Baseball
Carson had a baseball tournament all weekend at Ciavarella Park. The weather was great. And the new bridge along I-80 over the American Bridge is a great shortcut.
Just after you cross the bridge, Ciavarella is just off to the right about 1/4 mile away … down there:
But no access. Instead you have to ride about a mile farther and exit at Glen Hall Park, then ride a mile back. Great baseball game, lots of exciting plays.

Saturday morning at Cordova HS:
Our turn-around point:
Almost noon, time to wrap up.
Bus audit
I was invited to be a part of a bus audit with AARP and SacRT for a section of the bus route on Marysville Blvd in Del Paso Heights.
A quick-build project was recently completed which means some visible improvements have been made to this high-injury roadway. There’s so much more to be done and the City of Sacramento is looking for grants to take the next step.
Crosswalk in very poor condition. This area is not part of the quick build.
We boarded a SacRT bus here – Sarah Poe, in the blue shirt, is a Senior Planner with Sacramento Regional Transit.
and got off 2 stops later in front of Grant High School.
Thank you AARP for allowing a few members of the public to give feedback on Sac RT services and the current state of improvements on Marysville Blvd.
Bike Rodeo
Tuesday evening at Elk Grove Regional Park – a huge park. We were expecting up to 100 Cub Scouts. Our League Cycling Instructor team: Michael (recently hired to take on most of my projects plus many other tasks at SABA, not yet an LCI but will take the next available training), Kathy, me, Lorge, Wes, Joel:
The team from Elk Grove – they are at Station 1 and do registration and helmet fitting.
SABA mechanics at Station 2: Ken and Doug
Just 26 Cub Scouts practiced skills at the bike rodeo and we were able to close down a half hour early.
Birthday dinner
Elaine’s birthday is one month and one day before mine. Tonight we celebrated both our birthdays with Terri at
Our first time at this restaurant and a very good experience. Not crowded, not noisy, great food and even better, good friends.
B St Theatre
Terri and I had lunch at Cafe Bernardo before going to B St for a 2p play.
Five actors played multiple parts while John Lamb was on stage and added the quite entertaining sound effects.
Steamer trunks were borrowed from many local organizations and theaters. The stage design and lighting were excellent.
Velo Lancers
Saturday morning at Cordova High School. My second Saturday helping Barbara with the Velo Lancer program.
Volleyball
As a senior, this is Sophia’s final year playing volleyball for Christian Brothers High School.
American River Bridge
Today was supposed to be the official ribbon cutting ceremony to open the new American River Bridge connecting the Arden Fair and Cal Expo side of the river to downtown along I-80. The ceremony was postponed, no reason was given. Brenda and I went to scout out the ride on our own.
26 miles.
