On April 16, 2000, the city of Folsom re-dedicated a bridge that was originally built in Folsom, was sold
to another county in the late 1920s/early 1930s, then this year brought back to Folsom. This edited clip
was shown on KXTV (Channel 10) in Sacramento, California that evening on the 10PM news.
I'm riding at a slow walking pace because of the crowd (lead by photographers walking backwards to take
pictures of everyone--say, doesn't that make the photographers the first ones across?! Who took their
photo?). Riding this slow isn't all that much fun, as you have to be ready to get off without warning.
Lucky for me I was near that high railing, and when the pace got too slow I grabbed the rail and waited
for some space to open up in front of me.
You'll see another old bicycle behind me; that's an 1893 Columbia, built the same year as the bridge.

I used a digital camera to take some tiny little AVIs at the 2002 Wheelmen Meet:
This one shows Nolan Bay
riding his Gormully & Jeffery along the route of the century ride. This was a practice ride to get us
acquainted with the route.
At the turn-around point we all stopped. Some folks came by to chat and asked the unsual "how do you get on" question.
Right then someone was getting ready to ride back, so I said
"Watch that person..." and also took a mini-movie.
Here's one of my favorites: On the last day we had races, and this is one of the
sprints.
