While you were sleeping: Two audacious SF Randonneurs, Vidas Placiakis and Gintautis Budvytis, completed a permanent brevet, the Double Down, on Tuesday night....
And in fact Vidas even rode the hilly Big Basin 200K on Saturday (we cycled together for a long stretch). I suggested that his time was best spent sleeping and...
An interesting New York Times article on bone density, or the loss of it, in competitive cyclists. But it isn't clear how much it applies to us long distance...
Don't know if you have been following this but the forecast for Adin now has a 10% chance of showers (down from 40% yesterday). The temperatures and winds...
I've just got a call from my credit card fraud prevention specialist. Somebody went on a shopping spree in the local 7-11 and Safeway stores. Outrageous...
I have found that eating calcium carbonate tablets (Tums, etc.) occasionally on long rides, especially when it's hot, makes me feel better. It both settles the...
Looking at the amount of elemental calcium in Tums, it is about 200 mg for standard strength, so you would need about one tablet per hour according to the...
Fred, Apologies. I am not sure I understand this: "Another thing to consider is that if you are taking electrolytes (my endurox bottle does not list calcium),...

Rob, Bear in mind that I'm regurgitating what I know from chemistry classes, so don't put any real stock in it at all, I am not an expert or even amateur in...
Rob, Sorry for the additional reply but I was looking around and found this: http://www.wvmtr.org/electrolyte_replacement.htm I'm sure there's a lot of people...
Death Ride ticket for sale. $100 + postage/priority mail $5. Will have to miss what would be my ninth (9th) Death Ride due to tendonitis in my knee that...
I am working towards getting my RUSA R-12 award this year. For July I am thinking of doing the Moss Beach Ramble on July 18th or 19th -- start time 7 AM in...

Hi All, I posted the updated cueseet for next Saturday's mixed terrain 200k. Please print it and BRING at least one copy with you, I may bring a couple of...
While I was reading the GRR update page at http://davisbikeclub.org/goldrush/RiderProgress/updates.htm I found Max finished in under 60 hrs, that is freaking...
Thank you! It was great to see many familiar faces both riding and supporting the event. GRR is a beautiful ride through epic landscape. Highlights for me...
I was on hand when Max arrived in Susanville inbound. At that point he was about 4+ hours behind the lead rider who was riding solo. Max looked great and...

I was also impressed by Max and all the SFR riders and volunteers out on the GRR route too-- way to go gang. The new club jerseys really stood out, so too the...
... The gap between me and Wade (the first finisher) kept me motivated for much of the ride. :) We rode together in a group to Oroville (at an insane pace,...
... And Bill is being too modest in labeling his Grasshopper Water Stop "little". Looked more like an upscale lobby with an "all you can eat" buffet to me! In...
Aaron, This was great! Thanks. Bruce ________________________________ From: sfrandon@yahoogroups.com [mailto:sfrandon@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Aaron...
I liked this one too and then went back and looked at the one you did last year for the Davis 600k. BTW, did you use a new camera? It looks like the image...

Agreed! I forwarded it to the Davis Bike Club email list. I was very touched by the thank you to the volunteers at the end. I know other club volunteers will...
Ditto what Amy said. Many thanks, Aaron; very nicely done. (It was neat to see parts of the course and event that only the riders see too.) Cheers, Bill ... ...
