Next Saturday, May 9th, we have two bike rides for scouts. The scouts can choose either a 10 mile bike ride or 15 mile bike ride. It is important that if a scout turns in the 10 mile permission slip, he rides the 10 mile route. And, if a scout turns in the 15 mile permission slip, he rides the 15 mile route.
Both routes start from the new Rancho San Ramon Community Park off of Bollinger Canyon Road near Windemere. We will ride south along Bollinger Canyon Road in the bike lane until we catch the Alamo Canal Trail at Old Ranch Road. From this point on, we will have a mostly flat, car free ride until we reach Pleasanton. The 10 mile route breaks and turns around at Val Vista Park. The 15 mile route continues on for several more miles before turning around.
Parents are welcome to join their scout on either ride. It will be a fun day!
Please turn in your permission slip by Tuesday, May 5th. If you haven’t had a bike check yet, please bring your bike for a quick check at 6:30 pm. See you there!
