Birthday #78 for me. Thank you bicycle friends who inundated my inbox with texts, including one person traveling in Scotland. Totally loved all the cards and phone calls from family and friends.

Lucy and I went to lunch at Sellands.

A great 37-mile ride this morning in perfect weather with Laurie. We rode the Sacramento River Trail except for a section along Riverside Ave where I discovered something new (to me) – Kobasic’s Candies – a 3rd and 4th generation of small-batch fine chocolate and candy makers. Now I have to go back when they’re open.

The last day of the program. Barbara and Kathy outlining today’s activities:

Triple Rings of Fire:

Mike came by to service a few bikes.

Jibe’s fleet of bicycles. At the end of the day, we stack all the bikes, run a cable through all of them, and finish with a strong u-lock.

Great day with good friends and co-workers.
At Miller Park. Every class, there is a fun experience and success. This participant learned quickly, in about 45 minutes.

She was so happy as she pedaled away. I told her mom, she must be a fun kid to raise and was a great example of “squealing with delight.”

Lots of cyclists ride through our teaching area along the Sacramento River Trail. This morning, friends stopped by to say hello. Laurie, Brenda,

Paul, Lennore, with LCIs Wes and Kathy:
