T<\/span>he former Bike Mayor of Oakland, Ron Bishop<\/span><\/a><\/strong> RIP, is guiding us from\u00a0\u00a0a different level\u00a0now. So much so, that we are riding the American River Parkway from Folsom, instead of to it. That is how Ron used to ride it.<\/span><\/p>\n

When Mary Ann Blackwell, the woman who founded the Bay Area Easy Riders Touring Group with Ron, told me he preferred going this way because it was slightly downhill,\u00a0 <\/span>it turned\u00a0 <\/span>my listening up. You see Mary Ann had been complaining that leaving from Sacramento would have put too much strain on her knees. This is\u00a0 <\/span>why we are not leaving from the picturesque State Capitol this year. And if it works out, why we may be leaving from Folsom from here on out.<\/span><\/p>\n

John Erickson will be there on his stunning RBR Superior . As will probably half a dozen other HiWhel bikes.
