Wine Country Metric Century May 6, 2011

Had a great time, except for Chalk Hill Road and my broken toe, but even the toe couldn't keep me down!

Weather, scenery, venue, people, and food were perfect. At times there was a bit of a head wind, but that actually felt good!

The Wine Country Metric Century is sponsored by Santa Rosa Bike Club. They are an amazing group and this is one of the best organized rides we've done. Will keep coming back year after year!!! Thanks for All You Do ! !

Ocean Beach's Future

The Master Plan Open House for the future of Ocean Beach in San Francisco was held yesterday, January 15, 2011 at the San Francisco Zoo Great Hall. It was very informative. http://www.spur.org/ocean-beach

It is not an easy solution as to how to address the erosion issues when you are dealing with man vs. nature, but strides are being taken to address this very task.

It seems that other communities along our Coast are also concerned, having the same issues and are looking forward to the future for viable solutions.

Thought this article was interesting inlight of the meeting yesterday for our beloved Ocean Beach's future...

FALL RIDING

October, in my opinion, offers some of the most beautiful scenery & weather. Even in San Francisco, where we have an over adundance of Fog and cold days, it's marvelous.

Indian Summer days are terrific for riding, enjoying nature and just clearing your head.

So, hoping that we will get more warmth & Sun before Winter hits us. It's always more enjoyable to ride when you're not all bundled up like an Eskimo and fingers feel like they're gonna snap off.

Happy Halloween!!!
