Bicycle San Mateo on the Tour de Peninsula Ride

July 22nd, 2014

The San Mateo County Parks Foundation and Whole Foods Market proudly sponsor the Tour de Peninsula. For 23 years, riders have taken bicycle rides in San Mateo on routes through several county parks, enjoying the scenery, watching the boats, and listening to the music. This is a beautiful day in the sun, filled with activities for all ages:

• Live music by the Tribal Blues Band
• The Coyote Point Museum, or Curiodyssey, offering information about the California wildlife
• Magic Mountain Playground, a play area for toddlers to teenagers
• Picnic tables and grills to enjoy means from home or event concessions

Proceeds from this exciting event support the San Mateo County Parks system. These bicycle rides in San Mateo have generated millions of dollars since they began in 1998. Eucalyptus Picnic Area serves as home base for the event. Riders will be assigned to one of four categories based on ability. The Kids trail is two to six miles long, beginner is 20 miles, intermediate 31 miles, and advanced is 63 miles.

For this event, cheating is not cheating. That is, riders are encouraged to use short cuts if they are available. On the advanced trail, the Simon Says Shortcut will cut the distance to 56 miles.

Onsite registration is from 6 a.m. to 8 a.m. at the Eucalyptus Picnic Area. Ride fees are $25 for young people 12 to 17 years old and $50 for adults until July 31. The fees then increase to $25 and $55 respectively, and you must register on site. Children under age 12 can participate free.

Our innovative apartments are just two miles southwest of Coyote Point County Recreational Area. You can ride your bike there!
