1. What is an LPI?
Leading Pedestrian Interval.
The pedestrian light turns green a few seconds before the vehicles receive their green light.
This setup allows pedestrians to step into the road before the cars move.
It’s a fantastic improvement because it makes pedestrians more visible.
Leading Pedestrian Interval (LPI)
As of recently, cyclists are allowed to make use of LPIs.
But we RAC riders do NOT use LPIs. We wait until the main light turns green.
Why?
5th graders should never have to ask themselves “Is this a red light I can cross?”
Their focus needs to be on power pedal and motorists, not ambiguous traffic signals.
And we are plenty visible.
2. Looking ahead. Please prepare now.
Saturday, December 5 at 3:30 pm
A flat ride around Mission Bay in the dark.
We decorate our bikes with lights
Any light works. Battery-operated ones work best.
Hot chocolate will be served upon completion.
This one is tons of fun and we look so pretty.
3. Please bring plenty of water to training rides. One bottle is not enough any more.
4. Our next ride

Mesa Verde Middle School | 8375 Entreken Way | SD 92129
Please arrive by 8:45 am.
Mile 5.1 begins a steep, ½ mile-long uphill on a dirt road.
Most of us don’t have the gears or tires for this kind of terrain.
Feel free to walk up the hill. I know I will.
No need to single file as you walk up the hill. 🙂
Mile 5.6 - 6.1 is on gravel.
Mile 6.8: Welcome to Hootersville, Del Mar Mesa’s very own farm
Goats Lenny and Squiggy are friendly and love carrots and apples.
They ask that we please bring carrots and apples.
The owners kindly ask that we don’t overfeed their goats.
