Ride to Davis

Five of us rode in from N Natomas and met the SABA team at the Tree House Cafe in W Sacramento on Saturday morning.

We rode W Capitol Ave, with great bicycle lane markings, to the Yolo Causeway along I-80. Three miles of loud traffic noise on your left side.

Flat tire #1: Laurie. She had everything needed to change out the tube.

Flat tire #2 was … my bike. And I don’t carry anything to fix a flat. While the group continued on to the US Bicycling Hall of Fame, I walked to a nearby bike shop who fixed my flat tire quickly.

We all met at the train station and took the 12:43 train back to Sacramento.

Great ride! Lots of fun and we rode over 30 miles. Me, Agueda, BarbaraL, Brenda, Laurie:

Huge thanks to Pierson, Deb and Jeremiah from SABA.

Mas Fuego

There’s a new restaurant about a mile from my house. This afternoon, my across-the-alley neighbor, Kathie, and I tried out the “soft opening” menu with limited selections. It was good, but we need to go back when the full menu is available.

Wednesday at the lodge

Susan and Edith contacted me re a presentation to our community, Four Seasons Westshore, by our City Councilmember for District 1, Lisa Kaplan.

Susan and Edith did a great job organizing this event. I thought I had the easy part, moderator.

So happy, more than 100 residents attended.

City Council meeting

The Active Transportation Commission presented their recommendations to the City Council Tuesday evening. Four commissioners were there to support Chairperson Ali Doerr-Westbrook’s presentation. And it was noted by Mayor Steinberg, the Council doesn’t often see 20 public comments in support of active transportation. That’s a good sign.

Sports Saturday

Today it took 3 of us to get everyone where they needed to be. Carson had a soccer seeding tournament, four 20-minute games spaced between 9 and 3 pm.

In between games 3 and 4, we went to Sophia’s volleyball game at St Francis. Because Christian Brothers and St Francis are both Catholic schools, these games are known as Holy Court (in football, a person goes to the Holy Bowl).

They were tied after game 2, but I needed to leave with Carson to get to his 3:00 game.

Sadly CB lost the third game. Meanwhile, Avery was in El Dorado Hills playing football for the Jesuit Raiders and needed to be picked up. It’s hot this afternoon. The final game is over. Team photo:

Young families are quite busy.
