Route looks complicated but that’s because we are riding mainly through bicycle trails. Must have a front light due to pitch black bike trails. Remember that everyone is resposible for their own actions and bring your positive attitude.

MAP FOR 2MORROW SBP monthly Run. We will not give out printouts of map so make your own copy. Also take some cash for a Wing Stop break. If you don’t care for Wing Stop, Starbucks and other stores are near by. Every resposible age welcome and as always bring your positive attidude. BIKE PARTY!!
P.S.
In the past runs people that ride fast end up waiting a long time at each breakpoint which leads to some frustration in both ends because they want to leave by the time the last biker makes it to the breakpoint. Plus it splits up the group and some people get lost. So we ask every “fast” pace bikers to give the “cruiser” pace bikers a head start at the beganing of the run and every break point. So depending on how fast you ride, the rule of thumb is, the faster the rider the longer head start you give the “cruising” riders. Thank you to everyone who will be participating. Just for riding your bike you are making a positive change in Salinas. So lets get on our bikes and have fun! Click below for map
