W<\/span>e are running the 2015 Mayors\u2019 Ride at WordPress now. A different format, it will allow me to keep it current on the fly, no matter where my travels may take me. Since 2002, we have relied on the Adobe GoLive web authoring tool to create our Mayors\u2019 Ride schedules. Adding pictures or \u00a0any other data was a far more cumbersome process than how it is now possible to do on the WordPress platform. See our 2015 ride HERE<\/span><\/a><\/strong>!!<\/p>\n

This year, we begin Saturday, May 9 in San Jose with our fifth ride to Palo Alto. There is a very good chance that SJSU Professor Randy Mitchell will be there on his 19th Century\u00a0 Columbia HiWheel. He might even break out the Ordinary Luge trick pictured below.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Screen<\/a><\/p>\n

An easy, casual ride, on a lot of it, we will feel like we are in the middle of nowhere as we ride the trails hidden in the South Bay marshes. We might even be escorted again by San Jose Bike Coordinator John Brazil, who devised this route for us.<\/span><\/p>\n

The next day, Sunday May 10, is our 8th Palo Alto to San Francisco ride. Here is what we did last year <link<\/a><\/strong>>. Former Palo Alto Bicycle Mayor, Yoriko Kishimoto, and her amazing husband Lee Collins plan to be there. Apple employee #1, and Steve Jobs, former best friend, Dan Kottke wants to ride again.\u00a0 <\/span>And the favorite bicycle son of the bicycle City of Davis, Peter Wagner, <link<\/a><\/strong>>\u00a0 <\/span>has said he looks forward to coming back with his family!<\/span><\/p>\n

Monday May 11, our 3rd Tour de San Francisco will find us connecting the two legendary San Francisco bridges along its waterfront with\u00a0 <\/span>a casual ride. Details on the above rides are all at our new schedule.<\/span><\/p>\n

On <\/span>Saturday May 16<\/span>, we ride from Palo Alto to Oakland via the Dumbarton Bridge. This is a ride every Bay Area cyclist needs in his trophy\u00a0 case. To be able to say you pedaled your bicycle over the San Francisco Bay is an important right of passage for anyone who bikes in this region<\/span><\/p>\n

What\u2019s more is\u00a0 <\/span>that once we reach the Oakland Airport at the edge of the Bay, we will be using several important pathways that Ron Bishop<\/a> played a big part in advocating for.\u00a0 <\/span>It is here that we look forward to being joined by the group Ron founded with Mary Ann Blackwell called\u00a0 <\/span>the Bay Area Easy Riders Touring Group.<\/span><\/p>\n

The next weekend on May 23, our First Annual Ron Bishop Lake Merritt Memorial Ride will travel around the pride of Oakland. Three miles in length, it starts and ends at Oakland City Hall as a way to honor the man who did so much for those on two and three wheels\u00a0 <\/span>in the City of Oakland.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ron\u2019s\u00a0 <\/span>symbolic Lake Merritt ride precedes the Oakland to Berkeley ride that also leaves from Oakland City Hall directly afterwards. On our ride to Berkeley we will probably be joined by Berkeley Councillor Kriss Worthington. He is inviting Mayor Tom Bates, Father of Traffic Calming (podcast with NBG<\/a><\/strong>) to join us. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"Screen<\/a><\/p>\n

On the last weekend in May, if we can work out the details, we will be riding all or part of Reno’s 12-mile Truckee River trail. <\/span><\/p>\n

To date, these rides have invitations:<\/span><\/p>\n
