FCBC Members-Only Bike Bus and Rail Adventure to Yosemite Valley with the Merced Bicycle Coalition



All aboard for a new FCBC members-only Bike, Bus and Rail Adventure to meet up with the Merced Bicycle Coalition next Sunday Oct 14, 2018!


If you are interested in the FCBC Merced Bicycle trip to Yosemite Valley, please let us know if you plan to attend so we can warn YARTS if there are a large number of bikes on board? Alternatively there are bike rentals in Yosemite


So far Ed, Thor, Gene and I plan to take Amtrak up to Merced to catch the 9:10 am YARTS to arrive Yosemite Valley Visitor Center at 11:40, have lunch and ride around until we would leave the Visitor Center at 3:50pm, arriving back in Merced at 6:17pm for a quick bite possibly before the return trip. Might be a good idea to bring snacks?


If you plan to take Amtrak  from Fresno it leaves at 7:53am arriving at 8:55am in Merced, and returns 7:36pm from Merced arriving Fresno at 8:36pm and costs $28 round trip. YARTS tickets are also $28 adults and $20 seniors round trip.


If buses and trains are not your thing- feel free to meet up with everyone at the Visitor Center at 11:40am.
