This was our biggest ride of the year. We met at Leroy F Greene Academy at 8 am and rode 4.5 miles to the Amtrak station in downtown Sacramento.
L-R: Adam, Jack, Julian
We got on the Capitol Corridor train heading west. We had to board the car with bicycle storage.
The bikes are stored upright and it’s not that easy to lift the bike up and secure it. We were lucky to have Adam’s dad, Brian, join us on this ride.
We got off at the first stop, Davis. Today was Loopalooza – a 12 mile bike loop with 12 stations of information and activities. We started at Station 7 – keeping your bike secure. There was a raffle here and Julian won! – a U-lock and cable locking system.
We watched a game of cricket for a few minutes.
Jack gets advice from a bicycle mechanic.
Coach was proud when everyone completed the drill course using all appropriate signals.
No problems on the figure 8 course either.
We rode the entire loop and ended back where we started. We received a group certificate!
We had a quick lunch and rode back to the train station. Back in Old Sacramento:
Total miles = 23. Another very successful ride.
