Wellness Fair
John F Kennedy High School Wellness Fair on Monday morning. Many tents set up on the track.
Pierson and I were promoting May is Bike Month. 1700 students in two one-hour batches. We actually got a lot of people to sign up. Pierson is an excellent “barker”.
The only downside was being located right in front of the – loud – DJ.
Half birthday
A few weeks ago, in the car after picking up the boys after school, Avery says, “Grandma, there’s a really special day coming up on April 21.” Really? What is it? “It’s only going to happen once in our lifetimes. I will be 12 1/2.” Yes, that’s very special and … worthy of a gift? And, what do you know, he had something in mind.

at Four Seasons Westshore. A short walk up the street to my job site at reception. Two students from Inderkum HS Bike Tech program came to volunteer. Paul also volunteered and so helpful since I was a bit hampered.
Thursday
Charlie follows me everywhere and plops down as close as he can get. Keeping a watchful eye on me.
After dropping off Carson at his Little League game, I drove to City Hall for this month’s Active Transportation Commission meeting.
Monday – Wednesday
Last Friday, I led the first day of street rides for Project Ride Smart at Regency Park Elementary. I had the Blue group – excellent cyclists, ready to learn more on our rides. Every one of the four classes was great and I had no sweep and a couple of groups with 9 students. I forgot to take pictures, but no problem, I would be back on Monday and Tuesday.
However, on Monday morning, as we were getting all the bikes out of the classroom where they were stored, I tripped on a kickstand and fell. HARD on my left knee. Not good. The PRS team and school personnel moved into action. Cheryl picked up me and my bike and took “us” home. I was able to drive myself to a Kaiser urgent care. Whew! Nothing broken. Two days of rest and I would be just fine (really?). This was me Monday through Wednesday doing RICE: rest, ice, compression, elevate.
Thursday. Nope, I am not 100%. In fact, I need two more weeks of RICE. Sigh.

Bike Around the Buttes
A steady rain all morning. 600 riders signed up, 167 showed up. A choice of routes – how long do you want your misery to last?
Brenda, Lori, and Laurie rode the 20-mile route:
BarbaraL rode the 40-mile route, thankful for hot water at a rest stop from friendly volunteers.
I was supposed to ride, but the predicted weather conditions convinced me otherwise. I made the correct decision.
