Cool Collective in Riverside

Just came across this, via bikeforums.net.

Some peeps in Riverside are setting up a bicycle kitchen style community bike collective.

California Highway System Started by Bicyclists!

California's State Highway system was created at the behest of the Good Roads movement championed by the League of American Wheelmen (now the League of American Bicyclists www.bikeleague.org) We're rolling down tomorrow to the Bicycle Film Festival see ya there! Kinda nice to know cyclists were there FIRST! Ride ON!

ITS LEGIT! Loma Linda Mayor Invites All to Enjoy the South Hills Preserve!

Huge Props to Mayor Cristman and Loma Linda City Council for coming to the point tonight where they were able to finally invite the public to enjoy the fabulous South Hills Preserve the City of Loma Linda has created over the course of 20+ Years! Just to prove it is legit, the blog image for this post is a copy of the commemorative Open Space Map offered to the public for the first time tonight! The new Loma Linda City Council has mighty big shoes to fill, may the force be with them as they continue efforts to protect and expand the South Hills Preserve. To the retiring Mayor Bob Cristman from the Jedi Riders our heartfelt thanks forever! See you on the trails! Ride On! I plan to make a regular schedule of riding the trails, dropping in on the Loma Linda Farmer's market for some organic produce and fresh crepes and pedaling home.

Possible New Start Location?

After a year of meeting at Stell Coffee & Tea, I suggest we switch up our starting point. My suggestion is Augie's Coffee House.
Here's the map.

This would make our route more of a loop for easier regrouping post ride, and it may actually increase the rider number since our starting point will be more visible to all the hip downtown folk.

A few people came and we rode up to Admin Hill at the University of Redlands.
Yeah...it was cool.

Then we repaired to the Denny's Dining Hall for fries, bocca burgers and sodas.
