Everyone met at Beals Point at Folsom Lake at 7:15 am. Thank you Cheryl for driving BarbaraL and me AND our bikes to the start.
The students were picked up at Cordova High School for the short trip to Beals Point.
The mentors had a short meeting.
Lined up at 8a for the start but waiting ..
for the Channel 31 news crew from Good Day Sacramento to show up and do a few interviews.
They’re off! 32 miles to Discovery Park.
Meanwhile, Anahit and I were sagged to William Pond Park where Tom was waiting for us. Anahit learned to ride a bike when the program started in August. She made great progress but wasn’t quite ready for 32 miles.
We arrived shortly before the rest of the riders at Del Paso Blvd, about 2 miles from Discovery Park. The whole group, led by Anahit, would be escorted by officers on motorcycles. At left is Jim who drove the sag vehicle.
A new Trek bike for each of the students!
Thank you Brenda, Laurie and Lori for doing all the work needed to feed 120 people.
And finally, a BIG group photo.
