Sonoma Mountain

March 11th, 2007

Spring has come to California! The hills are green, the flowers are beginning to bloom and sleeveless jersey season has begun! Get out your sunscreen.

  • Scary road. Not really, but it is hard to shoot over your shoulder on the bike.
  • Poppies! Poppies! These have filled the field and they haven't even opened yet.

Sonoma Mountain is a nice little climb, about an hour drive from us. After the ride, we reconned in the car another climb and did our good deed for the day. We stopped to give a tube and lend our pump to another cyclist who had a flat. He had already used up his spare tube. There is a reason we carry two tubes with us when we ride.

North American Handbuilt Bike Show – 2007

March 3rd, 2007

While all the major bicycle makers have sent their production overseas, a small industry exists for hand built, custom and semi-custom bikes. The Show gathered some of the best in San Jose to torment anyone who loves bikes and did not win the lottery.

The Gallery is very cool.

  • Dave may have been the first to use raised lettering in place of a decal or painted product badging. He doesn't do it much anymore because it is very hard to paint well.
