6-19-201150FujiMet up with Carlos, John, Gino, Dan, and Stefan with a plan to ride the Bolinas Ridge Trail mixed terrain route. Unfortunately, complications set in early on -- mostly me feeling tired and out-of-sorts, so when we got to Pantoll Ranger Station, the group split, with Dan rolling homeward via pavement, John and Stefan continuing on the prescribed course, and Gino, Carlos, and I opting to climb up to West Point Inn and make our escape down Railroad Grade to Mill Valley, where coffee was waiting. Still got 50 miles for the day, and my first long mixter ride for 2011. Happy to report that, overall, the collarbone was happy, even with all the bumps and the (humongous, according to Gino) weight of my Camelbak! 8am to 3:30pm or thereabouts. photos

11-25-201156Trek400Seven Sisters with Lee, Franklyn, and friends. Met up with Lee, Franklyn, Ron, and a bunch of new folks for a ride over Mt. Tam's Seven Sisters on Black Friday. It was really foggy on the mountain, making for damp air and wet roads, plus a bit of a chill, but otherwise it was a really nice 56 mile ride. photos

12-18-201130BontyRLMarin Headlands Loop; out Miwok back Bobcat. Rode the Bonty RL with new Kona P-2 rigid fork on a Marin Headlands loop. 1:30pm to 5:30pm or so -- around 4 hours total. Rode across the GGB, up Conzelman, down Coastal, up Miwok, Old Springs Trail, down to Tennessee Valley, then back up Marincello, connect to Bobcat, to Rodeo Valley, back up Coastal, down Conzelman, back across the GGB, and back home. I'm guessing about 35-40 miles total. Bike worked fairly well. New handlebars are good in terms of reach and height, but are too wide. Rear shifting is still wonky in the large chainring. Bike still shimmies, even with the new fork, too. photos

12-26-201153KogswellTo Fairfax with Gino
12-30-201165Trek400Rode with Esteban and Aaron on a Seven Sisters/Alpine Dam loop. Bumped into Robbins and Keith B. along the way, who rode up Railroad Grade with us. Near the top, we also bumped into Carlos and Greg. We descended down towards Mountain House Inn, and those four decided to head back to Mill Valley, while Esteban, Aaron, and I continued on towards Mt. Tam. Was quite foggy and drizzly as we climbed Tam and traversed the Seven Sisters into Alpine Dam, and we got pretty wet. I, of course, waited too long to don my raingear. The drizzle let up as we reached Alpine Lake, and by the time we were in Fairfax it was gone. We stopped at the Roastery for coffee and eats before slogging back home. 8:30am to 5pm.
