Bike to Work Day Energizer Station
In coordination with the Silicon Valley Bicycle Coalition, the Friends of GRPG will host an Energizer Station from 6 – 9 am on May 15th. We’ll be set up along the trail, just outside our building on 438 Coleman Avenue. Stop by for coffee, pastries, and information about trails and cycling in the South Bay. In addition to participating in Bike to Work Day, Friends of GRPG staff members are taking part in the month long Team Bike Challenge sponsored by www.511.org. Lucy, Jennifer, Linda, Phil, and Leslee – team GRPG Rocks! - will earn points each day in May that they ride a bicycle instead of driving to work, school, or the store.

Help Keep San Jose Clean Volunteer for National River Clean Up Day 

The winter storms brought us some much needed rain, but left behind some unwanted litter and debris along the Guadalupe River. With each rise and fall of the river, trash and materials were brought downstream and left either on the flood plain north of downtown San Jose, or washed out towards Alviso and the San Francisco Bay. Take your spring cleaning out into your community and join Friends of Guadalupe River Park & Gardens for National River Cleanup Day Saturday, May 17 from 9:00 am -12:00 pm. Pick up trash, remove debris and see what strange and interesting items have been deposited along the rivers banks. Advanced registration is required. Please wear close-toed shoes, long pants, and sun protection and be ready for a morning of handy help and hard work.  We’ll provide litter sticks, bags and gloves.

To register for this event call (408) 298-7657 or send e-mail to info@grpg.org. This event will meet at the Visitor & Education Center located at 438 Coleman Ave, San Jose, 95110.

Note: The Friends of GRPG are coordinating the clean up for the Guadalupe River between Coleman Avenue and HW 880, just one of many sites.  If you are interested in other sites, click here.
