Beautify the Bike Path: Stevens Creek Trail

On Saturday, January 25th, we'll enjoy free breakfast and coffee at Red Rock Coffee before we pedal for 20 or so minutes along the scenic Stevens Creek Trail. As we approach the San Francisco Bay, we will reach trash hotspots and work together to clean up litter!

This unique event will bring you along for a ride with SVBC, Grassroots Ecology, and Friends of Stevens Creek Trail who collectively support a healthy use and environment of the creek trail.

Bring your bike, closed-toed shoes, a filled reusable water bottle, clothes that can get a bit dirty, and, if you're able: a bike trailer!!

We will provide all trash collection tools (gloves, trash grabbers, trash bags)

Here's the gameplan:

• If you'd like to go through a thorough pre-ride bike readiness check, please arrive to Red Rock Coffee at 9:30 AM. From 9:30-10:00, our ride leaders will show you how to conduct an Air-Brakes-Chain "Quick Check" on your bike, and help you make any needed adjustments before we ride.

• If you opt out of the ABC Quick Check Demo, please arrive at 10:00 AM at Red Rock Coffee for fresh hot coffee and some pastries.

• At 10:30, we'll depart from Red Rock Coffee to our pre-selected cleanup sites along the Stevens Creek Trail. That will be about 20-30 minutes of riding along the scenic Stevens Creek Trail!

• Our route will be up to 10 miles long, and the vast majority is along car-free streets or very light-traffic streets.

Interested in volunteering to help make this ride happen? When you get your ticket, register as a Volunteer Ride Leader to wear a vest, ride as a middle support or a sweep, and be trained in Ride Leadership. Volunteer Ride Leaders are expected to arrive no later than 9:30 AM.

This event is made possible with support from Valley Water's Safe, Clean, and Natural Flood Protection Program.
