Back-to-back games on Sunday. Carson came in for the last 2 innings in the first game to save the lead. The Closer.
Batting in the second game. At one point, Carson tried to steal home but was caught in a pickle. As the catcher threw the ball to the 3rd baseman. Carson dove between the 3rd baseman’s legs and was .. SAFE!
So much fun! SABA’s annual fundraising event. This year at Sierra 2 Center.
I purchased a table and invited all the League Cycling Instructors who, in the past year, made my job as Education Manager so easy and they represented SABA in the most professional way: Joel, Winona, Kathy, Barbara, Deanna, Wes, Charlie, Matt, and Becky. The projects they worked on included: City of Elk Grove bike rodeos, Trails in Bloom community bike ride, Learn 2 Ride classes once/month, City of Rancho Cordova CEIF grant events, W Sacramento bike safety classes, Sacramento County Safe Routes to School San Juan USD, and more.

SABA’s new Executive Director Rebecca Garrow. Also a friend for many years. I mentored her when she first started teaching Project Ride Smart. She was a natural, and quickly competent to take any role. I was thrilled when she took the ED position at SABA.
Bonus: I donated the Yuba Mundo cargo bike I’ve had in my garage for way too long. I bought it in 2016 and used it a bit with Sophia (age 7) and Avery (age 5). Thais and Lenin had it for a while. Tonight at the conclusion of the silent auction, the Yuba Mundo found a new home with a young family with a 2-year old.
This program concludes on October 31 so the goal now is increasing the miles students can ride.
Crossing the American River and headed to Sac State.
About 21 miles. Everyone did great.
Bacon jalapeño quesadillas with guacamole and sour cream and Artichoke dip with crackers. And wine and great conversation.
The season is almost over. Tonight was the last home game and Senior Night.
And then .. surprise .. Sophia and a teammate sang the national anthem.
Sophia is one of the team captains and student body president.
Jibe needed a last-minute substitute for an LCI (League Cycling Instructor) for the final night of Earn a Bike, a Jibe program that rewards participants, after they complete eight hours of bicycle driver education, with a sizable monetary reward to be used toward a new bike or bicycle-related supplies. We met at the bike tech classroom at Inderkum HS at 5:00.
Kathy was the lead. I rode mid-group. Becky rode sweep.
Great program in the N Natomas community. Fun to be able to help out at the last minute.
Adrienne, Linda, and Kathy. Always fun to catch up and we talked about an upcoming trip we are going to take.
at St Ignatius.
at Miller Park with Kathy and Joel. This is such a fun class to teach. One person started pedaling right away, she just needed to remember. I pulled her from the group and we went for a longer ride. As we rode all of Miller Park and around the block on Ramp Way, Front St and Broadway, I taught her lane positioning, hand signals, shifting, proper turns. Totally fun Level 2 lesson.
I love driving out to Justin’s to complete whatever the next task is. Justin gathered the rest of the walnuts from last weekend, watered, and weed-eated. I started with this
and finished with this.
And the first two brown grocery bags of this year’s harvest were taken home.
