1-2-201087KogswellPoint Reyes Station Ride. First ride of the new year! Met up with Esteban, Aaron, Bradley, Cyclofiend, and Adam for a ramble out to Point Reyes Station. Bumped into One Happy Cog (aka Franc) at Bovine. The big distance kinda hurt, but I did and felt better than expected overall, given my lack of riding and recent butt problems. Rattle from the bike's front rack appears to be resolved, per the recent fix. 87 miles, 9am to 6:30pm or so. photos
1-9-201073KogswellParadise Valley Loop with Cyclofiend and Gino, then to gain some extra miles, rode from Sausalito up to San Rafael, escorting Jim E. on his way home. Butt started bothering me around mile 50, but quieted down some by the time I got home. We'll see what tomorrow brings. photos
1-30-201080KogswellSolo Nicasio Loop. 12:15pm to 7:45pm. Fell into a flooded road in Sausalito. No butt problems today! photos

2-15-201075KogswellJohn, Gabe, and I revisited the San Pedro Mtn Road / "Planet of the Apes" route we enjoyed almost exactly a year ago. Good times, muddy times. 75 miles or so, 9am to 6:30pm including BART ride home from Millbrae. photos

3-20-201030FujiMarin Headlands loop. Then hung out at Box Dog Bikes afterward.
4-3-201024Trek400Installed V-O quill adaptor and 100mm stem on Trek 400, then rode a short Conzelman/Headlands loop. The bike's fit is getting better.
4-10-201040BontyRLAborted Lagunitas Lake mixter loop -- cold, fatigue, and rain caused us to cut our route short @ Pantoll Ranger Station, so instead we climbed up to West Point, then descended down into Mill Valley for coffee at Peets. Rode with Carlos, Greg, and newcomer Nick, who was a very strong climber indeed, and rode a sweet old Trek 420 with CX tires. Bonty's new saddle (WTB) worked pretty well, but the shifting still sucks.
