>Gary asked me to lead this month's SBAY Geek Ride since he'll be out of town.
>This social bike ride will start 3PM Sunday, March 25.  It's held on the
>Sunday of the next weekend following the SBAY Pizza (i.e. 8 days later) from
>March to October.  See the calendar on the web site for the 2001 rides.

>Conversation tends to be of the same kinds of technical subjects as at
>the SBAY Pizzas.  Even if a bike ride isn't your kind of social event or
>your bike isn't ready for this month's ride, feel free to invite other
>communications geeks in the area whom you think will be interested, just
>like with any sbay.org social event.

>This month's route is the Los Alamitos Creek Trail in San Jose's Almaden
>Valley.  The trailhead is at the Almaden light rail station.  The primary
>route is a 14-mile loop returning to the starting point.  However, if
>everyone who shows up has a mountain bike and is agreeable to the change,
>a more challenging route is possible which goes over the hills through Santa
>Teresa County Park and ends at the Santa Teresa light rail station.  (The
>ride is only 10.5 miles if we take the Santa Teresa route.)  The directions
>and info about this route are at
>   http://www.sbay.org/ride-alamitos-creek.html
>
>The tradition so far has been that if you live within a few miles of the
>light rail system, try to find a way to leave the car at home and take
>your bike on the light rail.  Bring bike lights to allow for returning
>in the dark.  We usually stop for food after the ride.
>
>Though it isn't required, I'd appreciate if you let me know you're planning
>to come, even if there's only a chance you'll make it.  If you don't contact
>me, I won't know to wait for you.  And with a new event like the Geek Ride,
>it's just nice to know who's considering attending.
