On Martin Luther King Jr Day. We met at Beal’s Point at Folsom Lake.
There were 11 of us. Dani and Kathy were celebrating their winter birthdays.
We rode downhill to Lake Natoma and we were below the fog line.
22 mile loop. Good ride. Afterwards, we had a great lunch at Flower Farm.
Miller Park on a very foggy Saturday morning. We had six people for the three of us. James was there to practice and get a pre-lesson for his upcoming Project Ride Smart classes at his elementary school. We left the main teaching area and rode the surrounding roads.
For the past two years, way too many people have used “Chair” as my first name, not just at meetings but also at social occasions. On Thursday night at the Active Transportation Commission (in Old City Hall) a new chair was elected to serve for the next year.
Carson on Sunday at St Ignatius.
Avery at St Ignatius on Tuesday.

This winter, Carson is playing in two basketball leagues plus flag football. Busy schedule. Today, he had four basketball games in a row at two different locations. Due to a time conflict, he played in just three. St Ignatius.
Rio Americano High School.
For the last few weeks, I’ve been relearning some dormant sewing skills. I haven’t made formal wear in over 30 years, but now I’m at the beginning of making a prom dress. The prom hasn’t been scheduled yet, but I need to start now .. as in, what if this doesn’t turn out well and Sophia needs to shop for a dress at the last minute. After the pattern arrived, I traced the pieces needed according to her measurements, found some fabric in a drawer that would work, and sewed a “muslin” – a practice garment to check the fit.
The muslin fit great. Next, order fabric. So far, so good.
January 2 at Frends – there is no I in Frends. A few of us gathered to talk about rides we really want to do again in 2026. BarbaraL, Anya, Laurie, Lori, Millan, Galib, Brenda:
Even though rain was predicted, I led a Jibe ride on New Year’s Day. The first surprise was a photojournalist from KOVR Channel 13 was at the meet-up location at Peregrine Park. He interviewed me and Jim. There was a clip on the evening news!
Eight of us started out but a low battery and a flat tire shortly into the ride caused two people to drop out early. We had rain at the beginning and end but a good dry middle section.
My rain cape worked really well. 34 miles. A good start to a new year.
