Last Thursday, Barbara and I went for a 9-mile ride to check out the new trail which isn’t quite finished.
Today Leo and I went for 19-mile ride to the end of Jackrabbit Trail plus a few added loops through parks and other trails.
Barbara and Leo are Better on Bikes participants who asked for one-on-one rides that also come with a bit of coaching from me.
This was the final Sunday office hours for Better on Bikes. Today we practiced a major bike route through the neighborhoods between Arena Blvd and San Juan Rd – if you want to get to the other side of I-5 or ride into Sacramento, you must use these streets.
One of the Better on Bikes participants asked for a one-on-one ride. Barbara and I had a nice 9-mile ride which was actually a pre-ride for a bike trail ribbon-cutting ceremony on Nov 20. We discovered there’s still work to be done.
Just one more class after this one.
At 10:30, we had the official Better on Bikes office hours. We went for a 6.4 mile bike ride. Everyone is making such great progress in using the skills they’ve been learning.
At the site of a future bicycle-pedestrian bridge over I-5, a 7-million-dollar project.
In the afternoon, I went for a 10-mile ride with Amal and DJ.
Another fun hour with 8 of the students in Better on Bikes. After practicing scanning in a parking lot drill, we went for a 3 mile ride.
In the morning, Freida and I went for a ride. She agreed to go through all the steps for a box turn while I took lots of pictures for the next Better on Bikes class. Thanks Freida!
Then I picked up two bikes in Carmichael that were donated to SABA’s Bike Match program
followed by picking up Sophia, Avery, and Carson, going to Starbucks, followed by Avery’s soccer practice.
Meanwhile,
It was a bit chilly on Sunday morning, nevertheless 8 participants in Better on Bikes came out for Office Hours. We did a few bike drills and went for a ride around Fisherman’s Lake – 2.75 miles. Those who wanted a few more miles went an second time with an extension to El Centro Rd.
This Saturday morning, it was at Four Seasons Westshore. Three mechanics pulling (225-pound) trailers with all the equipment you see in the following pictures. They rode about 3 miles on Del Paso Rd with a climb over I-5 (on/off ramps require vigilance and caution).
Tuesday @ 5:30. One thing to figure out when you Zoom is your background: what’s best for your audience? That blue pleated blind turned out to be perfect plus turning on every available overhead light.
