Bike ride to see Santa

Seven of us rode to Old Sac this afternoon. Maria, Brenda, Laura, Stacey, Carol, BarbaraB:

Santa’s special helper is BarbaraL who arranged for us to see Santa Rick before the doors opened to the general public. We rolled our bikes along the boardwalk on the far side of the building and into the theater. We parked anywhere we could find room. Picture time!

We gathered in the lobby to exit, but we needed to be altogether because the public would enter immediately after.

Thank you so much BarbaraL for arranging this special visit with Santa. Such a special experience.

We rode on to the North Pole. The Polar Express train is VERY popular. Tickets go on sale in August and sell out quickly. It’s only a 3-mile roundtrip train ride, but a lot of fun for families.

So much hot chocolate is served on the train that a special storage tank is needed:

We noticed a new bicycle bridge is rideable but ends immediately on the other side of I-5. The Del Rio Trail begins here and will go 5 miles to Freeport.
