A beautiful morning in E Nicolaus, a bit chilly, flocks of geese honking overhead.
Thank you Becky for wanting to gather walnuts with me. What a good friend! Becky raked all the walnuts from 15 trees into piles. I picked up about half the piles, sorted out the debris and filled 5 grocery bags to take home. We finished sorting the debris and left a thick layer of walnuts to finish drying. Justin picked up the rest of the walnuts later in the day.
At home, the walnuts went into stacked drying trays in the garage.
Sue Teranishi invited me to this annual event which took place at Camp Pollock. ECOS = Environmental Council of Sacramento.
Four awards were given, but we were most excited about the Transportation Award which was given to Sacramento Area Bicycle Advocates. Sue, Deb, Jennifer Finton/Executive Director, Breathe California:
Fourteen of us met in Davis at Lake Blvd and Russell Blvd on Saturday morning.
We rode about 13 miles to Winters. Great bike parking in front of Steady Eddy’s.
We took a one-hour rest stop for lunch and to visit the Winters Harvest Festival.
This is a popular ride organized and led by Leo – everybody loves the rides Leo leads. I got to ride sweep – my favorite place on a group ride.
On the way back with just 4.5 miles to go, one of our riders had a flat tire. Sheila and I stayed with the rider while Leo rode back to his parked vehicle, then drove to pick up the stranded rider and her bike.
