That's a cool find.  I wasn't aware of those buses.  And named after 
the horse that pulled the buggy in the 19th Century, no less.

I'll have to go try it one evening to be certain, but it looks like 
the V line will get you from California Avenue Caltrain to PARC for 
the BayCHI program, but it stops running too early to get you back.

Take Caltrain to California Avenue (NOT downtown Palo Alto):

Southbound arrives: 5:42 pm at 6:06 pm
Northbound arrives: 5:11 pm or 6:11 pm

Take the V bus from California Avenue Caltrain (NOT downtown Palo 
Alto) at 6:05 pm or 6:40 pm and get off near Foothill 
Expressway.  From there, it's a short but steep walk up Hillview to PARC.

The Marguerite line has bike racks, so you might bring your bike and 
ride back down the hill to Caltrain after the program.

I like to bike from Caltrain to PARC, especially since PARC installed 
a shower in the Pake Auditorium lobby!  The ride from California 
Avenue is not difficult, but it is steep.  I prefer a longer but less 
steep route from San Antonio Caltrain:

After the meeting, it's a fast ride down Page Mill Road to California 
Avenue Caltrain.  Southbound Caltrain departs 9:40 pm, northbound 
departs 9:57 pm.

And, of course, always check the location of dinner before the 
meeting, often closer to Caltrain than PARC.  If you can get to the 
dinner by 5:30 pm, you can probably catch a ride to PARC, and we can 
make an announcement before the meeting asking for a ride back to Caltrain.
