June 17, 2007: New
Fixie Not a ride, but a bike. We saved this Schwinn Suburban from
the landfill. Took off all of the derailleurs and shifters,
changed out the stock wheels for a set of fixed-gear wheels that were
hanging in the garage, put on a seat and basket from the parts bin, and
ended up with a fun town bike. Total cost: $0

May 4-6, 2007 Last PBP Qualifier, 600 kilometers from Davis to the Mendocino coast
and back. Click on the image for more photos.
April 28, 2007 Third PBP Qualifier. I was scheduled to ride the Davis Bike Club's
400K, but illness intervened and I missed that ride. The Santa Rosa
Cycling Club's 400K was available, so I rode this qualifier and then
(see above) the DBC's 600K the next weekend. This 400K went from
Windsor (near Santa Rosa) to Clear Lake via Cloverdale and Ukiah.

January 21: Winters to

turned out) that the wind wouldn't be as bad in Napa County.
Presented below, several CampyCam videos from the ride.
