Barbara describing today’s street ride.

Short break along the American River Bike Trail.

These three like to ride right behind me.

After we got back to Cordova HS, the students learned how to remove the tire and tube and how to patch a tube. Lary teaches this part of the program.

Saturday morning at Cordova High School. My second Saturday helping Barbara with the Velo Lancer program.

Barbara has taken on a big project (imho) for the American River Bike Patrol Velo Lancer program. I want to be available to help as often as possible on their Saturday morning meetups. For the next 10 weeks, these Cordova High School students will gain bike riding skills and endurance. In the end, they will earn a brand new Trek bike.
