It has been a great season of cycling. I recorded a few memories on the randonneuring page, and wrote an extended report of the Gold Rush 1200K randonnée.

For the first time in over a year, I've added some content to the randonneuring page, including ride reports for the 2009 San Francisco 300K and 400K brevets. (I wrote both of these within days of the rides, but was too disorganized to actually post them.)

The randonneuring page has two new reports about PBP. One is mine, in English, and describes my failed attempt, and the other is by Ranieri Casalini, in Italian, and beautifully recounts his successful ride.

After all the problems at PBP I had the opportunity to ride for a few days in the Alps. I had a much better time, and you can read a report here.

Eight bikes in one house, and no bike storage. What to do? Our very skilled downstairs neighbor Behrad and I built a 13-foot shed in the back yard. It was a great weekend project.

With some delay, I have written ride reports of the Santa Rosa 600K and Big Basin 200K brevets. As usual, they are linked from the randonneuring page.

I recently wrote a ride report of the Davis 400K brevet. It is also linked from my randonneuring page.

The brevet season in California starts early. Despite skipping some rides I had signed up for to take care of our new baby, I already have four brevets under my belt. The randonneuring page has some notes and a ride report, and more coming soon.

I had no time to write any randonneuring ride reports in 2006, but recently I decided to jot down some notes and results before the memories became hopelessly jumbled. You can find them here.

Last weekend (March 2-4) the San Jose Convention Center hosted the North American Handmade Bicycle Show. It was a feast for the eyes. Read my report here.

Last Friday I cycled up Mount Diablo. A storm had just coated the summit in white. Vapor rose from the pavement, and ice-coated pines shimmered under the brilliant blue sky. It was magnificent. I took some photos.
