Congressman Sam Farr at 8/17 Fest - Skot Creates New Route
In monster huge news, we just found out that Congressman Sam Farr will be speaking at the endpoint for our National Mayors' Ride, our second annual August 17 Santa Cruz NBG Bike Fest http://www.nationalbicyclegreenway.com/Events/Festival . And talk about a public servant of the highest order, Sam's coming up from nearly a hundred miles away **during his vacation** to talk about a dream he and I share, and an important part of the National Bicycle Greenway network -- a pathway along the coast from Santa Cruz to Monterey. And Sam is The Man who carries a bike stick where locating the bucks are concerned to make all of it real. The driver who was a great force in ushering the world famous Cannery Row bike path in Monterey into form, at our event he will be taking about what his office is doing to make the Coastal Rail Trail from Santa Cruz to the Pajaro River a reality. WoW WoW -- Excited!! And a Santa Cruzan who stands to benefit from Sam's work will also be here via Eugene, Arcata and soon Napa!! That's right, Skot Paschal who was just the toast of the town in Arcata as per the pictures http://NationalBicycleGreenway.com/gallery that just came in from Mayor Bob's bike excited town (Bob Ornelas might even ride some of Bay Area Mayors' Ride cities and wants also to be at the Festival!) is also creating a new likely relay leg for next year as he does so. Skot just announced that he will be at the Friday August 1 proclamation ceremony in Napa meaning he will have forged an Arcata to Napa bike connection. And here to describe his day's riding is some more of his epic Pocket Mail poetry and fun writing : Uphill for pert near ever Now has nothing to do with the top. Feeling clear of any ideas Watching in the rear Looking at the sky above me Letting it all just happen redflower, hawk, lush blackberries, and just a touch of fear.(That's healthy). and when the summit levels towards a 10% grade a party's just about to start like an eagle downward through the thermals you glide ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: Ukiah Sushi Firing down the spicy tuna hand roll with a large Tsingtao in the 15,000+ town of Ukiah. Highway 101 from Willits is a road of beauty. There is brand new blacktop and super shoulders. Even though there was considerable traffic, the wide "bike" lane and over 10 miles of sailing downhill made it a beautiful way to end a challenging HOTTTT day. There are some high clouds rolling in. My hope is that represents a cooling trend. The road to Napa brings back fond memories. The Napa marathon was my last big race before the legs said,"You wanna play? Ride a bike." Good advice and it will be sweet to ride the road I ran. Then I can say I rode the road I ran. Getting too silly. Time for a Deluxe CA roll. In a peldaling state of mind, Sk. Having little, you can receive much. Having much, you'll just become confused. -Lao Tzu ------------------------------ Local access to PocketMail mobile e-mail now available in Europe, North America & Australia http://www.pocketmail.com Skot Paschal is a popular Santa Cruz middle school math teacher at http://www.skot.web-page.net Skot can be reached on the road at: MARTIN KRIEG: "Awake Again" Author c/o BikeRoute.com 79 & 86 TransAms, nonprofit Nat.
