Fourth Annual Kids Bicycle Safety Obstacle Course (aka rodeo)
Saturday, May 10 at 10 a.m.
This year we are excited to have a new bigger and more public location at
Depot Park in downtown, near the wharf. In this event, open to the public,
beginner riders 4-8 years old will practice their bicycling skills, learn
about traffic safety and participate in other fun bicycle-related activities.
We expect a lot of kids at this year’s event thanks to promotion in the City
of Santa Cruz Parks and Recreation summer guide. Many volunteers are needed
to make this a success. Jobs include: running stations of the course, sign-in,
helmet fit check, bicycle maintenance checks, set-up, clean-up and having
fun with kids! Volunteer shifts are 3 hours long and times vary by job. After
the rodeo, you’ll also have plenty of time to check out the rest of the Bike
Fest festivities at the new Bicycle Trip Bike Park down the street.
11 a.m.-4 p.m, including the Jump Jam pro and amateur Mt. Bike contests, music,
food, booths and more.
Please contact Saskia
Lucas asap if you are able to help out.
It’s going to be really fun and I hope to see you there.

Bike-To-Work-Week is approaching
Saturday May 17th.
Last year's event was a huge success, and I have taken your comments and
suggestions from last year to ensure that this year is even better.
Please consider helping at the closing event of Bike-to-Work week at this
fun event where people of all ages and riding abilities meet at the SC Train
Depot Park at 10am, ride the train up to Felton, and then ride HWY 9 back
down to town.
Tickets are $6 for adults and $3 for children under 12.
We have multiple positions to fill:
The Bike-To-Work folks have planned this great event, but they are relying on our volunteer power to make it happen!
There is no Saturday club ride on this date, so please consider volunteering for this event instead.
If you are able to help out, please contact Deborah

Rail trail could hike home values, study says
"The Santa Cruz County Cycling Club (SCCCC) endorses the conclusions of Leo Moll's Monetary Value of the Trail along the Rail in Santa Cruz County An Economic Analysis, said Bart Coddington, SCCCC President. Also, "the addition of this trail will allow county families a safe route to walk or ride with their children".
