There s so many kids, and especially during the pandemic, kids are all looking for something to do and biking became super popular, San Ramon Valley Mountain Bike Club team director Bruce Bilodeau said. (At the beginning of the pandemic) we sat down with the county rules and wrote a whole protocol for our coaching staff and we implemented it and it s been working great.

Bilodeau says the convenience of having a local place like Mount Diablo to ride has made all the difference, with the local trails helping students get out to exercise and train for competitions within the NorCal High School Cycling League which the student club is a part of.
Let’s start with the axes.
First up: Splittin’ Wood Axe Throwing is coming to the Lewiston Mall.
Christopher and Julie Nichols are opening in the former Olympia Sports space later this summer, offering six lanes of targets, plus pizza.
The city council also approved a liquor license last month. The couple has set a two-beer maximum while throwing.
“It seems like (the mall) is coming back,” said Christopher Nichols on Thursday. “Driving for FedEx, I’ve seen all the vacant areas and … this is the one spot that I saw that had the measurements that I need.”
Single lanes are sized for one or two throwers, double-lanes for larger parties.

Vaccine progress for Veterans, VA staff
Administering vaccines as soon as they are available
VA utilizes several ways to provide vaccines to as many Veterans as possible. Here are just a few of the many scenarios at VA medical centers across the country.
Before many people wake up each day, South Texas VA pharmacy staff are already busy at work, preparing hundreds of doses of the COVID-19 vaccination for the first of many COVID vaccination clinics.
This first clinic was designated for Veterans over the age of 75.
The army of volunteer staff was ready, covering all bases. Veterans were invited inside to stay warm and enjoy hot coffee, water and doughnuts. Staff set up the largest waiting room in its history, putting out 140 physically distanced chairs that stretched through multiple hallways.
