Bike Patrol

Jibe hosted a meeting with the American River Bike Patrol at CharQterie on Wednesday. Bike Patrol is hoping to recruit new people to join, get trained and offer assistance on Natomas trails.

Peak Adventures

Wednesday morning, I had a meeting at Peak Adventures on the CSUS campus.

The staff was curious about the ways in which Peak Adventures and SABA could work together. Perhaps classes for students at CSUS who want to learn how to ride a bike. Sure, SABA can do that.

Tahoe bike ride

On Saturday, 8 of us met at Olympic Valley Park for an all-trail ride. There were 7 riders: Brenda, Laurie, Maria, Kimberly, BarbaraL, me, Lennore. Kimberly’s daughter took the picture, she was also our SAG.

South of Tahoe City:

Meeks Bay Resort, our turn-around point. The beach was very crowded.

There’s a bit of a climb out of Meeks Bay.

Lunch at Bridgetender:

35-mile ride with great friends and beautiful scenery.

Final week before school starts

School starts next week. Sophia will be a junior at Christian Brothers. Avery-8th and Carson-4th at St Ignatius. In between the boys going fishing in the morning and Sophia’s volleyball tryouts in the late afternoon .. Grandma! Charlie is always in the middle of whatever was going and sometimes it makes him look like a wheelchair dog.

Lunch at Zócalo.

Sunday bike ride

Thank you Lennore for organizing a bike ride for the beginners we’ve taught how to ride a bike. Uugii learned at Jibe’s Learn to Ride. Erin came to a recent SABA Learn 2 Ride class at REI, she’s also a friend of Lennore’s.

Lennore is an excellent instructor and a great mentor for new riders.

Chickens

I think my mom and dad are smiling up in heaven right now because their granddaughter and great-grandchildren are raising chickens. These three chickens, each specially selected, will live a very good life. They certainly have luxury accommodations. Hello Ruby, Gertrude, and Lois.

Learn 2 Ride

Today’s class was all kids. The boy on the right learned to ride within minutes.

Two participants came back for a second lesson and were pedaling fairly quickly. A little practice at home over the past week and they were set.

This Cub Scout troop was working on their Bicycling Badge. First step, learn to ride. One of them already knew how to ride but came to class to help the others.
