Here’s a 5 mile bike ride that takes you past several parks and local neighborhoods.
Choose an entry point and then travel the course clockwise. Biking clockwise will give you the most right hand turns, which are much safer than left hand turns. Please stop and make sure the coast is clear when you make a left hand turn.
CAUTION: There are some intersections without any stop signs in the Mackin Avenue area. Assume cars will not slow down.
- ALWAYS wear a helmet
- WEAR bright colors – florescent yellow or florescent orange are best.
- DON’T LOOK DOWN at a cell phone. Homeowners often walk out from their houses between hedges to begin walks. If you’re looking down, you’ll hit them.
Turn by turn directions starting at Arrowhead Park (the corner of Irvington and Arrowhead). (You can join in anywhere along the route and follow the turns.). And here’s a link to the West Santa Clara 5 mile route on Google Maps
