Details for July 15th Ride

We'll meet either at or near the Alder picnic area which is the first area you come to if you enter off of Garden Highway. Take the first left after the entrance booth and head straight back. We’ll have the Kidical Mass banner up so we should be easy to find. We're aiming to be there at 5:15 for a dinner picnic if anyone cares to join us. It's nice and shady and close to bathrooms which will hopefully be open.

Parking is $5.00 via the ranger station. There are many office buildings, whose parking lots should be empty, off of Natomas Park drive. There is also free parking off Jiboom street near the water intake plant on the other side of the river. If you park there just ride across the bridge and follow the road or the trail to the right away from the boat ramps.

Also a warning: If you are coming into the park over Garden Highway the traffic light is on a really short (read: not bike friendly) cycle so it's best to use the crosswalk or get the crosswalk signal especially if there is more than one person crossing.

The weather looks to be cooler this weekend. We hope to see you there on Sunday afternoon!

Discovery Park evening ride on July 15th!

With help from Elle & Kate, we're now doing Kidical Mass events on the 3rd Sunday of each month. The July 15th ride will start with a picnic meet-up in Discovery Park at 5:30 and a ride at 6:00. More details to come.

It's that time again!

It's been quite awhile but the next Sacramento Kidical Mass event is set for Sunday, May 20th, right in the middle of May is Bike Month. We'll be meeting in the Kit Carson Middle School parking lot, just around the corner from our usual spot in East Portal Park, and festivities will start at 2:00 p.m. Thanks to A.J. Tendick at the Sacramento Area Council of Governments for helping me get this one going. More details to follow...

A Wet Kidical Mass Indeed...

Some have said that Sacramentans don't bike in the rain, but this morning we proved those naysayers wrong. We had between 40 and 50 intrepid souls out braving the elements, including thunder and lightning during the ride itself. Well done, Sac families. Well done.



For those of you who made it out for the ride please upload your photos to our Flickr Group at http://www.flickr.com/groups/1516936@N20/ so the rest of the world can see that every day is a good day for a family bike ride.


That said, I'm glad we cancelled the race & obstacle course events since it's now hailing pretty hard. Thanks again for coming out, folks.

Sunny During the Ride?

Weather.com says that the 10:00am ride will be the only sunny hour or two today. Take advantage and come out for a great ride! See you soon...
