Lucy and I rode the Sacramento Northern Bike Trail. We started at Depot Park and rode to the end at Elverta Rd, then almost to Robla and back. SEVEN miles! Go Lucy.

On Wednesday, after I checked the weather and saw a N wind at 19 mph, I decided to walk, not ride. I haven’t walked in a while so I thought I could extend my usual 3 miles to something more. I decided to walk the dirt road to the west of Fisherman’s Lake Parkway. Discovery! The drainage canal almost looks like a small river.

I walked 4.7 miles! Yikes, I was tired.

On Wednesday Lucy and I rode a trail in Rio Linda.

On Thursday, Pete and I rode to Rio Linda, past the house I grew up in and Jim and Lucy’s, and back home along a small part of the Sacramento Northern Trail. Pete really liked riding these rural roads and being out in the country.

Today Pete and I rode downtown to take the last picture of a sculpture for a bike ride being promoted by SABA for May is Bike Month. Cyclists are supposed to visit 4 sculptures by Stephen Kaltenburg, take selfies in front of each, and post them to social media. This is my selfie in front of “Peace” at 555 Capitol Ave although this picture will only show up here because this blog is the only social media I do.

At Jim and Lucy’s with Archie and Sandy. Archie is recovering from back surgery so this was a big outing for him, 2 houses down from Jim and Lucy’s.

Pete’s wife Suzanne came with us to William Pond Park along the American River Parkway. Suzanne drove my car home, Pete and I rode back. It was about 20 beautiful miles.

I was the 30th house in our neighborhood to receive this personal concert. So fun. The drum is called a RavVast. I encourage everyone who reads this to go to Kirk’s YouTube channel to watch more of his performances. He’s currently creating an “Isolation” series of songs. Click on this link: Kirk Talon

Lucy got her bike out, dusted it off, got it serviced, bought a helmet and gloves, and went for her first ride in a very long time.

I loved her husband Jim’s response. He text me later in the afternoon: “Whatever you did today, KEEP IT UP!! Lucy is revitalized!!!” A ringing endorsement for bicycling. Thanks Jim.
