Meanwhile, a big group of us drove to Granite Bay to ride some rolling hills. Jonathan took this picture of Elaine, Agueda, Brenda, Maria, me, Stacey, Cheryl, Kathy, Sheila, Michael, and Dani. Minerva also rode.
There were two ride groups. Dani led the faster group who rode 30 miles. Kathy led another group who rode 23 miles. This was the first time for some cyclists riding rolling hills – North Natomas and all of Sacramento is flat. The non-e-bike riders also has a harder time, shifting was important.
We were all about 5 miles from the end of the ride when it began to sprinkle, then rain. Despite being wet and cold, we all had a great time. And a couple more people are thinking an e-bike might be a good idea.

Saturday Bike Party organized by Coletha. Shelf-stable food was donated to Joey’s Food Locker serving families in N Natomas. Ozzie came to pick up the donations and tell us a bit about the program.
Thanks for riding today: Brenda, Minerva, Yingce, Rachel, Jim, and Carol for riding today. After the main ride, a few of us rode over to the E Levee Rd to check out the flooding from Steelhead Creek and see the Hansen Ranch Park site. Picture taken by the shadow.

Saturday January 14. Kathy at Discovery Park. The bicycle route to downtown Sacramento through Discovery Park is not available due to flooding. The solution is to get on I-5 at the Garden Highway, exiting at Richards Blvd, to cross the river.
