Cycling, Racing, Video 1 Comment »

 

First race of the 2012 Lake Sonoma Ricochet series. Captured the Pro/Expert field at the start and a few sections of the course.

It was a fun, hot, and technical course. And enjoyed the BBQ and Lagunitas beer served at the finish.

Top notch!

Just another late afternoon ride through Sibley Park. It’s that time of year when dodging cows and their pies are part of the ride.

A time-lapse view from the Berkeley High pit during race #2 of the 2012 NorCal High School MTB League series.

The view is of the “Pit Zone” with the start/finish off in the distance. You can spot the uphill start in the upper left. Started recording around 8am and stopped around 5pm.

Lots of wind, rain, some hail, and spots of sun during the day. One gust knocked the camera over (sideways shot).

Captured using my GoPro Hero2 in interval mode. One photo every 30 seconds.

2012 FUCI Approved Frame Sticker

2012 FUCI Approved Frame Sticker #uci

The FUCI Approved Frame sticker has been extended for the year 2012. The decision was made after a long deliberation by the overlords in the top secret FUCI sweat lodge atop the Matterhorn. It was a difficult decision but eventually concluded when supplies of mountain mushrooms and goat blood grog ran low.

Of course, fees will rise slightly for this year’s sticker. There are costs to cover. And new supplies to purchase…

(thanks to http://stickerobot.com/ for production)

OK – I have a small batch of stickers for a select few.

These are the larger 3″ diameter stickers.  Great for larger surfaces.  If you would like one then here’s how to get some.  Send a S.A.S.E.  (google it) through snail mail.  Wha???  Yup, the old fashioned way.  Step-by-step:

  1. You will need two envelopes.  One large enough to hold the second smaller envelope.  The second should be large enough to hold a sticker or two.
  2. Address the outer envelope to me:
  3. Address the inner envelope to yourself.  This envelope needs to fit inside the outer envelope (see step #1). Place a stamp on the inner envelope.  Do NOT forget the stamp.  If you forget the stamp it will be like heading to the trail without your front wheel.  Not  going anywhere soon.  One stamp should be enough.
    1. BONUS – If you include something for me along with the inner envelope then I will consider that when counting out stickers to return in your envelope.  Draw a picture of what you think of the UCI, send along your sticker, or something creative.  Cool.
  4. Now that you have everything together, place the smaller envelope (and optionally your bonus item) inside the first envelope.  Seal only this first envelope.  Make sure it’s addressed (step #2) and has a stamp.
  5. Ride out to your local mail box and drop it in.

Btw – Once you get your sticker and have applied it to the surface of your choice, grab a picture of it and e-mail it to me.  I’ll add it to the FUCI Approved gallery.

Cheers!

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.
