Mormon Emigrant Trail
Riding partner Ron Lew and I liked the climb up Mormon Emigrant
Trail so much when we did it as part of the Tahoe
Epic, we decided to do it again--this time an out-and-back ride
from Sly Park to Silver Lake. Totals for the ride: 62 miles, 6500
feet of elevation gain, tons of good times.
Heading out at 7:30 a.m. |

9-7-03 Assault on Mix
Canyon
Mix Canyon ... the mere name strikes fear in the heart of cyclists
throughout the greater Davis area. About 4.8 miles from bottom to
top, this climb gets steeper as it goes up, culminating in stretches
approaching 18 percent grade (check out the route profile for the entire
ride from Davis to the top and back).

Yes, we stopped at a bar.

We took the Campy Only Sachs on an early morning ride near Auburn,
CA, and stopped to take this photo of the spectacular Foresthill
Bridge. This amazing span soars 730 feet over the canyon

These deer near Lake Berryessa must have been reading the signs!

5-4-03--Riding in Napa County, California
Napa County is fairly close to the world headquarters
of Campy Only, and we enjoy making forays into this wonderful
area. Below, a few photos from the Angwin and Pope Valley areas.
3-31-03--Last Chance
for "March Madness" Miles
Last day for riding in
March--Paul, Karen, Bo, and I rode to Vacaville for lunch. After a
month of trying, we finally snagged a tailwind for the ride home!
3-23-03--Visit to the
"Glory Hole" Spillway at Monticello Dam
We visited the "glory
hole" spillway
that drains Lake Berryessa--it's really quite a sight to see the
whitewater cascading down the inside of the glory hole! Check
out our video, too!
