Hi Bellas!

I got a friendly yell from one of you taking photos right before Packer Saddle
at D'Ville on Saturday and I was hoping I might get a copy of the photo... I was
wearing the Hawaiian print TeamWrongWay kit (in blue with white flowers) and was
sporting number 378...

I'd love some proof that I was there!

Thanks,

John

I am selling a 54" Kon Kula Lisa (Kona Zing) frame and Easton carbon seat post. 
Frame has the VBK paint scheme and looks awsome.  It is fast. I have mostly used
it for riding on my traininer and a few road rides in the summer.  I use my
cross bike the rest of the year.  Selling it for $300 or give me an offer and
we'll talk. We do have parts to build up the bike so if you need a full bike we
can talk about a price for that. 
you can e-mail me at: shan_bono@...
Thanks
Shannon H.

I've got a few pieces of Velo Bella clothing for sale.

1. Hincapie XS short-sleeved skinsuit, $60.00.  Excellent condition -
only worn a few times.

2. Brand spankin' new Louis Garneau long-sleeved jacket, $65.00.  Size
XS, but this is definitely in men's sizing; fits more like a women's
medium.  Warmer/thicker (a bit more insualted) than your average cycling
wind jacket.  Has three rear pockets - who doesn't love a jacket with
pockets?!

3. Verge long-sleeved wind jacket, $30.00.  Size XS in men's sizing;
fits more like a women's small/medium.

***Anyone who purchases any of the items above, I also have a couple of
Velo Bella extras I'll throw in for FREE, if interested.***

     * I've got a pair of slightly used Velo Bella Hincapie short-fingered
cycling gloves, probably a size medium.

     * I've also got a set of medium Hincapie Velo Bella arm warmers;
never worn, but the coloring has faded a bit. ***

Message me directly if interested in any of these items.

Hey Bellas,

I am a San Diego Bella who is transplanting myself to Boulder. I'm looking
for Bellas to ride with, as well as any possible tips on housing in Boulder.
I'm in town this week and next to find a place (and possibly ride a bit).

Please email me off-list if you are in Boulder and know of anything!

Thanks,

And there are a few of us who race cyclocross ... we will probably start playing
around the Park in June/July. The local races start in late October in Fresno.
Great course!
Cheers, 'Liz.

From:     FORA ESCA Remediation Program <esca@...>
To:     fort ord users <fortordusers@googlegroups.com>

For those who are interested, FORA will be hosting a Community Workshop
Tuesday, June 9th from 6 p.m. – 9 p.m. at the FORA Bridge Center.  The
ESCA Remediation Program Team will present more detailed information
about field work that is occurring on the ESCA properties; particularly
in the CSUMB Off-Campus and County North areas.

The Fort Ord Reuse Authority (“FORA”) is doing environmental cleanup
work near the East Campus housing area south of Inter-Garrison Road,
part of a 3,340 acre clean-up project.  The work involves removing old
Army munitions/explosives, and is being done to protect public safety.

As of May 8th, FORA officially owns the ESCA properties.

Safety Access Corridors have been established through the ESCA parcels
and signs are being posted to help guide you safely to the Bureau of
Land Management (BLM) recreational areas.  For your safety, stay on the
roads, respect work area signage, and maintain posted speed limits to
prevent accidental contact with workers and equipment.

Field crews are currently working south of Gigling Road, west of Watkins
Gate, north of Hay Rake Road and east of 8th Avenue. Crews are
conducting a surface investigation for Munitions and Explosives of
Concern (MEC).

Field crews have also removed vegetation on a 17-acre area south of
Inter-Garrison Road and east of 8th Avenue to confirm the quality of
previous munitions/explosives cleanup work.  Field crews will be
continuing quality assurance activities in this area.

For regular updates on field work, schedules and access corridors,
please call the FORA ESCA Remediation Program Hotline at (831)
883-3506.  More detailed information on project activities may be found
on the FORA website at: <www.fora-esca-rp.com.org>.   Direct inquiries
may be sent via email to: <esca@...>.

Hi, Emily:

Yes! There are Bella's in Fresno. One of the active Bella's is moving to Fresno,
so it only really leaves Denise and I that race.  Many are not active due to
recent births, pregnancies, and life in general. I am a new Bella - this is my
first year. Do you race?

Take care,
Brittany

Hello all,
I'm writing today to remind everyone about the upcoming USA Cycling Regional
Road Development Camp.  This camp is for junior (14-18 yr old) and espoir
(19-22 yr old) athletes and will be held the third week of June (14-19) this
year - starting on Sunday afternoon- and is being hosted at DeSales
University.

Now in its fifth year, the camp offers a full complement of skills
development and educational sessions, group rides, and some race experience
all led by USA Cycling certified, professional coaches.  Cost for the camp
is $750.00 for the week, which includes room, board and all instructional
fees.  There is an early-bird registration date has passed.  But, you can
still take advantage of a discount ($75.00/each) for "teammates" of 3 or
more...which would bring the individual registration cost down to
$675.00/athlete.


To register, request eligibility or view additional information directly on
USAC's web site click here:



https://www.usacycling.org/news/user/story.php?id=809




Please pass this information along to your colleagues and cycling-related
contacts.  If questions arise, please feel free to contact me directly at

Thanks!

I have the following VB items for sale:

*~XS Mens Delfino Tri Tank *(Here is the link to see a picture of the style:
http://www.louisgarneau-custom.com/products/index.asp?style_no=9E20381 ). I
got this one over the women's because it is so much longer in the torso, and
it doesn't have a shelf bra, which I like because I always use my own). I
would say the XS fits more like a usual small. Paid $70, would like to get
$50. Brand new with tags.

*~Small Wmns Tri Shorts*. These are super comfy and very lightweight.
Standard small fit. Paid $55, would like to get $45. Brand new with tags.

*~Small Longsleeve Skinsuit.* I wore this for one time trial. *Ultra*
comfortable if you are racing time trials, cyclocross, track, crits, road
races, etc...not good for triathlon because of the pads, but SO comfy for
everything else. Paid $110. Maybe $75?

*~XS Arm warmers.* Brand new, paid $30. $20.

*~Small Cool Ves*t (
http://www.louisgarneau-custom.com/products/index.asp?style_no=9E28033 ),
Again, brand new. Paid $65. $45.

All of the above items are from the order last year and never worn except
the skinsuit was worn once.

~I also have a 2006 (I think...the older blue one from Team
Estrogen)*jersey and shorts
*. The jersey is a small, the shorts are a medium I think. The shorts are
pretty worn, but I'd give them to you if you wanted the jersey. $35.

In addition, I have lots of random jerseys, mostly size medium. Some really
nice stuff. I'll post pictures later. Also have Sidi road and mtn shoes for
sale.

If you take multiple items, I can probably go lower on the prices. I'll post
to the Bella Boards later today.

Feel free to email me directly off-list with any questions.

Thanks,

Hey,

For an article in PEOPLE magazine, I'm trying to find people who due to the
economic crisis have moved in with their parents, or siblings who are living
together.

My editors are also trying to find divorced couples who are living together
due to the economy.

If you, or someone you know, would be willing to share your story (be
interviewed and photographed). Please call me at 571-970-1111.

Or shoot me an e-mail at wendygrossman@...

Many thanks,

Wendy Grossman

Slow down and relax:

To the BMW driver who honked at me Tuesday while I was bicycling on
Garden Road in Monterey: Perhaps it was because you thought I should
not
have been riding in the center of the lane. Let me assure you that I
was
not trying to annoy you or to make a point. For a short distance there
the lane is too narrow for a bicycle and a vehicle to travel safely
side
by side. Not only does the Vehicle Code specifically allow bicyclists
to
ride in the lane in that situation, but it is safer for me there than
riding next to the curb and inviting you to pass me in a narrow lane.

As time goes on, you will encounter more bicyclists and other
low-powered vehicles that cannot keep up with cars like yours, so it
will be necessary to adjust your driving habits and not treat every
street and road as if it were a freeway.

Love it!!



Where are those bumper stickers that say : "I Share the road" depicting a
bicycle and a car with ample distance from each other?  Each car being
registered should be obligated to stick one of those on its bumper and in
order to obtain one, they must get a brief 'education' about the need to
actually share the road with other types of commuters.
