Santa Cruz NBG Fest

Final Report (What Happened)
Story in Pictures
The Santa Cruz NBG (National Bicycle Greenway) Bike Fest is the final destination for a 25 city relay ride that began in Washington DC on May 2,2003. Here's the schedule for the ride.
Toward the end of connecting Santa Cruz, Davenport and Watsonville with a Coastal Rail Path along the Union Pacific right of way, this event will show why we need such an important through way -- NOW as it also showcases the work of the Friends of the Rail
Trail of Santa Cruz County
Besides relay riders and all the publicity that will result from their rides and mayoral receptions,
the Santa Cruz NBG Fest will also bring other long distance cyclists from far
and wide to San Lorenzo Park, across the river from the sponsoring city's
downtown.
As a festival celebrating cycling, and the bigger picture of reaching
out to other large population centers with bikeways that connect to
one another, the best of Santa Cruz will be on display for all the
world to see. The Santa Cruz NBG Bike Fest will also feature live music (five bands including Prince Lawsha's only US appearance) and speakers including Congressman Sam Farr, County Supervisor Mardi Warmhoudt, Assemblyman John Laird and Capitola City Councilman Dennis Norton.
Rep. Sam Farr (D-CA)
