Great group on today’s ride. 11 riders, 10 ebikes, 5 new to this route-and they loved it. On the Larkspur ferry:
Leaving from the Ferry Building.
From the top of the first short but steep climb.

Great ride with great friends. 34 miles.
Terri and I had lunch at Obo’ (great food) before going to B St Theatre.
Dracula – A Comedy of Terrors – featuring a total hunk.
I picked up the boys from school, then took Carson to baseball practice. I decided to stay and read a book recommended by Carson – The Tiger Rising by Kate DiCamillo. After practice we went to Sophia’s volleyball game at Christian Brothers.
One of my favorite things to do: take people to and pick them up from the airport which is just 4 miles away. Curbside service plus free parking in front of my house. What’s not to like? Dottie and Maria were off to Colorado for a few days.
In the evening, I went to Terri’s for Steve’s excellent margaritas.

SABA partnered with Community Shop Class and Sierra Service Project to create Community Bike Shop, Oak Park’s new non-profit, community-driven bike repair center, training facility, and retail store. Today was the grand opening.
A fun eclectic place to explore:
The bike shop area:
Classroom area:
Pizza from Luigi’s and a very good music duo:
A large outdoor area with a garden, huge barbecue, and pop-ups with misters.
School started and so has a new sports season. Carson is playing soccer and fall baseball.
And he pitched in the 6th inning to save the team’s one-run lead.

A successful event.
I’ve been getting ready for weeks for a big (to me) event in Elk Grove. A bike rodeo for 55 Cub Scouts, ages 5-11. I came up with a plan, hired 3 LCIs and 4 SABA staff members, and purchased supplies ..
Now, fingers crossed, I’ve thought of everything and tomorrow will go well. According to the SABA website http://sacbike.org I am the Education Manager .. here goes a new part-time job.
