In Wheatland. Nine of us met at Sammie’s in E Nicolaus and rode the long way to Wheatland. On Scheiber Rd:
Bishop’s Pumpkin Farm. So many more people this year, long lines at Mrs B’s Bakery. I stayed with the bikes while everyone headed in different directions.
Maria, Laurie, Rosalyn, Jane, me, Cheryl, BarbaraL, Lorge and Brenda:
On the way back, a brief stop at Salle Family Orchards.
Fun group of people to ride with! 32 miles in great weather.
Our birthdays are just a week apart, definitely time to celebrate. A beautiful day at Alamar Marina.
At Natomas Park Elementary. Monday and Tuesday – blacktop drill day #1, two classes each morning.
Wednesday: after-school coaching. Barbara, Anya and I got 6 of 7 students riding.
Wednesday and Thursday: Classroom instruction.
The team. Mrs Byrd is the PE teacher we work with. Gina is the lead instructor.
On Monday. Pinxtos (Basque for “small bites” and pronounced “pinchos”) and Clam dip. And wine, of course.
To celebrate two September birthdays (Justin and me), Thais and Lenin arranged for a new experience – Rail Explorers in Amador County, near Ione.
Cars hold four people or two. Everyone pedals, the right rear person pedals the electric assist and controls the brake.
There was a short break after 4 miles while all the cars were turned around.
What a great experience to do together as a family.
On Saturday morning, I met Brenda, Laurie, Lori, Maria, and Sheila at Olympic Valley Park in Olympic Valley. We rode the Truckee River Trail to Tahoe City
then south along the west shore of Lake Tahoe.
There was a great descent to Meeks Bay Resort, our turn-around point.
Back to Tahoe City where we stopped for a late lunch at Bridgetender Tavern. A different view of the Truckee River on the short ride to where we’d parked.
What a great ride! 35 miles. Me, Brenda, Lori, Laurie, Maria, Sheila:
Friday afternoon, I drove to Old Greenwood to spend the night with Maria and Tim plus their weekend guests, Hans and Kathy, Penelope and Brad. Fun people, great evening.
Thursday and Friday at Natomas Park Elementary – NPE. Early arrival time – 7:15, two fifth-grade classes each day. Before helmet-fitting, a couple of videos.
While Gina, Jeff and I individually fit helmets, everyone else worked on a bike parts worksheet.
After school on Thursday, BarbaraL and I did a one-hour coaching session for non-riders. Success for the one student who showed up at 2:00.
The third Thursday of the month. The photo that will be a part of our 2024 Annual Report to the City Council early next year:
