T<\/span>he first leg of the\u00a0National Bicycle Greenway<\/span>
\n now starts on an epic car-free greenway!!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Screen<\/a>We’re starting this May 9, 9AM ride on a 6.5 mile section of the Guadulupe River Trail that ends at the bottom of the San Francisco Bay!! Too exciting as this paved car-free greenway trail was recently completed!! It has a beautiful riding surface and makes you feel like you are in the middle of nowhere as a busy city rushes about all around you<\/span><\/p>\n

\u200bBicycle leader and former Palo Alto Mayor,\u00a0Yoriko Kishimoto<\/a>, will be leading us, with SJSU Professor, and former stunt man,\u00a0Randal\u00a0Mitchell<\/span><\/a>l! Keep an eye out for the Ordinary Luge trick that he has promised for us on his 19th Century bike!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

If that\u2019s not enough, San Jose Transportation Director, Hans Larsen, is trying to clear his schedule for that day and Yoriko\u2019s brilliant husband,\u00a0Lee Collins<\/a>, an Asian language wizard who played a huge part in establishing Apple computer\u2019s dominance in the Pacific Rim and recently met with the Dalai Lama in Japan, will be there too! 2006 NBG coast-to-coast scout,\u00a0Scott Campbell<\/a>\u00a0will be there as will\u00a0Barry Burr<\/a>, inventor of the revolutionary\u00a0Barry Beams<\/a>\u00a0bike lighting system. 2004 NBG coast-to-coast scout, Don Loomis, another Apple powerhouse, is also trying to make room for this slow ride that Martin Krieg will be setting the pace for on his rare 10-13 mph\u00a0Eagle<\/strong><\/a>!<\/span><\/p>\n

Add to all of the above the fact that Yoriko is inviting her other bicycle friends, city and local bike organization leaders, and this easy ride will not be one you want to miss!! Be at San Jose City Hall at 9AM!!<\/span><\/p>\n

Here is an overview<\/strong><\/a> of the Guadulupe River Trail<\/strong>\u00a0as produced by the City of San Jose.<\/span><\/p>\n

Join Us<\/a><\/span>
\n<\/strong>You can just ride the 6.5 mile Guadulupe River Trail
\nand return on it on your own if you want.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
