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.

Sacramento Northern Bike Trail goes through Elverta, Rio Linda, and Robla.

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.

Jibe organized another 50% off if you ride your bike to a local restaurant. I led this one. Our starting group – Laurie, Henry, Milan, Lori, Brenda, Kimberly – however note how Kimberly is standing. She fell while standing over her bike and twisted her left ankle. We loaded her bike back onto the car and she drove home.

This little tree on Redbud Trail is decorated monthly by someone unknown.

This is a fun annual ride thanks to BarbaraL who is Santa’s helper at the Old Eagle Theater in Old Sac for about 4 weeks every holiday season. Today, she was not scheduled to work and was able to ride with us. Another foggy cold day (our third week with no sunshine).

BarbaraL, Hal, Becky, Brenda, Charlie, Greg, Hector, Milan, Brad, Sandi:

Santa came in a bit early to be ready for us – so kind of him. In through the side door

and through the building to the near front door.

Thank you Santa Larry and BarbaraL. Everyone enjoys this annual ride.
