Leo did a great job organizing this ride for a large diverse group of riders.

The bridge leaving Winters, left turn ahead onto country roads. I rode sweep.

Our turn-around point in Davis at a park with restrooms. We rested, had something to eat, and visited. Some people were brand new to the group. In fact, one of them rode ahead and promptly got lost! He made his own way back to Winters – but, lesson learned when orienting new cyclists at the beginning of the ride.

Congratulations Jeorgianna – who just finished taking the Better on Bikes classes and who has never ridden more than 10 miles at one time – she finished the 25-mile ride and looked strong.

Merrilyn and I made one more trip to Justin’s to process more walnuts. Because of rain showers, Justin spent about 8 hours (thank you!) raking up the last of them on the ground. Twenty big black plastic bags worth. Justin set up the chicken wire drying screen on sawhorses. Merrilyn and I sorted through 12 of the plastic bags to get 16 grocery bags into my vehicle.

Thank you Merrilyn for helping me again. Many hands made for shorter work!
