at Four Seasons Westshore. A short walk up the street to my job site at reception. Two students from Inderkum HS Bike Tech program came to volunteer. Paul also volunteered and so helpful since I was a bit hampered.

Thursday
Charlie follows me everywhere and plops down as close as he can get. Keeping a watchful eye on me.
After dropping off Carson at his Little League game, I drove to City Hall for this month’s Active Transportation Commission meeting.
Monday – Wednesday
Last Friday, I led the first day of street rides for Project Ride Smart at Regency Park Elementary. I had the Blue group – excellent cyclists, ready to learn more on our rides. Every one of the four classes was great and I had no sweep and a couple of groups with 9 students. I forgot to take pictures, but no problem, I would be back on Monday and Tuesday.
However, on Monday morning, as we were getting all the bikes out of the classroom where they were stored, I tripped on a kickstand and fell. HARD on my left knee. Not good. The PRS team and school personnel moved into action. Cheryl picked up me and my bike and took “us” home. I was able to drive myself to a Kaiser urgent care. Whew! Nothing broken. Two days of rest and I would be just fine (really?). This was me Monday through Wednesday doing RICE: rest, ice, compression, elevate.
Thursday. Nope, I am not 100%. In fact, I need two more weeks of RICE. Sigh.

Bike Around the Buttes
A steady rain all morning. 600 riders signed up, 167 showed up. A choice of routes – how long do you want your misery to last?
Brenda, Lori, and Laurie rode the 20-mile route:
BarbaraL rode the 40-mile route, thankful for hot water at a rest stop from friendly volunteers.
I was supposed to ride, but the predicted weather conditions convinced me otherwise. I made the correct decision.

Adult Learn to Ride
In front of the Bike Tech classroom at Inderkum High School:
Practicing gliding:
This person actually came in on a small e-bike WITH a throttle (at far left in above picture) so she had great balance, but was dependent on the throttle. She wanted to learn how to get going using “power pedal” – here, she put her left foot on the pedal, raised it to the 10 o’clock position, eyes on the horizon, and pushed off. Success.
Our team: Christy, Lennore, Kathy:

On Tuesday, Terri, Elaine, and I had dinner out.
