The Center for Appropriate Transport (CAT)
<http://members.efn.org/~cat> people really plan to bring it on in
Eugene this Friday, May 21! And as such they plan to give Arcata Mayor
Bob Ornelas
<http://www.nationalbicyclegreenway.com/Events/Mayors_Ride/bios/bob_ornel
as.php> a worthy send off for his ride from there to Arcata NBG Day on
May 28th . I mean get this, Zack Herigodt, their Eugene Bike Works (the
CAT bike shop is one of six different hands on, community benefiting
learning modules) director tells me that four different classes will be
there! Kids from their multi-media, journalism, frame building and bike
storage rack learning centers will be on hand to not only be part of the
festivities, but the students will also be documenting the event with
photo, film and journal entries!
And Mayor Bob tells us he's ready. Much disciplined in between his
hectic schedule as a Mayor and businessman, he's been busy rolling a
few hundred miles a week on his bike. On the beautiful, redwood tree
lined roads they have up there. Often in the interminable fog they get
up his way during this time of year. And he may not stop in Arcata. Bob
may ride all the way to San Francisco NBG Day on June 11th!! WOW!!
We are waiting for reports and digital images of a successful first
Seattle NBG Day and Portland goes off today!! Without Andrew Heckman 🙁
Yesterday was his first day on his first job since the horrific accident
he experienced on our very first Mayors' Ride in 2002. Go Andrew!!
