Another Great Solstice Ride

~Gary Hedden

The ride begins

GreenTown led 30 cyclists on this year’s Summer Solstice Night Bike Ride. We had a good group of riders including families, members of the Los Altos High School Green Team, and one couple from San Jose. The weather was perfect as we headed from Peet’s on State Street, turned north on Los Altos Avenue, and continued to the Palo Alto Baylands Nature Preserve. The tide was up, there were lots of shorebirds, and the sunset was bright and beautiful. Leaving Baylands, we turned on our bike lights, headed home by way of the Stevens Creek Trail and made it back to Los Altos by about 9:30. It was dark but we all agreed it was a fun ride and it’s fun riding in the dark!

Fun times!
