SPECIAL HAPPENINGS
No meeting in July, our Next FFBC Meeting is on August 12th
Meetings are regularly held the second Tuesday of every month. The monthly Board Meeting is at 6:30 p.m. followed by the General Meeting at 7:30 p.m.
Meetings are now held at:
Fremont Adult School
4700 Calaveras Avenue (Room N6)
Fremont, CA (map)
We will be using room N6, which is a prefab classroom at the rear of the rear parking lot. Members should park behind the main building, as far to the rear as possible to be close to the room.
Wednesday Evening Pizza Rides
It's time again for our popular Pizza Rides and this month the Pizza place is Mission Pizza 1572 Washington Blvd in Fremont! Join couples, Julia & David Walker and Robin & Tim O’Hara on Wednesday evenings this June for an early evening ride, returning before dark to feast on pizza. There will be multiple routes to choose from.
If you plan on staying for pizza, $5 buys you 3 slices of pizza and soft drinks after the ride (participation optional). When signing in, remember to check “YES” or “NO” on the sign-in sheet for pizza so we order the appropriate amount of pizza. The pizza order is placed before the ride starts so late arrivals will miss out. Food will be ready at 7:30 pm.
The rides meet at 6:00 pm for sign in, to be completed by 6:10. Departure time is 6:15 sharp.
Pizza Ride Leader Reservation List:
August: Julia & David Walker, Robin & Tim O'Hara
September: OPEN
You can volunteer to lead a month of Pizza Rides anytime by contacting the Ride Coordinator. See the Pizza Ride Coordinator's "How To" Guide on the FFBC website for more information about leading one.
Friday Evening Beer Rides
The Das Brew Friday evening rides are back by popular demand for August. Each Friday in August there will be a short ride (15-20 miles) that starts and ends at Das Brew (http://www.dasbrewinc.com/home.htm) in Fremont. The rides will be at a moderate, social pace, riding just fast enough to justify a flight of 4 (2.5oz) beers or a 12oz mug. Faster riders are welcome to knock themselves out by doing the route at lightening speed or twice if they really want to earn their beer. Ride begins at 6pm.
The good folks at Das Brew are excited to welcome us back. Since our rides last year they've expanded their tasting room although the seating is still outside. They now have a food truck every Friday except the first Friday of the month and they're working on that. Parking is still somewhat limited but it may be possible to park in the lot next door to Das Brew or on a lot on Business Center Drive.
