Hello RouteArrows Family, Cutting to the chase, we need your help if RouteArrows is going to survive. Earlier this year, RouteArrows sales were on pace to be a record-setting year, then the pandemic pulled the rug out from under everyone. Events of every kind have been impacted, either being postponed or just cancelled. We are deeply saddened that many events will not return.

Silicon Valley Bicycle Coalition suggested that we all “bike to wherever” instead! I always work from home so “biking to work” just means going out for a ride and returning! So I decided to bike up what I call “Alpe d’ Wastez”, one of the summits in the old landfill-turned-park here in Mountain View. This spire towers over the Shoreline Park and Amphitheatre at a lofty 2,895 cm (about 95 ft!) The...
