Folsom Lake Vandals aka Mountain Bikers
It is not uncommon to see ten or twenty mountain bike riders in a pack on the trails. Some are courteous to hikers, others just blow by you without a ring of a bell or a word of warning. For these people, hikers and horses are the invaders to their race track. They need to train for the next race. They need to go fast.

Revised Covered California and Medi-Cal Income Table for 2021 ARP
The income ranges in the revised table did not change because they were based on the already released 2021 federal poverty levels for income.
