MARCH CLUB MEETING

The FFBC meeting on May 10 featured Supervisor Scott Haggerty  and his Chief of Staff for operations, Dawn P. Argula speaking about future plans for bike trails. He included an update on the status of expanding the trail connectivity in Niles Canyon as well as a brief overview of the Alameda County Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan and the Transportation Expenditure Plan.

PHOTOS FROM THE ROAD

Sunday, May 22, 100K ride on Mines Road to the Junction Cafe. Pictured are Jim Fehrle (with equine friend), Myvan Quoc, Jacqueline Mertz, Mike Moore and Julie Gilson. It was an unusually cool (for late-May) but quite scenic ride. (Photos: Dave Fishbaugh)
