Mark, count me in I'll be there as long as it's not raining please save me a spot in your car.
I want to ride but I don't need to crash on wet roads or get sick for the holidays.
 
So we're going to ride hard and fast and be home around noon right ?

Initial 10-day forecast calls for showers on Weds/Thursday next week...let's hope that's wrong and the nice weather holds.

I am brining the turkey and making the stuffing on Wednesday so my Thursday morning will be totally free, and we'll have the usual logistics of carpooling from Peet's at 7am so everyone can get home and under the spousal/SO time limit of noon to 2pm or so. We should be able to roll at 8am, figure on 2 to 2.5 hours for the 18+ miles of climbing to the Lick Observatory, and an hour down back to the cars.

As has also been tradition, someone can post a Half-Hammie Climb to Grant County Park. Also, you will want to have a bit of coordination on your carpools--riders who climb faster and need to be back home on the early side can ride together, less time constrained folks can carpool together...you get the idea.

I will re-edit the Forum post to show the carpools--e-mail me directly if you are offering up your car/truck/van to pool--so far we have:
--Ride Captain Mark: 3 additional riders and 2 additional bikes,
--Brian: Jim plus 2 more riders and bikes
--DRD: plus one rider
--Pedro: willing to drive or ride
--Anthony D: needs ride

I haven't heard of a Half-Hammie Ride Leader. Anyone, Bueller?

This is a very cool event--I went to the old VeloSwap several years ago, and there were tons of vendors selling a little bit of everything cycling...component vendors, bike shops, just plain folk selling stuff...think a huge bicycling flea market.  Hit this if you can over the holiday weekend.

The ballots themselves have been printed on postcards which require, at minimum, a $0.27 stamp (or put multiple ballots in an envelope and mail for $0.42). The ballots must be returned to our Secretary, Zoraida McNulty, by the end of the day next Monday, November 17, 2008 so that the results can be announced prior to the next Board meeting.

Thank you to all of those who attended yesterday's membership party.
Good food and good company made for a great afternoon.

In addition to the merry-making, we announced a new Board of
Directions. As every position ran uncontested, there was no need for
an election and members were introduced to the BOD at the party. The
new directors take over in January. Congratulations to the new BOD:

President: John Horton
Vice President: Peter Deutsch
Treasurer: Lars Hansson
Secretary: Zoraida McNulty
Ride Commandante: Jim Gordon
Membership Coordinator: Mike Webber
Sponsorship Director: Gwyn Kanekofuller
Web Chair: Melne Murphy
Member at Large: Eric Beisterfield (sp)
Member at Large: Brenda Fuller
Member at Large: VACANT

No, VACANT isn't a new member. The position really is open. Due to a
last minute resignation, the Board of Directors has one vacancy left
to fill. If you are interested in the Member at Large position, you
MUST contact me or Gwyn by Sunday, November 9th. On Monday, every
member of Team Alameda will be mailed a paper ballot so that we can
each take part in electing someone to this position.

Member at Large is responsible for attending Team Alameda BOD meetings
and reporting on what the membership wants to see happen. You are a
direct liason between the members and the BOD. Member at Large has
full voting rights and performs duties as needed.

Please contact me or Gwyn via email, if possible.

Thanks,

Casey

Subject: Argonaut Death Ride Redux Report

Team Alameda-ites and Argonauteers:
 
Truly an EPIC, EPIC day...as much total climbing in a "hard" century in half the miles, and with three very uncharacteristic climbs with steep, steep pitches that I would holler "Assassins" if an organizer put any one of Bohlman, Montebello, or Sanborn in a century! (You are an excellent student of Tour de France history if you know that reference).

Yesterday's route was the reverse of this spring's Argonaut Death Ride, and I was glad Bohlman came first. Equal numbers of ACTCers and Team Alameda-ites started--18 in all. The last time I climbed it was on the spring's version of this ride--I had managed to avoid Bohlman during my Argonaut after-work rides all season with well-placed business trips, and for this trip I had my VDO MC1.0 which gives an every-five-second readout of the percent grade. The real nasty stuff (20 - 21% grades) are liberally spinkled throughout the first 3 miles of the climb, and now I am wondering if the left turn to On Orbit (a very consistent 15 - 18% grade) is easier than the "all Bohlman" option with 21% pitches for decent stretches before On Orbit hooks back up again. Anyway, I was glad we did that MoFo with fresh legs, and the last 1.3 miles of rollers along the ridgeline have you arrive at the road end in pretty perkie fashion. Glad to see Melne setting the pace for Brian and I up Bohlman--she has really come on after her unfortunate accident--but more on her later.

And you begin to appreciate the steepness of the climb when you descend Bohlman--"for Christ's sake, I just climbed this?!?!? No way!" Two ACTCers peeled off for home at the bottom of Bohlman, and, after watering up at the cemetary at the bottom of the hill, we tackled Highway 9. Highway 9 is an absolutely magnificent descent--one of the best in the Bay Area--but on weekends the climb gets quite choked with motorcycle and car clubs using it as the main conduit out of the San Jose area out to the coast. And, without catalytic converters, motorcycles stink, and when groups of 20 - 30 pass you when you are seriously climbing (Hwy 9 is 7+ miles with very consistent 6 - 8% gradient), you take in quite a bit of that crapola in to your lungs. On weeknights, Hwy 9 is quiet and makes for a nice climb--weekends is a different story. BUT, and here is the big but, the traffic is all going out of Saratoga, so a bicyclist can pretty much have the road alone to pop off a magnificent descent...which I did. Of course, offering to lead the descent so I could make sure everyone made the turn on to Sanborn, I had a wonderfully swift, car free descent to Sanborn--about 5 miles of descending bliss, with only a brief touch of the brakes at the top few switchbacks. Everyone came down pretty much in a group, but once everyone started up Sanborn, I hadn't seen Melne or John, so I waited, and waited, and waited. I was starting to get worried (and with no signal on my cell phone in the remote hills) when they came down to the intersection and we three started up Sanborn. Turns out John got cross-chained so bad as he started the descent, he had to pull his rear wheel off to get the chain freed up.

Sanborn has two very steep pitches, but they are short and have nice "flat" zones to recover from each effort, and I told EVERYONE to turn right at the 1 mile point up Sanborn and go up to the hostel, where my lovely wife Janet had offered to bring up water and food for a nice snack break. We were all gathered round the Hostel parking lot when Lais said, "Hey, where is Stan? ..and Brian? ... and Death Ride Dan?" Well, Sanborn Road continues straight from the hostel turn off and climbs a bit more to Sanborn County Park, then dead ends, so I figured the boys would realize their mistake eventually, remember something about "hostel" and follow the signs back to us. Lais, feeling peppier than I was at that point, rode down the hill and found our lost sheep and brought them up to our rest stop. Ice cold water, bananas, and ClifBars were most welcome, and we all rested in the deep shade of the redwood forest surrounding us. Luckily, as the day was warming up, most of our climbing was in the deep shade and mostly nice and cool for a day that topped out in the mid-80s.

A couple more ACTCers peeled off at that point, so the group descended back to Hwy 9, then popped over Mt Eden/Pierce to get over to Montebello. Stan took an early left and got lost for a little bit, so he and I carried a six minute handicap as we started climbing that final beast. Knowing that he's a much stronger climber, I told Stan to "go ahead, take off" and all I got was "I can't--I'm tired" so we both struggled up the 5.3 mile climb together. Just past halfway, after a short respite of relatively flat terrain past the Montebello School, I got a rousing cramp in my left quad, so I stopped and worked that bad boy out. Yup, it was one of those days--once we got to the top, I heard many stories of leg cramps, so I know the group had a good, tough workout--I had done my job as a ride leader! I usually climb Montebello in 45 - 50 minutes, but 62-plus minutes was the best I could do. And Stan was my constant companion, sqeaky chain and all. So, the remaining riders posed for a shot from John's camera phone, and imagine my surprise when I heard that Melne was one of the first batch to hit the top. As we were talking about this ride, Mel originally said that "she'd give a couple of climbs a go, but she'd probably bail after that," but there she was, proudly standing at the summit of Montebello, beaming, fully recovered from her nasty crash and BACK ON THE STREETS AGAIN.

Definitely my "Comeback Player of the Year!"

We busted off a fine descent and stopped at the rider memorial on Stevens Canyon Road (for the two racers killed by the "sleeping sheriff") before heading in to the flats of Cupertino and Saratoga back to the Argonaut Center. What a day--everyone was spent, but happy, and my legs, despite heavy doses of Endurolytes, are still pretty stiff from all that nasty climbing. Great Day; Great Weather; Great Riding; and Great Company!

My Polar Stats: 50.4 miles, 7520 feet of climbing (ouch!), a little over 5 hours saddle time, 9.9 mph average speed.

Dear All,

I wanted to let you all know of The Bike Hut which will be of value to
Bay Area cyclists. My wife, Christine, and I recently bought a farm on
Tunitas Creek Road in Half Moon Bay - http://potreronuevofarm.org/ -
which we're transforming into a non-profit dedicated to the food
justice movement. We'll grow organic vegetables and offer nutrition
and cooking classes for local low-income families, provide
environmental education programs for all ages and more.

But we also have a one-car-garage-sized building right on Tunitas
Creek Road which is now named The Bike Hut. Since this road is so
popular for bicyclists, we wanted to provide you a rest stop and
homemade energy snacks and drinks. At the moment, there's just a small
picnic area for your use and we'll always have free water there for
you. It will probably take us a few months, but we're working on
recipes for organic/vegan energy snacks and drinks which we'll sell.
For now, feel free to stop, picnic, get some water, etc, and keep an
eye out for more developments.

We're one mile inland from Hwy 1. You can't miss The Bike Hut - it's
bright red - and a great place to take a pause before starting the
ascent up Tunitas Creek Road to Skyline Blvd.

We'd appreciate your passing the word to others in the bicycle
community. If you have any ideas on how we can get the word out,
please let us know. Also, if any of you are planning any rides or
events where we could be a pit stop, please contact us.

Thanks,
Bill  and Christine

Come one, come all!
The 2008 TA annual membership party is this coming Sunday!

All members should have received an eVite. Please RSVP if you
have not yet done so, to ascertain a head count  (spouses and
children are invited, too). If you did not receive the eVite, you can
RSVP with a how many will attend to the membership chair (use
the "contact" page of the teamalameda.com website). Party
details can be found in the member's area of the forums on the
website.

There will be BBQ food and beverages,  and awards will once
again be presented and this year, there will be an award and
prize for the "Coolest Bike." So, ride (or bring) your special ride to
the party, and we'll vote for the baddest bike.

Additionally, Team Alameda Board Elections will be held.

So plan to be there this Sunday, October 26!

Here is my listing for this Saturday's Long Training Pace Group Ride--this is a very difficult ride with very steep, long climbs:
 
Sat, 25 Oct 2008
Argonaut Death Ride Redux

9:00 AM
60-70 mi, 6 M


aka: Tour of the Argonaut Alps II. As matching bookend to another Argonaut Monday/Thursday Season, your esteemed ride leader would like to host a �Death Ride Redux� by hitting the toughest goats in ONE DAY that we climb all through the season. Meet and be ready to roll at 9 AM at the Argonaut Shopping Center on Sunnyvale-Saratoga road east side just south of Pierce in Saratoga. Park at Mountain Mike�s Pizza. There are numerous bail-out points for those not interested in the full ride. Co-listed with Team Alameda. Wet Pavement cancels.
Mark Pryor
410-8109

 

So, I will be driving, and since Dan has driven a lot lately, I owe him a ride, so I will have room for two people and one more bike (my rack only holds 3 bikes).  I am trying to convince my wife that she could spend a good amount of time in downtown Saratoga and Los Gatos, as well as having some refreshments for us at the top of Sanborn (end of climb 3 of 5), but no guarantees on support.  I will identify all water stops, and downtown Saratoga has a variety of stores.

 

So, starting the carpool list: Pryor, DRDan, one more rider and bike (assuming my wife comes along).  I will also post this on the Forum.  Come back at me with carpools; don't assume you can show at Kaiser and get a ride down.

 

Remember, this is a very difficult ride, but there are bailouts from every climb (it's all centered around downtown Saratoga, and it's easy and straight-forward to get back to the cars at the Argonaut Center).  For directions, just google map the following address:

 

Mountain Mike's Pizza

12850 Saratoga Sunnyvale Rd
Saratoga, CA

 

We park at the north end of the lot around the side of Mountain Mike's.

Message about Greg Matthews' 2nd Annual JuJu Pinball Fundraiser for BORP!

Hey All,

My pinball fundraiser for BORP was a smashing success again this year. There was a fabulous turnout and all that came had a wonderful time. Thank you to those that attended and donated and those that couldn't attend but donated anyway. If you did not make it and would like to make a donation, you can send me a check made out to BORP. My address is 309 Fair Haven Rd, Alameda, Ca, 94501.

A special thank you to Michael Schiess for allowing me the use of Lucky Ju Ju Pinball!!! He is the owner and operator of Lucky Ju Ju Pinball, a member of Alameda Aquatic Masters, and all around great guy for those of you who do not know him. If you didn't get enough of the Lucky Ju Ju, it is open to the public Friday and Saturday from 6:00 to midnight and Sunday's from 4:00 to 9:00 PM.

Thanks again to everyone for your wonderful support and just for being you!!!

Cheers,

Greg

My SJBC mailing list also got hit through me, so a worm could have gotten the addresses off the TA site and took control of the accounts in that list.  No one else seems to have been affected.

I've emailed yahoo.com but I doubt they can do anything about it.  Do change your passwords, but those things are so 1880s they're completely useless.

Here's crossing my fingers that everyone will go to encrypted authentication in the near future.

This is the same spam that was sent through my email account.  I have performed a complete virus scan on my computer and it is clean.  Since everyone on TA is included it seems possible someone has gotten into the TA site.

This is the same spam that was sent through my email account.  I have performed a complete virus scan on my computer and it is clean.  Since everyone on TA is included it seems possible someone has gotten into the TA site.

Dear friend,
I have bought some electronic products from a
company from China some days ago, I found that the
quality is very good, and it provided me the
best price and service. So please allow me to
introduce it to you. Thank you very much.

My SJBC mailing list also got hit through me, so a worm could have gotten the addresses off the TA site and took control of the accounts in that list.  No one else seems to have been affected.

I've emailed yahoo.com but I doubt they can do anything about it.  Do change your passwords, but those things are so 1880s they're completely useless.

Here's crossing my fingers that everyone will go to encrypted authentication in the near future.

I will also note this as such in the Forum posting:

I am canceling the Ride Leader Training because I have resigned from my Ride Captain position.  The new Ride Captain position will need to reschedule this training, perhaps with new/changed content.  Sorry.

Gene from Alameda Bike wrote me and asked me to pass this query along
to the TA membership:

---
(Alameda Bicycle) is looking to revise our design for next year.
Attached is an example of our website, print, and in-store signage.
i'd like your thoughts on the following two designs. does one or the
other work for you? or are certain elements must-have? any comments
would be appreciated. thanks - gene

---

To see the new designs, log into the yahoo group, and navigate to the
"FILES" section. In the list of files, you'll find a pdf called
"AlaBikeNewDesign.pdf". Download it and view the file. Page 1 & 2
represent the first of two design themes, and page 3 & 4 are a
different design idea.

Please let Gene know if you have a preference, or which one appeals to
you more!

Attention all Team Alameda members:

The Board of Directors voted on Tuesday to adopt a new time-frame and
process for elections of board members. In the past, board members
have been elected by the Board of Directors in the spring time
(typically March). In the new process, board members will be elected
by the membership at the annual membership party (October). A
committee consisting of myself, Gwyn, and Warren will handle the slate
of candidates and the election itself will be run by the Vice
President (Peter) and Secretary (Zoraida).

Our bylaws state that the director positions are 2-year terms, the
officer positions 1 year terms. (Something I just learned... thought
it was only the president.) Officers & Directors can be re-elected
into their positions or run for another position when elections come
around. We have 9 of the 11 positions on the Board of Directors
becoming open in October. This is the official call for members who
wish to run for an officer or director position:

Open Officer Positions:
President
Vice President
Secretary
Treasurer

Open Director Positions:
Ride Captain
Membership Coordinator
Sponsorship Chair
Web Chair
Member at Large

If you are interested in one of these positions, please contact me via
personal email (c a s e y _ l a r i m o r e at yahoo dot com). I will
send you the description of duties associated with the position and
will try to answer any questions you might have. You may also speak
with Warren Hope or Gwyn Kanekofuller and they will assist you.

IMPORTANT: IN ORDER TO BE CONSIDERED FOR THE SLATE, YOU MUST MAKE YOUR
INTEREST KNOWN TO ME, WARREN, OR GWYN BY 9/15. WE WILL BE PRESENTING
THE PRELIMINARY SLATE ON 9/16.

Serving on the Board of Directors gives you a unique opportunity to
affect the growth and direction of the club. It's good work. We need
you, so speak up!

~Casey

The 2008 schedule for these "informal" climbing time trials, with one on our backyard.

Tim C and I did the 100 mile time trial in this series in February, and there's a nominal charge if you don't have a racing license.  These are well run and feature some very hard core types, but attract a lot of rec riders too.
