We will meet in the back of the parking lot of the Walker Ranch Senior Center on Rhapsody Dr. We will ride over the pedestrian bridge into Walker Ranch Park to the Salado Creek Trail, and onto the Salado Creek Trail. We can go either way... towards Eisenhower Park or the other way to McAllister, Ladybird and beyond.

We have changed the venue of this ride due to insufficient parking at the Voelcker Trailhead, and concerns of crowded trails in the area.

Please change your RSVP to "NO" if you decide not to go. Folks should not have to wait for you if you are not going. If you're more than 5 min. late and haven't messaged us to wait, you'll have to catch up!

Please be sure your bike is in good repair, use a helmet, bring water, and use sunblock if needed.

Meet in the parking lot, near the trail. Bring a helmet and water.

This is our monthly "tourist" ride. We will stop at every mission and other historical site and Frank will talk about the significance of what happened at this site.

Most of the route will be on the Mission Reach multi-use paved walkway which is about 8 ft wide. There are some hills - maybe challenging for new riders but not really a big challenge. It is a very pretty ride down the river and back. There will be a few spots where we ride on roadways, but they will have very light traffic. We will be riding an average of about 11.5 MPH. Please advise one of the ride leaders (David Canada, Frank Fitzpatrick) if the speed is a problem for you. We will slow down the ride if needed. This ride is approximately 19 miles, although with the stops, most ride segments will be 3 - 4 miles. There are some locations along the ride where it is an easy ride back to our starting point if the distance is too challenging. Please talk to the ride leaders (Frank, Dave, Ricci) if you are dropping out. We keep track of our riders. We can provide an escort if turning back is needed but uncomfortable.

We will start from Roosevelt Park and head south stopping at Mission Concepcion, Mission San Jose, Espada Aqueduct, Mission Espada, Mission San Juan, and the Hot Wells Resort ruins. This ride might run a bit longer than 2.5 hours.

Please change your RSVP to "NO" if you decide not to go. Folks should not have to wait for you if you are not going. If you're more than 5 min. late and haven't messaged us to wait, you'll have to catch up!
Please be sure your bike is in good repair, use a helmet, bring water, and use sunblock, if needed.

Don't forget a helmet and water.
Please cancel your rsvp if you don't go for any reason.
From McAllister Park, we have some flexibility about which way to ride the trail. We will decide at the trailhead. Personally I favor I a ride up to Eisenhower Park Trailhead and return (only because I favor having the majority of the return ride downhill). But I have no objection to going the other way with the boardwalk, and down past Los Patios. We could even stop by a very old Oak tree adjacent to Ladybird Park.
Our group tends to be older than the majority of bicyclists, but fit for our age. On this specific route, we usually average around 12 MPH. We will slow down if we have riders that are challenged at that speed (within reason - if you have trouble with a 10 MPH average, talk to Frank, Dave or Ricci). We prefer to ride single file, with a minimum of 2 bike lengths between riders. This is for everyone's safety. Our only injuries have occurred because riders were too close when one had to react to something unexpected. Since we are an older group, we don't "bounce" as well as we used to.
Please be sure your bike is in good repair, use a helmet, bring water, and use sunblock if needed.
Some of us may get together after the ride for lunch at a restaurant that has patio dining.
