Ninerfan,

My cat has been taking Cosequin for quite some time now. It makes a big difference in his mobility. He's 17 and still gets up and down stairs, plus jumping on and off our deck into the garden.

Hope you have a nice ride up Diablo today! I just checked temps- looking good albeit a bit windy.
My 73 yr old friend Joe Shami from Lafayette has asked me to go up tomorrow. This will be his...
Hey folks- the locals here spell it BENICIA.
Sorry we missed you. I was busy doing Pig Farm, Pinole, back to the Carquinez Bridge, then down through Crockett and UP Crockett Blvd. (That's a...
Thanks MP! The guys were pretty stoked up about doing this double. But, they all did well on previous rides plus made it through the DR in fine shape. I hope they were nice to you as they whizzed...
We'll start in downtown Benicia (same spot as the Cinderella training ride) at 8:30 AM. Haven't gotten a route yet, but may include riding the Benicia Bridge bike path to Martinez and then perhaps...
Ditto from me too! When we were up there last fall with BJ guys I was amazed that anyone could do that ride. I found the altitude was also an issue for me and to this day, despite what others seem...
three people from my area are doing the double as well. They are going for the Triple Crown. This will be their 3rd double. (They all finished the DR in fine style-one said training for doubles...
Thanks. I posted my comments over there.
I'm looking forward to your report too, JoBob. Seems like you weren't the only one suffering up there. We had a guy who crashed the day before so he didn't get to ride at all. (He's in the hospital...
So how did our "ladies" do this year? I've heard from the guys- enough already. JoBob- did you get your 5 pass pin????
I've been looking for something about you all but heard nothing. Am I in...
I am 5'9" + and have 2 road bikes (59 cm) as I have long legs and arms. As far as I know, WSD bikes were designed for women much shorter than you and I.
I've been riding since 2003, probably...
Speaking of homegrown food, many of our schools have gardens for the kids. They learn how to grow delicious vegetables and fruits. Fortunately, we have some dedicated parents and other volunteers...
where do you want to ride?
Marin county, East Bay? Peninsula?
We're all over the place in this area. If you are interested in an East Bay ride, let us know. BART is a great way to get over...
We're not far away so we may show up enmasse. Sounds neat!
Thanks for sharing this bit of news!!
I've ridden 14,000+ miles on my Scott bike and never have had to replace my cassette OR chainring. I ride hills here all the time (the only way out of town is over hills). I have 10 speed Ultegra...
Thanks! Great news.
I've been riding 100PSI on any tire I put on my bike. I seldom have flats. When I do, I have 2 new tubes in my seat bag along with my bike tools. Usually I give my flat tire to a friend who will...
JoBob- This is such great news! And, as you say- descending is very much a part of the Death Ride. Glad to hear you had a "little talk" with the infamous MP- grandest of coaches around here!
My...
Your fan club (which gets larger with each posting) is awaiting the finale!:p:p
Great story so far, amazing that you can give us so much detail. Awesome!
Better than watching the Amgen Tour! :(:(
Tofu,
When we've done this ride, we've left Benicia about 6:00- arriving in Sta Rosa about 6:45-7:00 ish. We go Hwy 37 to the cutoff (forget the name of the road- but it's after the signal light at...
Look into Egoscue Method. This form of PT is designed to help people with all kinds of pain. I"m currently doing a program of E-exercises which has helped me (posture related stuff) a lot. They...
JG- I have a Jame Quest ( steel frame) with Shimano 105 gearing . I've had this bike since '03 and have gotten many a mile on it (not sure how much since I also have a Scott carbon that I ride most...
I use Vredesteins from Performance on both my Jamis and my Scott bike. (the ones on the Jamis are Vredestein Fortezza SE Road Tire, the ones on the Scott are grey on the top which makes them very...
