Joan,
Is old Bethel Valley Rd. (after they do the truck inspection) closed to runners
now? It was such a nice quiet place to run that kept you away from the traffic.

Be safe!!!
Walking/running/cycling in the dark: Wear bright, reflective clothing! A must!
It's spring, which means daffodils, cyclists and joggers are popping up along
the highways. It's also Daylight Saving Time, which comes earlier than it used
to, resulting in dark and gloomy morning commutes.
For foot travelers and cyclists, the old school safety poster read "Wear white
at night." The advice still holds.
Pedestrians, joggers and cyclists should wear light colored or reflective
clothing when walking or riding near roadways in the dark. Dark clothes make an
individual practically invisible under certain conditions. Wear white/bright
outer covering is a good idea; reflective tape is preferable. Some sort of
light is even better.
If you are walking/running/cycling along roads in the dark, make yourself
conspicuous. The advice is the same for daylight: Wear bright colors so
motorists will see you. Have a <a
