2025 Mountain View-Palo Alto Holiday Lights Ride

📅 Saturday, December 14th. Meet at 5:15 p.m. Rollout shortly after to accommodate those arriving via Caltrain.

🗺️ Location: We'll kick things off at the Mountain View Transit Center. This festive journey will be a 13-mile loop from Mountain View to Christmas Tree Lane in Palo Alto. However, we will coordinate a bike pool for folks to travel to Mountain View from Palo Alto via Caltrain ahead of the rollout time. Palo Alto residents are also more than welcome to meet us enroute to Palo Alto or depart after arriving at Christmas Tree Lane in Palo Alto. Please reach out to [email protected] if you plan to meet the group enroute.

🚲 How We Ride: We will navigate the streets as a slow rolling bicycle bus (we will all stay grouped together) and will occasionally stop for pictures. We encourage you to decorate your bicycles with lots and lots of holiday lights!

🧤 Attire: Please dress in warm layers to keep cozy while we ride! We recommend long sleeves, leggings under your pants, gloves, and beanies or caps under your helmet.

🙋 Ride Support: Some ride volunteers are needed to help manage the bicycle bus - any somewhat experienced rider with a cell phone who can show up 15 minutes early should qualify. If you'd like to help, please reserve yourself a Volunteer Ride Support ticket!
Note: We won't be prepared to support bike repairs during the ride. Please plan accordingly (e.g., have someone available you can call for pick up if needed).

🌟 Experience the Magic: Immerse yourself in the enchanting holiday lights as we explore Mountain View and Palo Alto. You'll be amazed by the stunning displays that light up the night.

🎄 Spread the Cheer: This is not just a bike ride; it's a chance to spread joy, positivity, and the holiday spirit throughout the community.

Mark your calendars, invite your friends and family, and let's pedal together into the holiday season! Don't miss out on this unforgettable journey through the holiday lights.

We look forward to riding with you and enjoying some holiday cheer!
