Tuesday: a special meeting of the City Council to vote on the design to pursue for the Truxel Bridge. By a 3 to 2 margin, active transportation supporters wrote e-comments and spoke in person encouraging Councilmembers to vote No vote. Many residents north of the river (South and North Natomas) want and have been asking for a no-car design to be considered.
Thursday: Active Transportation Commission.
Brenda, Lori, me, Maria, and Laurie met at Sacramento Bar Park to start our ride around Lake Natomas.
We took a detour to explore part of the Johnny Cash Trail.
We’re standing in front of a guitar pick which sits on large copper record.
Lunch at Sociology:
Fun ride, cold day, 22 miles.
Avery had a weekend-long tournament at a local school.
Lenin kept score:
I led a ride to the Sacramento Zoo for Jibe to the Sacramento Zoo. Eighteen people showed up! The pre-ride chat:
with Adrienne.
This was a pretty good wrestling match for quite a long time. Neither would let go of the sloth.
Cheesy artichoke dip and Savory thumbprint cookies – the red is hot pepper jelly sitting in a Parmesan shortbread coated in finely chopped walnuts.
Jibe donated five ebikes to the N Natomas Public Library.
Today, the bikes were delivered by Jibe staff. Mellissa Meng, Executive Director:
Anya and BarbaraL:
Michelle and Amber:
Library staff explained the check out procedures which will be in place. Jibe explained about the batteries, keys, locks, and helmets.
Apparently a trend on social media — to enhance well-being and improve mental health, learn how to do and enjoy the following:
I do 75% of the activities on this list. No wonder my well-being is so healthy – lol. Two batches of Bavarian pretzels. Lower right = too dark, wrong recipe and not enough salt.
T-shirts are always too long and need to be shortened – might as well hem with embroidery:
Venice … I need to put this city on my bucket list.
I’m leading a Jibe ride next Saturday to the Sacramento Zoo. Today I did a pre-ride with Maria, Agueda and Galib.
Because of our recent very good rainfall, Discovery Park was closed, and will be for some time to come. Instead we rode along Garden Highway to Northgate Blvd, crossed the American River on the Pipes Bridge, and arrived at 19th and C Sts. 19th St now has a separated bike lane from C St to Broadway and is quite nice to ride.
The water in the Sacramento River was quite high. More rain predicted for next Thursday and Friday.
Great ride. 32 miles for me.
