joanie's resting, i am not.

while i was bike parking last week, joanie decided to take a rest along a wall for her closeup.

Joanie resting #mixte #gwsf



the other day someone asked what the ride is called that i am doing on saturday (there is also a populaire to point reyes that day as well). it's called the "cinderella classic" and takes place in the east bay. unfortunately, the skies look grey and wet for that day. while the ride is rain or shine, i am not. it is a female only ride and the metric century we're doing sounds pretty mellow. i am doing this in preparation for riding the marin century (100 miles again!). this saturday's ride is with my alumni group! how exciting.

Another 115

October 3, 2009. San Francisco to Point Reyes and back. This is what we looked like at the end of that ride.

Back Where We Started From

This is what we looked like at the end of this ride.

obligatory end foto

This is what we looked like while we were riding.

Bicycle Lane

There were hills. We rode up them. There was heat. We drank water. There were trees. We appreciated them. When beer:30 caught up with us in Fairfax, we answered the call. This is what we looked like.

Chupacabra!!

I wonder if they have a Cucuy dark.

Deliberation

Beer needs appropriate music. Good thing there is always a jukebox when you need one.

Flashdance Moment

The latest in ride fashion is Flashdance style. What a feelin', keep believin'...

It's All In The Hair, Baby!

Some of us had better hair than others. I think he goes to a special barber who makes sure the wind always hits him at exactly the correct angle.

Thus endeth the ride report. Ride on!

We Return To The Scene Of The DFL

Last year at this time, as some of you may remember, Meli and I decided to try our hands at long distance riding. We took our first ride over 40 miles from San Francisco to Point Reyes and back with the SF Randonneurs.

Back Where We Started From

It was a great time, and this weekend, we do it again! This time, we have the Calitexican to keep us company, along with several other friends and 120ish others! There were 35 people on last year's ride, many of them were experienced long distance riders. This year, there are a whole lotta new-to-distance riders that have signed up and I can't wait to see all their bright, shiny bicycle faces on Saturday morning!

Shadow Play

Who knows? Maybe this year we won't be dead freakin' last, just among the dead freakin' last.
