting dark earlier these evenings.
When signing in, remember to check “YES” or “NO” on the sign in sheet for pizza to provide an accurate head count as we place our order before the ride. The rides meet at 6:00 PM for sign in by 6:10. Departure time is 6:15 PM SHARP.
Meet Wynn at Bronco Billy's Pizza Palace, 37651 Niles Boulevard, Fremont (510) 792-1070. Parking will be at the train station, between I and J streets.
