Jibe Volunteer Appreciation
So, after Project Ride Smart in the morning, Bridgeway Island Bike Club in the early afternoon, I went to the local regional park where Jibe was hosting a celebration for all the people who have volunteered for Jibe. The tacos were great and I was glad I didn’t have to make dinner, but I was also tired … so after eating and a little bit of visiting, I took one picture and went home!
Bridgeway Island Bike Club
EVERYone in the bike club wanted to ride to the levee near the Port of Sacramento. Jim Brown researched the best route and led our group of 17 kids and 3 adults.
There are some great dirt paths, but the big attraction were the jumps. 
There were some heart stopping moments
and a couple of tumbles.
and they all want to do it again next week.
One boy crashed twice and his bike was totally messed up. I felt so bad for him, I offered to get his bike fixed. I knew I could ask my neighbor Ray Krause if he would do it. Ray said YES!
Stonegate Bike Club
Today we practiced all the skills learned over the past 8 weeks as we rode to Starbucks. Christopher really enjoyed his donut! He’s so much fun to have in the club.
They’re all fun to have in the club. A bunch of happy kids who like to ride bikes!
Bike Rodeo
at River City High School in West Sacramento this morning. I set up the skills course.
Three bike club members from Bridgeway Island came to help.

Project Ride Smart at Regency Park
Such a fun week.
Christy, wearing an orange shirt in the center is also the Parent Champion at Regency Park. Every morning, students who walk to school check in with her to record the time they’ve spent walking or riding their bikes to school. They earn rewards for their efforts.
Friday was Street Ride #3 and it was a bit warm. The sprinklers in the park were on and we let the kids ride through them. Of course a few kids came back totally soaked. The bikes were parked, we all went back to the classroom, and returned the jerseys and helmets. One boy came up to me and said, “Can I have a hug?” Well, yes. However, I should have noticed that gleam in his eye – he was one of the totally soaked kids. Then it became a group hug. Oh yay – ?
Westfield Village Bike Club
Today at Westfield Village, Jose’s bike was somewhere else being repaired, Tribe didn’t show up. So it was just me and AngelLillie. After practicing a few times, she was able to execute a perfect left turn, we went for a little ride and still had a half hour to go so I taught her how safely ride to her house and back to school. I met her dad. Then we discovered the newly-opened Sycamore Trail. As we rode side by side, she said, “I really like riding without the boys. I wish we could do this every week.” Smile!

Bridgeway Island Bike Club
The new West Sacramento neighborhoods near Stonegate Elementary and Bridgeway Island have wonderful protected trails for riding and walking.
This is half of the bike club. Jim Brown rode with the other half of the club.
