I'm planning a easy-paced ride in Fremont along the Alameda Creek Trail for Saturday July 8 with a couple of friends of mine who have just taken up cycling. We thought the Alameda Creek Trail would be a great route - nice and flat, no chance of getting lost, plenty of bathrooms along the way, and hopefully a tailwind on the way back. It should be between 22 and 25 miles. Also, since it's an out-and-back, folks who want a shorter route can turn back anywhere along the way, or relax at one of the shady park areas and catch the rest of the group on the way back.

Any of you TE-ers want to come along, and bring some friends? I think Trek420 is in, and Winddance may be bringing a friend who has just started riding.

(Of course, hill repeats on Jobob's "Nemesis hill" are optional - but I'm going to tackle it - once!)

I'd like to meet up between 9 and 10 am (maybe even earlier, if it's going to be really hot) at the Niles Canyon Staging area parking lot.

For anyone who's interested, here's a link to our last group ride down there.

I'll start a roll call and post more details as the time draws near...
