Executive director Jim Sayer traveled to Sacramento, California where he enjoyed meeting Adventure Cycling supporters at a regional gathering at Mike’s Bikes in mid-town on May 17th. He also had the chance to meet members Jim and Cathy Haagen-Schmit in the Sierra foothills (near their home in Newcastle). Though “retired” from their jobs in the tech and law fields, Jim and Cathy look like they’re still in their 30s (could it be the cycling?) and are actively involved in land conservation and cycling promotion. Jim is a board member for the California Bicycle Coalition and a regional rep for IMBA. Together, the two Jims and Cathy talked about legislation in Sacramento to designate official state cycling routes, and bike travel on off-road trails.
