Saturday January 27. What a fun ride today. Brenda, Laurie, and Laurie rode in from the east side. I rode with Cheryl, BarbaraB, and Laura from Four Seasons Westshore where we all live. Along the way, we picked up Rod and Sue .. soon Rod’s pedal came off, he had to return home, fix the pedal with the right tool, put the bike on his vehicle and rush to meet us at the train station – he made it, barely. We all met at the bike-ped bridge over I-80. Agueda and Minerva arrived and we all took off to the train station. Jim met us at the station. Our train left at 9:55 am.

A few bikes could fit in this car but not 12 so we all moved to the bike car.

In the bike car, it’s impossible to tilt an ebike on its back wheel and secure the front wheel on a hook at a 6-foot height. Our bikes are much too heavy. Even with the non-ebikes, it took two of us to manage the lifting up/down process.

It was a 15-minute train ride to Davis. We were going to ride the 12-mile Davis Bike Loop which is mostly marked. To our benefit, Anya from Jibe met us at the train station and rode the entire loop with us. Anya and family live in Davis which means she was an excellent tour guide.

Back at the train station, we were two riders short for a very good reason. BarbaraB and Cheryl left the route at about the 3/4 point and rode back to Sacramento. Their ride was 40 miles total.

This was a great ride. 30+ miles for most of us. Several riders learned a lot about the limits of their bikes.

Sunday December 17. My bike and Terri’s at the entrance to Discovery Park. Steelhead Creek in the background.

We had 9 bike riders this year. It was a 7 mile ride that started at 7 pm. We met at “the Feet” – a public art installation in Natomas Community Park. N Natomas neighborhoods have LOTS of holiday lights but none is better than Rockmont. So popular, streets organized by residents for easier flow, many pedestrians, many cars. Best navigated on a bike. Rachel, Lennore, Minka, Elaine, me, Lori, Brenda, Julisa. Picture taken by Minerva.

At this particular location in a cul-de-sac, there is a huge tree in the center, and a barrel for food donations. Tonight neighbors had a fire going and free hot chocolate for passersby. A big shout-out to Brenda who is great at rallying people for these rides. And she has a selfie stick …

and she takes pictures while she’s pedaling. This picture is a bit blurry but gives you an idea of one long section of Northborough Dr – MANY hoops of lights on the sidewalk.

Seven of us rode to Old Sac this afternoon. Maria, Brenda, Laura, Stacey, Carol, BarbaraB:

Santa’s special helper is BarbaraL who arranged for us to see Santa Rick before the doors opened to the general public. We rolled our bikes along the boardwalk on the far side of the building and into the theater. We parked anywhere we could find room. Picture time!

We gathered in the lobby to exit, but we needed to be altogether because the public would enter immediately after.

Thank you so much BarbaraL for arranging this special visit with Santa. Such a special experience.

We rode on to the North Pole. The Polar Express train is VERY popular. Tickets go on sale in August and sell out quickly. It’s only a 3-mile roundtrip train ride, but a lot of fun for families.

So much hot chocolate is served on the train that a special storage tank is needed:

We noticed a new bicycle bridge is rideable but ends immediately on the other side of I-5. The Del Rio Trail begins here and will go 5 miles to Freeport.

What a fun ride.
