The Bantam Classic is still delivering a great experience. First, there’s the great riding/racing with some of NorCal’s finest. And then the post party where the bantams get to shake out their tail feathers. Cheers!
The Bantam Classic is no longer a spring chicken as it moves into its third year.

A round of applause to the sponsors GU Energy products, 3 Chicken Wheels, lunch from Fork Catering, and free beer and post-race venue from Lagunitas Brewing Company. ...
2014 Marin CX Ride - K n K 2014 Marin CX Ride - SyCip Cleaned and tuned up my SyCip cyclocross bike and headed out for the first long ride with it in a long time.

The promoters put together a great deal with the race and a BBQ and drinks afterwards. Always a fun crowd of all categories mixing it up. ...

A beautiful and gradual climb up a canyon to the geysers (hot springs). A quick little descent back to the vineyards. And then one more stroll up to the “flat” area with creeks and pine trees. ...
One of the toughest of the Grasshopper Adventure Series, the Sweetwater, piled on the pain this time. The route strung together Sweetwater, Old Caz, Fort Ross, and then ended with a climb up Coleman Valley from Hwy 1. Ouch. It. Hurt. More info: http://www.grasshopperadventureseries.com
2014 Bart Animation Created a little animation that represents waiting for my BART train. Watch for it… my train does arrive. Life of commuting in the bay area sure is a pain.
