SUMMARY:Bicycle Tour & Travel Expo - Cincinnati Sharonville Convention Center
DESCRIPTION:Set for Sept 26-27\, in Cincinnati at the Sharonville Convention Center\, is  the Bicycle Tour & Travel Expo. Martin Krieg will be speaking there per the following description: \nMain Street USA\, How Businesses that Serve Cyclists will build the National Bicycle Greenway: \nMartin Krieg will explain his plan and what will be the result once all the businesses that serve the needs of cyclists\, along the coast-to-coast bike route his group spent 17 years researching\, are identified and then sold. He will show how by wanting to bring the discretionary well-dollared travelers of the future\, long and short haul cyclists\, to their doorsteps\, growing numbers of American merchants will be the ones that lead the push for a bicycle heaven on earth\, the National Bicycle Greenway. \nShare this:\n				Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n				Email\n			\n				Print (Opens in new window)\n				Print\n			More\n				Share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)\n				LinkedIn\n			\n				Share on Tumblr (Opens in new window)\n				Tumblr\n			\n				Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n				Facebook\n			\n				Share on X (Opens in new window)\n				X

SUMMARY:First Annual Ron Bishop Lake Merritt Memorial Ride
DESCRIPTION:L-R: Tom Ayres\, Dionysos Maskaleris\, Martin Krieg\, Outgoing Oakland Mayor\, Jean Quan\, Mary Ann Blackwell\,\nValerie Winemiller\, John Erickson\, Chris Erickson. Behind camera\, Floyd Quan  \n\nRon Bishop\, at Lake Merrit with Bay Bridge\, Treasure and Angel Islands in background.\nTechnically a tidal lagoon\, Lake Merritt defines the downtown landscape of Oakland\,\ncovering 150 acres in the city center\, ringed with parkland\, paths\, and residential neighborhoods. \nWe  will ride the 3-mile Lake Merritt loop on our first annual celebration of Mr. Bike Oakland\, Ron Bishop‘s life. Ron used the bandstand at the upper end of the lake\, near the historic Grand Lake Theater\, to stage many of the rides he and Mary Ann Blackwell did with the Bay Area Easy Riders Bike Touring group they had formed. A lap of the lake that always followed was made possible by the 12th Street dam bikeway Ron had been instrumental in bringing about. \nRon used his professional skills\, public speaking talent and political connections to point his beloved city in the direction of it being the safe bike haven it is more and more becoming today. Ron knew the treasure awaiting cyclists in its hills and along its waterfront needed to be made both bikeable and accessible. It was this that he and NBG Director\, Martin Krieg saw in their mind’s eyes as they biked this emerald jewel in the center of the City of Oakland. \nIn the big picture\, the two of them also used Lake Merritt’s enchanted pathways to think out loud about Oakland’s important part in the coast-to-coast bike road\, the National Bicycle Greenway\, at BikeRoute.com. \n \n\nThis bridge at the end of the lake closest to the Bay was largely the brainchild of Ron Bishop who  championed it tirelessly. It allows walkers and cyclists to go around Lake Merritt without engaging with vehicles. \n  \n                               \n  \n \nThis award winning photo\, called Portals Onto the Lake\,  was shot by Ken Katz\, a cyclist friend of Ron’s and unofficial photographer for the Bay Area Easy Riders Touring Group. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n                                                                \nAbove pictures  from Ken’s Striking Lake Merritt photo album \nJoin the Ride \nShare this:\n				Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n				Email\n			\n				Print (Opens in new window)\n				Print\n			More\n				Share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)\n				LinkedIn\n			\n				Share on Tumblr (Opens in new window)\n				Tumblr\n			\n				Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n				Facebook\n			\n				Share on X (Opens in new window)\n				X

SUMMARY:8th San Francisco to Palo Alto
DESCRIPTION: Our 2015 ride will leave from the Golden Gate city\, instead of cycle to it – see HERE for an explanation. And below for why we feel Palo Alto is the true cornerstone for the National Bicycle Greenway. \nWith the San Francisco hills behind us in the morning\, the ride will be a lot easier than in years past. Ten miles before the end\, Whole Foods Redwood City will recharge us  with energy  food and drink before we end at Palo Alto Bicycles where a small reception is TBA. \nWe’ll take the 8:31 train from the CalTrain station at University and Alma and start riding from San Francisco an hour later. Try to be at the station at 8AM. You cannot be late!! You can also meet us at the 4th & King SF Caltrain at 9:38 and ride with us from there! \n                    Don Loomis – 2004 TransAm Vet             Carol Brouilllet – Cookie Lady                       Waiting at South SF Light          SF CalTrain station                                    Yoriko & Lee with the Dalai Lama in Japan       \n2103 Ride Report | 2014 Ride Report  \n                                                            Folsom & Sacramento stores                       On America’s first Bike Blvd       \nROUTE \nBike Route\, mostly flat once you leave SF\, that runs fairly close to the railroad alignment that dates back to the time of Abraham Lincoln’s presidency.
