The last day of the program. Barbara and Kathy outlining today’s activities:
Triple Rings of Fire:
Mike came by to service a few bikes.
Jibe’s fleet of bicycles. At the end of the day, we stack all the bikes, run a cable through all of them, and finish with a strong u-lock.
Great day with good friends and co-workers.
This was the first street-ride day at Northlake. There were quite a few kids who weren’t ready to go on a street ride. Deanna and I stayed with them and worked on basic skills. Wes and Buddy along with the 5th grade teacher took another group out for a short street ride.
Just a few kids who needed to learn how to ride. Quite a few just wanted to ride around, although we (Barbara, Kathy and I) add in some skills they can also practice like hand signals and scanning.
Today I helped out at Northlake Elementary for helmet fitting day.

I led a ride to Celebrate Natomas. We left from the Jibe office: Jim, Paul, Lennore, Minka.
We stayed about an hour. Sadly, Lennore’s bike had a rear flat tire after we checked out from Bike Valet. Marcelino did his best to help.
We left Lennore at the event. At Airport Rd, Paul, Jim and Minka rode back to the start point. I rode fast back to my house to get my vehicle. I drove back to the event, picked up Lennore/bike, drove Lennore back to Jibe office to get her vehicle, met her at her garage where we unloaded her bike. I have been rescued SO many times on past bike rides and tours – I am passing on the good vibes.
The first Friday in August. We met at Frends. Lots of bicycle talk.
Congratulations Lorge, our most recently trained League Cycling Instructor.
Brenda led a Jibe social ride to the end of the Dry Creek Parkway near the Cherry Island soccer complex. I rode sweep. We met at Kohl’s.
16 riders – very good turn out.

A group of 16 people met on Saturday morning at Peregrine Park and rode to W Sacramento for the Breathe Bike Fest – the kickoff event for May is Bike Month. This was a Jibe-organized ride.
About 8 cyclists from N Natomas drove to Davis and parked at the train station. A group from SABA arrived by train.
After this picture was taken, all the SABA riders took off in various directions and groups. Our NN group rode together, Galib led, we stopped at every activity station.
Great welcoming arch made from shovels.

There is a great 12-mile loop connecting all the schools and many parks in Davis. For Loopalooza, there are activity stations along the way. Lennore and Galib:
This was a fun ride organized by BarbaraL and supported by Jibe. Two different ride groups started from each side of I-5 and met at the N Natomas Library. On my side, there were three of us ready to lead a group, but no one showed. up. On the east side of the freeway, it was another story. Laurie had a group of about 20, families and kids.
Each group had a ride leader, mechanic, and sweep. Lorge and Brenda:
There were snacks and everyone got to choose one book from the Friends of the Library Book Sale. Thank you Jibe and thank you BarbaraL for organizing this ride.
