The second Jibe ride of the day began in the early evening. There was a S Natomas Festival at a park about 7 miles away.

Bike valet by SABA – free secure bike parking – yay!

I stood in line at a food truck for 15 minutes with no movement forward so abandoned the idea of having dinner there .. walked around for at least 30 minutes, and decided to leave. Amazingly the food line had still not moved, good decision to ride back to our neighborhood and pick up some takeout on the way home. 13 additional miles for today, 37 miles total.

At the last minute, I was able to join the Jibe ride to Midtown Farmers Market. We met in front of the Jibe office.

This market is takes up several blocks. We didn’t have much time to walk around and see everything. Several interesting international food offerings.

Great ride. 23 miles.

Jibe hosted a meeting with the American River Bike Patrol at CharQterie on Wednesday. Bike Patrol is hoping to recruit new people to join, get trained and offer assistance on Natomas trails.

Bicycle Networking at Frends. Catching up on all the latest news and talking about upcoming rides. Anya, Brenda, Lennore, Laurie, BarbaraL, Lorge.

A surprise turnout the day after the Fourth of July – 25 people met at Elderberry Park for a ride to Steamers in Old Sac.

My ride turned out to be a bit longer than expected. I showed a mother and her two kids how to get back to their home in Northlake via Metro Air Parkway over I-5 thereby avoiding the less-safe Elkhorn Blvd over 99/70. 32 miles today!

Kimberly, who lives in Dixon, drove to my house where we started our ride. Next stop, about a 1/2 mile away, Lennore’s garage. Then we rode to the Jibe office and met everyone else in the parking lot.

Brenda was ride leader, Lori-sweep, Galib-mechanic.

Rest stop near Costco:

Thank you Jibe for buying everyone an ice cream cone at Handel’s. The small scoops were huge, and delicious. Many flavor choices.

Fun ride. 16 miles.

The ride started at the Jibe office.

I met the group at Tanzanite Park. There were 15 cyclists. Brenda took the picture, Lori led the ride. I was in the back with Laurie who was sweeping.

Just across the Tower Bridge in W Sacramento, the Tree House Cafe is very bike friendly. Bikes can enter through an opening in the chain link fence.

Jibe bought everyone coffee. I stayed with the bikes.
