May is National Bicycle Month. There are several events in our area to celebrate this. Powerhouse Century is this weekend. May 21st is Bike to Work day and Department of Parks is giving us free parking to access the American River Bike Trail to ride to work.
"The Jedediah Smith Memorial Bike Trail runs 32 miles along the American River Parkway, and has consistently been rated as one of the best biking trails in the nation. By purchasing a Parks PASSPORT, for as little as $50, you can help support this region’s treasure. The Parks PASSPORT is accepted at any of our Regional Parks located in Sacramento County and all funds from the PASSPORT go to the operations and maintenance of our parks. If you purchase your PASSPORT in May through June, you will be entered to win a Trek 7000 bike, courtesy of Bicycle Works and you'll receive a coupon book valued at $250 from our sponsors Elliott's Natural Foods, Bicycles Plus, City Bicycle Works, River Rat Raft & Bike, Sacramento Natural Foods Co-op and others."
Coming soon an interview with Chief Ranger Steve Flannery about the bike trail. Good stuff!
