“ #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

Our sympathy to the family and friends of Linda Theresse Munoz of Salinas.
Linda suffered fatal injuries after being struck on her bicycle by a truck, and then by two additional vehicles, while biking in Salinas on March 14.
We have no details on this collision so can’t comment about the circumstances except to say: #KSBW’s report https://www.ksbw.com/article/bicyclist-struck-killed-salinas-california/70760894 mentions she was biking “in dark clothing.” High visibility apparel is not required by law, and while we do suggest it (https://bikemonterey.org/tips-for-tourists/more-bicycle-safety-gear), being visible can’t protect you from drivers who are texting, speeding, under the influence, etc.—as we experienced and pointed out last week https://sfba.social/@bikemonterey/116219787478611800.
We don’t know if Linda’s bicycle had the equipment required by California law for biking in the dark (see #9 in our Calif bike law summary https://bikemonterey.org/wp-content/uploads/Bike-law-summary-2025.pdf).
