Eight new #gas and #OilWells have been approved for San Ardo.
“These enhanced# oil recovery methods come with all the risks of traditional production,” says Cooper Kass, an attorney with the Center for Biological Diversity, a watchdog organization which has filed multiple lawsuits regarding California’s oil and gas industry. “They also bring a number of additional risks, including the potential for the high-pressure injection to damage the wellbore and/or crack the surrounding rock, which could lead to migration and #groundwater contamination.”—Report by Katie Rodriguez, #MontereyCountyNow

"'In an ideal world, we would have bike lanes with a physical barrier everywhere. That’s what’s needed. The reason more people don’t bike is primarily the fear of cars, and you can’t blame them.'”

Tom Little Bear Nason
"He took his final breath wrapped safely in the loving arms of his devoted wife, resting directly upon the sacred, ancestral land that nourished his roots and shaped his life.”
#Esselen #MontereyCounty #IndigenousPeople #MontereyCountyNow
About the Esselen Tribe of Monterey County: “Its efforts extend beyond the Esselen Tribe to encompass the protection and preservation of the Esselen, Rumsen, Chalone, Sureño, Chunch, and Guatcharrone peoples. This includes, but is not limited, the villages of Achasta, Chalon, Echilat, Ensen, Excelen, Esslenajan, Ixchenta, Jojopan, Kuchun, Pachepas, Sargenta-Ruc, Soccoronda and Tucutnut, all located within the sacred pre-historic and historic tribal of Monterey County, California.” https://www.esselentribe.org/copy-of-about-us

"Muck says the land where the actual bike trail would go would indeed be rent-free, but proposed parking would be subject to fair market rent. Sand City’s proposal calls for five lots, totaling 110 parking spaces, along the trail. 'We don’t normally put parking in with bicycle facilities,' Muck says. (TAMC’s latest markup of the draft agreement shows a strikethrough name change for the Multi-Use Trail and Parking Project.)”—Sara Rubin, "Sand City’s dream of a bike path hits problems with parking and pricing,” #MontereyCountyNow

We haven’t been doing much night riding lately. After biking in to town to pick up a Father's Day card for two special dads, we have a fresh memory of one of our favorite things about night riding: There are usually far fewer cars on the roads!
Another favorite thing: Being prepared to easily take theft-prone items in with us when we went inside the card store, thanks to having an Ortlieb Vario Lite hybrid backpack-bicycle bag. Having that terrific bag is only because of the kind generosity of Jeff Scully, Ortlieb USA LLC, who donated it in 2025 as part of a thoughtful care package of Ortlieb products, in support of our direct outreach by bike. https://bikemonterey.org/about/financial-donations/acknowledgements-dress-up-challenge-prize-donors
Another favorite thing: The card store employee who welcomed us to bring our bike indoors. That’s especially appreciated because there’s no bike rack or well-lit, line-of-sight place to lock up.

“ #Salinas High’s mountain bike team rides the Rec Trail all night and day, with little rest in-between,” by
Erik Chalhoub, #MontereyCountyNow"With the 24-hour ride, Assistant Coach Cathy Weidemann says it takes the students out of their comfort zone, and allows them to do something many have never done before: ride a bike in the middle of the night."
For some history of the team, see https://bikemonterey.org/monterey-county-teens-who-bike-including-mountain-bike-at-the-2017-california-state-high-school-mountain-bike-championships-and-elsewhere.html and

"In Monterey, Onette McElroy, 83, says she is 'here for the long haul’ and brought a portable stool for her spot at the corner of Del Monte and El Estero. She returned for her second No Kings protest.
“‘[POTUS 47] is a terrible representation of the U.S.,' says McElroy, who adds that she never protested before [his] presidency. 'I'm very frightened for our future.'”

Juan Bautista de Anza National Historic Trail
"During a campaign to improve the trail 20-some years ago, the Don Chapin Company donated gates and a portable toilet on the San Benito County side—which they continue to service, gratis, decades later. Chapin is hopeful about a current push by leaders at the California Welcome Center in Salinas to revive the trail and make it into more of an attraction.
'
“People go to the Peninsula all the time, but there is so much to do and see in our community,’ Chapin says.”

“'Seth Pollack spent his life teaching people how to see clearly – to look past easy narratives, sit with complexity, and do the hard work of understanding. It is a painful irony that in the days after his death, the story of how he died became one of those easy, inaccurate narratives.'

"About 12 percent of Monterey County’s oil and gas wells are located within 200 feet of a river or creek. This includes the Salinas River, which runs through the San Ardo oil field, and is a critical source of the county’s groundwater.
"In December 2025, over 4,000 gallons of oil and toxic wastewater spilled in the San Ardo oil field, just over a mile from where the Sargent Creek feeds the Salinas River. It is unconfirmed whether that spill was connected to an active or idle well.”

"Alongside the mobility hubs, the [Monterey County Zero Emissions Shared Mobility] study recommends creating #eBikeLibraries, which provide free or low-cost long-term lending for those who can’t afford an e-bike of their own. The study says the libraries would be ideal for farmworker communities and those with physical limitations who would benefit from a bike with an electric assist. The estimated startup cost for a library with a small fleet of e-bikes is about $282,000.”—Aric Sleeper, #MontereyCountyNow

As far back as 1975 corporate insiders were aware of potential risks. They called #paraquat’s long-term effects "a quite terrible problem” (Nov 11, 1975 ltr to #Chevron Environmental Health, Standard Oil of California).
Over 70 countries banned paraquat; it remains legal in US. #EnvironmentalProtectionAgency banned use on #golf courses but allows on crops.
Most US paraquat comes from China & UK—both banned paraquat’s use in their countries.

What’s on our mind? Gratitude for Public Works Department crews. We’d not biked Garden Rd near Fairgrounds / Mark Thomas intersection in over a month. When we did last night, we came upon a happy surprise: City of Monterey’s Public Works Dept had remedied uplifted pavement we reported last summer.
Where to report bikeway maintenance needs in Monterey County—e.g., vegetation overgrowth, traffic signal not triggered by bicycles (no bike detection), potholes, debris on shoulders or bikeways, bikeways not clearly marked, damaged or missing bikeway signs, construction obstacles, and other conditions interfering with safe and efficient travel by bike. https://bikemonterey.org/where-to-report-a-bikeway-maintenance-need-in-monterey-county-plus-maintenance-needs-for-california-state-highways.html
