Valley Spokesmen Bicycle Training Ride

Every first Saturday morning each month at 9:00 a.m. the Valley Spokesmen Bicycle Touring club offers a 4-S ride of 45-60 miles.

Join the Wheels of Thunder and the Valley Spokesmen Racing Team on a joint training ride.

The group starts in downtown Pleasanton at the parking lot on Neal Street between Main and First Streets (across from the drive-thru milk store).

The pace varies with regrouping at the top of most long climbs. Most routes have turn-around points for those wanting shorter versions of the ride.

All riders are welcome, but be warned that these are not entry-level rides. This is a "no-drop" ride on rolling terrain (close to 18 m.p.h.) and is a good place for fit riders to start.
