SDCBC Announcements for December 3, 2007 - New Pavement, Ride and Learn, and
message from the League of American Bicyclists

 

Sorrento Valley Road Repaved - Caltrans repaved the section of Sorrento
Valley Road under the new freeway ramps. Where there was once dirt is now
asphalt! Just in time for the rainy season. Thanks Caltrans!

 

Speaking of new pavement - Fashion Valley Road also has a new coating of
asphalt thanks to the efforts of Coalition member Richard Wood. Way to go,
Richard! If you have a pavement issue in the City of San  Diego, please help
us get it fixed. First, call the City hotline (619) 527-7500 and report the
hazard. Second, send us a picture of the problem so we can post it on our
website. Third, let us know when and if the city takes care of the problem. 

 

Ride and Learn, December 9th. We will meet at 9:00 in the parking lot of
Action Cyclery, 9910-C  Mira Mesa Blvd, SD 92131.  We will ride up to
Miramar Lake, around the Lake and back to Action Cyclery, about 8 miles
total.  If you don't want to ride UP the hill to the lake, you may  opt to
meet us between 9:15 and 9:30 in the parking lot  near the restrooms at the
Lake.  This will be our FIRST ride all the way around the Lake since it has
been re-opened.  Some of us might even want to go around twice   :-)  It is
about 5 miles around the lake. Don't miss this lovely ride.  As always, feel
free to invite neighbors, friends, family, etc.........all are welcome.
There might even be some donuts and coffee involved!!!

 

And from the League of American Bicyclists - A reporter for a national
magazine is searching for people with diabetes (type II) that have found
cycling as a source of exercise. He's looking to interview people who have
started or re-discovered the sport and continue to ride regularly. Any age,
male/female and anywhere in the country is fine. Ideally, the people (you or
your friends?) have also found that they reap other benefits from cycling,
such as weight loss. He wants to speak with you for a few minutes or swap
questions through email. Let us know if you fit the bill --- email us at
Elizabeth at bikeleague.org <blocked::mailto:Elizabeth at bikeleague.org>  or call
at 202-822-1333 x215. We need to hear from you by Dec. 7 --- the deadline is
coming up quickly!

 

And on a personal note - we're still experimenting with this list. This is
the first shot at a message format for the 'announcements' list, so feel
free to send feedback to me. Should we include graphics and pictures? Plain
text? Once a week (or so.) for a message ok, or would you rather have
individual messages spread out over a few days? Let me know.
