Hello CA Association of Bicycle Organizations

Caltrans will be completing the SR-56 bike path extension at the end of May and we are holding a ribbon cutting event on May 23 (time TBD but probably around 10:30). We would like to invite your team to the event and are hoping that you can help spread the word about the opening and the ceremony to your members.

Thank you,

I rode through there this weekend to check it out.  Locals have pushed the fencing to the side.  It's nice to avoid traffic around I-5.

Might be nice if one of our routes included being in that area around 10:30, but that might be hard to coordinate.
