[come celebrate the new sharrows in Solana Beach]

BikeWalkSolana, in conjunction with the San Diego County Bicycle Coalition, WalkSanDiego, and the Solana Beach Chamber of Commerce, is pleased to announce the upcoming Solana Beach JOY RIDE, a free community bicycle ride to be held Sunday, September 22.  The ride is roughly 2.6 miles and is open to riders of all ages. It will start immediately following the City of Solana Beach’s 11AM ribbon cutting ceremony for the Grand Re-Opening of the 101 to be held at Plaza Street and Lomas Santa Fe Drive at Highway 101.  The JOY RIDE celebrates recent improvements made for bicyclists and pedestrians along the well-traveled and widely popular route through the City.

The JOY RIDE will start at the ribbon cutting and head southbound on Highway 101 using the sharrows and then the bike lane before turning right on Border Avenue. Riders will head north on Sierra Avenue as far as West Cliff Street and return to the start using Highway 101.  Along the JOY RIDE route, bicyclists will have the opportunity to stop for a free raffle ticket at B&L Bike and Sports, Revolution Bike Shop, San Diego Electric Bike Company, the Trek Superstore, and Velo Hangar.  The raffle, for prizes generously donated by the bike shops, will be held at the end of the ride. 

To participate in the JOY RIDE, bring your friends, family and bicycle to Plaza Street and Lomas Santa Fe Drive at Highway 101 on Sunday, September 22, 2013 at 11AM. The JOY RIDE is FREE. Bicyclists are encouraged to practice safe biking, obey all traffic signals and buy local in support of our local bike shops and other sponsors and businesses along the route.

Did I hear the word "bike raffle"?  You know where I'll be.

Larry - the five bike shops in Solana Beach are each donating 3 items to be raffled. Although there was no limit placed on the value of each item, a full bike donation would be indeed generous. Enjoy the ride but don't be disappointed if a Dogma isn't one of the raffle prizes. Karl
