Went for a run on the beach path in #Monterey yesterday for the first time in a while. I picked a hell of a day to go - the whole gang was there! 🦭

It's our former home turf, and where we really fell in love with biking. https://bikemonterey.org/biking-west-cliff.html
It's also our vacay day spot. We still love biking many of our former daily Santa Cruz bike routes, and are happy to boost efforts of our #CalBike partner Bike Santa Cruz County in improving infrastructure there, e.g., https://bikemonterey.org/bike-santa-cruz-advocate-for-west-cliff-and-broadway.html

This morning our son said it's 109 where he is. Our BFF said it's 100 where she is.
Why do we do what we do—14+ years of volunteer work as a #bicycling advocate? Among the multiple benefits of biking—for individuals, communities, and planet: reducing #CarbonEmissions.
Thanks to all who grok the benefits when more people bike, and pitch in to help support this work. https://bikemonterey.org/about/financial-donations
If you're able, please add your name to our special #thanks list in Summer Bike Buzz: https://bikemonterey.org/bike-buzz-summer-2023-news-from-bicycling-monterey.html. (Or be a year-round supporter / Pedal Pusher, as @Kleen is.) Sharing the need for supporters is also appreciated.
Besides #Earth care, here are some of the other benefits when more people #bike: https://bikemonterey.org/tips-for-tourists/why-bike

@carolski A4 #BikeNite Many public parks with EXCELLENT access by biking and walking here, including along the #MontereyBay Sanctuary Scenic Trail's #MontereyCounty car-free section, e.g., Fort Ord Dunes State Park, Monterey State Beach Park, Window on the Bay Park, Monterey State Historic Park, San Carlos Beach Park, Lovers Point Park, and more. Scroll the following post for photos showing scenes along that trail: https://bikemonterey.org/intergenerational-ride-for-monterey-county-bike-month.html
Also many within very close bike/walk distance from the car-free coastal trail, e.g., for El Estero Park / Dennis the Menace Playground, only necessary to cross one street, Del Monte Ave, to get there.
For photos of Window on the Bay Park, scroll down our post about #Climate Reality Project, which features a gallery of that park: https://bikemonterey.org/act-on-climate-monterey-bay-chapter-climate-reality-project.html

A couple of years back while walking on the beach in Monterey I came upon this young water dog. Stayed 20 feet back so as not to disturb his groove.

120 followers · 267 posts · Server sfba.socialPlease welcome #MontereyCountyWeekly staff writer Pam Marino / @pammarino to Mastodon.
"Pam Marino joined the Monterey County Weekly in November 2016. She covers #Carmel, #PacificGrove and #Monterey. She also covers #health, #housing and #homelessness, #tourism and #HigherEducation." https://www.montereycountyweekly.com/users/profile/pam%20marino/
Monterey County Weekly is local and independent #media and is the county's "largest circulation #newspaper." More about MCW: "We were the first newspaper in the [#USA] to have 100% of our power generated from #solar energy (2007) and the first Existing Building in the [#MontereyBay] tri-county area to obtain the US #GreenBuilding Council's #LEED PLATINUM certification for Leadership in #Energy and #Environmental Design (2013)." https://www.montereycountyweekly.com/site/about_the_weekly.html.
Learning how Mastodon works (quite differently from the bird site!) takes time—at least, it sure does for us.
Perhaps consider sending Pam some of your very best tips on using this new-to-many-of-us platform. Thank you.

Among the many who bike in part to help care for the earth are 82-yr-old Dave, who we met biking the #MontereyBay coastal trail; 43-yr-old Patrick, who we met at a #Monterey-#Salinas Transit plaza; 34-yr-old Sierra, a Connecticut resident who laments infrastructure by her home isn't nearly as safe as other places she's biked, including Amsterdam; and 42-yr-old Phil / @ascentale, an Oakland #BikeLeague LCI. https://bikemonterey.org/voices-of-people-who-bike-part-1-who-bikes-why-and-memories.html

109 followers · 242 posts · Server sfba.socialAnother #infrastructure disappointment for North #MontereyCounty. To the best of our knowledge (and we confirmed with our most reliable source on this project), this time it's #PG&E, not #Caltrans, impacting a project that #Transportation Agency for #Monterey County has been eager to see happen—as have residents and visitors.
Here's what's up: "A major project at #Highway156 in #Castroville risks losing funding due to delays," as reported by Celia Jiménez in #MontereyCountyWeekly https://www.montereycountyweekly.com/news/local_news/a-major-project-at-highway-156-in-castroville-risks-losing-funding-due-to-delays/article_5f7727ac-0579-11ee-ad6d-e3685845e034.html The project includes three #roundabouts, #bicycle paths, and #sidewalks, among other improvements.
Curious about the California Dept of Transportation / Caltrans project we're also referring to? ICYMI, see "#MontereyBay Sanctuary Scenic #Trail: #MossLanding Segment": https://bikemonterey.org/monterey-bay-sanctuary-scenic-trail-moss-landing-segment.html
