On my early evening ride in Marin I heard the singing of frogs off in the distance. As I reached the location of the source the crescendo of frog song peaked. The reed filled marsh was filled with what seemed like thousands of the unseen but heard. I walked out onto the small wooden bridge and recorded the song.

Went over to Marin for a Pine Mountain ride to end 2011. Grabbed a few photos with my GoPro Hero2. Beautiful day and surprisingly few others on the trails.
A foggy day hike up in Redwood Park. Took the opportunity to capture some of the trees.

Watch the Singlespeed A and B categories spin around Spring Lake Regional Park for the second race of the 2011 Santa Rosa Cup Cyclocross series. This course was built for speed but with a mix of technical to keep everyone honest.
The footage begins with the A racers blasting off on the first lap. Then 3/4 way through it transitions to the third lap and the B leaders charging back up towards the start/finish.
Real fun course, great event, and something to look forward to for next season.

Here’s your own view of the Single-speed A race at the 2011 Santa Rosa Cup. This is a new series with new venues. The first venue, shown here, was at “A Place to Play Park” in Santa Rosa.
This two race series will offer up the coveted Santa Rosa CX Cup to the lucky low point winners. I’ll just pretend it’s in my grasp, but maybe you’re one of the lucky racers in contention.

Watch the final event in the Bay Area Super Prestige Cyclocross Series. See the Master 45+ A Men as well as a few stragglers from the 35+ field mix it up at Coyote Point.
The course offered a few new variations such as the fly-over, the pea gravel chicane, and some additional twists and turns. But the old favorite, the evil sandy beach section, was still in the mix.
Highlights to watch for include:
Enjoy!

Watch the march of the category B men! A procession of racers descending on the Coyote Point shoreline. How they got there and where they are going is still a mystery.
The 2011 Singlespeed Cyclocross World Championships have come and gone from San Francisco, California. Don’t start crying! Relive the madness right now by watching this video.
See the massing of the racers, the oh so orderly starting line, logs of unbelievable size, the cesspool of filth, hand ups, mud pits, screaming fans, and so much more.
You were there? Then look closely as you might be immortalized here.
You weren’t there? Weep as you watch the glorious event unfold and ask yourself why you were so afraid.
Enjoy! And see you next year in Santa Cruz California!
