Starts on April 6th, and continues all 2008 season long for every Padres Sunday home game, so ride from home or choose your own Park and Pedal location for a low-stress, healthy and green way to go to the Sunday afternoon game, and support the new Bicycle Parking Pavilion - its secure and free. Thanks to the Padres for creating this great green alternative for getting to the ballgame! Ride and Learn - Sunday, March 9. Part learning experience, part coffee jaunt, these rides welcome all riders, but are geared for beginners. If you would like an introduction to road riding, riding in a group, or just a nice morning out with some fun bicyclists, this is a ride for you. The rides are typically 8-10 miles, flat, and we do it at a pace that encourages talking and interaction (somewhere around 8-12 mph average, depending on the group). We talk a lot, stop a lot, and usually eat or at least bring doughnuts, while getting information about riding in various situations. No registration required - just show up and ride! Meet at Cactus Park (10610 Ashwood St., Lakeside) for a ride along some very lovely bike paths and streets in Lakeside. Meet at 9:30 for 9:45 start. Please remember that Daylight Savings time starts this weekend. Change your clocks (Forward 1 Hour) Saturday night before you go to bed. We hope to see you Sunday. Volunteer Night Wednesday, March 12th. We'll be folding our bi-monthly membership mailing, trading stories, and having good food and drinks. 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at our downtown office, 740 13th St, Suite 220. Don't miss it!
