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.
Sophia #15 and Lenin #47. Pre-dinner entertainment for Grandma who arrived early.
Progress in the backyard.
Banana cream pie and slices of chocolate pie from Frank Fat’s.
The race to blow out the candles regardless of whose birthday it is. A family tradition.
In front of the Bike Tech classroom at Inderkum High School:
Practicing gliding:
This person actually came in on a small e-bike WITH a throttle (at far left in above picture) so she had great balance, but was dependent on the throttle. She wanted to learn how to get going using “power pedal” – here, she put her left foot on the pedal, raised it to the 10 o’clock position, eyes on the horizon, and pushed off. Success.
Our team: Christy, Lennore, Kathy:
On Tuesday, Terri, Elaine, and I had dinner out.

Saturday April 6. Brenda and Laurie going for a Jibe bike ride which met at Westlake Park. Behind Laurie is Lorge.
Up early for a one-hour drive to Howard Park in Ione for Party Pardee, an annual bike ride organized by Bike Hikers.
The 65-mile group had a start time of 7:30. My group, riding the 26-mile route, left at 8:30.
Rest stop #1.
In the distance, Lake Camanche.
Rest stop #2. Except there wasn’t a second rest stop on the 26-mile route. Oops, I missed a turn. If I continued, I would end up riding 65 miles.
Nope. 31 miles – that was enough. I got a ride back to the start with the sag support guys. The other passenger in the back seat with me lost a cleat on one shoe, her ride was over also.
The after-ride meal.
I walked with my plate until I found … Becky! We haven’t seen each other in years. So fun to catch up.
A stroll through the vendors including Gina – Gadget Girl Goods.

Great event! Thank you Bike Hikers.
