It's Super Bowl Sunday so we'll do a short route with a new road (Quimby Rd).

Meet Place: Starbucks at 6009 Snell Ave, San Jose (a.k.a. Snellbucks)
Meet time: 9:30 AM, kickstands up 10:00 AM (Please be on time)

Arrive with a full tank of gas. There's a gas station across from Starbucks. Make sure your bike is in good operating condition.
As usual we will break into groups depending on who shows up (to accommodate varying skill levels) if necessary. Everyone is expected to ride within their comfort level. Safety is our priority.
Experienced riders who wants to ride a mellow pace are always welcome. Volunteers for lead and sweep always welcome and appreciated.
Goal is for newbies & not so newbies to have a safe fun ride, learn new routes and meet new riders. Maybe, even learn from the more experienced riders.
Note: Some technical roads involved so we'll keep it mellow.

Route: (approximately 65 miles/2.5 hours)

Head east on Santa Teresa Blvd 6.1 mi
Turn left at Bailey Ave 1.1 mi
Continue on Malech Rd 2.2 mi
Turn right at Metcalf Rd and stop to regroup
