Bottom of Hollow Oak Drive climb in El Dorado Hills, CA. I liked the name of the cross street:

Part of one of my favorite climbing rides:

Ummm...I hope this isn't in bad taste. Your thoughts?

The "Bike Safety Forum" sign was added after the ghost bike was placed there.

I recognize the OP's pic--it's about 1.25 miles from my condo...

UK I feel ya. My wife doesn't get home till late with the EOG testing coming up so it's either a nice dinner with the family or try to get a ride on the road. I'm stuck on the trainer, haven't quite got the nerves yet to try the rollers.

Is that actually the state exam required to pass that grade? I don't think that's been used in California for over 30 years. Here in Los Angeles, we just pass the kid until s/he's in 12th grade and wondering why they can't graduate.

lol... yeah.. Unfortunately now your job retention is also based on whether or not your students pass. We find out tomorrow if she gets to keep her job because of the budget.

I probably won't know if I will have a job in September until some time over the Summer, and at that point, they could place me anywhere in the district... which could mean up to a 2 hour commute.

I feel ya. Stuff like that already happens here. One of my wife's co workers has yet to have a group of kids below the 'AG' level. She doesn't even know what it's like to have to teach kids. Yet my wife, year after year, gets kid after kid with some kind of socio-economic challenge. By Dec. she's ready to quit d/t the stress of trying to get these kids 'on level.'
They're basing the budget job cuts completely on point based system instead of performance. +1 for being a coach, or a group chair and so on. So because she has so little time outside of class to do anything else she may lose her job. If she does get to keep one she may get transferred to any of the other schools. At least we're finding out early. The end of September is way to long to wait. But if she gets the slip and we decide to move we've both agreed that the new location has to be cycling influenced. She's tired of me complaining about having no one to ride with.
