Burrito Bandito on Placer to Downtown Redding and back for Burritos

Before taking off on this short ride, we will learn how to do the ABC Quick check on our bikes and discuss roadway positioning for bicyclists and communication with drivers.  This ride will take you on paved roads through quiet neighborhood streets into downtown Redding to show riders how to ride from West Redding into downtown.  Ride starts at Burrito Bandito in the Holiday Market shopping complex on Placer and Buenaventura. We will do a short loop around downtown. The ride back to Burrito Bandito will be uphill, but we will show you how to avoid the steepest hills! Bring water and money to purchase dinner following the ride if you choose?. Two lucky riders will win a burrito to enjoy after the ride thanks to Redding Trails and Bikeways Council. Ride distance: 5-6 miles.

This ride is one of three in a series of Bike Abouts –beginner friendly rides to learn how to explore your neighborhood and community by bike. Whether you want to do a quick errand by bike, ride to school or work, or just get out to enjoy nature, these rides are for you! The rides in this series will feature safety tips for riding in traffic, allow you experience the comfort of riding in a group, and familiarize you to routes that may be different from motor vehicle routes. We will provide a bike pump, so if your tires need air, come a little early. Please make sure you have a bike in good working order, bring a water bottle and helmet (required for rides). Rides will be conducted by Anna Blasco and Sara Sundquist, Certified League of American Bicyclist Instructors. All riders will be entered into a drawing for prizes. Ride will be cancelled if heavy rain. Be safe, follow the rules of the road, and have fun! Sign Up for 1 or all of these rides HERE.
