I can vouch the Storck bikes are seriously hot (!!) -- very light, love the white spokes & graphics, and yes! the VK ladies are ripping it up this year. Just so you know who I am, Charlotte...
I have to agree -- Vanilla's are reeeally nice.
After losing my 2005 Fuji Euro Pro carbon off the roof rack in late April this year (oh! the heartache!), my insurance company came through with...
Me me me! Me too! :D

Hey Bike Goddess,
I wanted to race Benicia this year, but with the kids in various sports that limit my training time and with being sick here and there, my fitness wasn't "there" for this year...
Owlice,
I'll venture a guess that just about all of us here understand completely about the therapeutic bit. My bike has taken the brunt of my frustrations through the years and then dished the...
V, I was in Maine just the week before! I just missed you guys! I actually got back home on the 20th, wee hours. I recall my cousin was talking about the Clam Fest coming up too (they were making...
It's the British side of me emerging! Actually, it was more like, "how the hell do I pose, fist up, wave, do I put my arm around the gal next to me at the same time, what....what do I do...help?!?" ...
Yea, it was a pretty decent showing for me, although I'm still not quite in race-shape yet (at least where I want to be). I was 17th across the line in the combined field, but 4th in the Masters 35+...
Well, as I was sick for much of the first part of February (didn't do anything for about 2.5 weeks), I wasn't in race shape to start with. So, my goal was to just hang on as long as I could. I did...
LOL I just saw this, Lorri -- thanks for the plug. Great race -- that course was aLOT of fun. I loved the chicane and the backside was great -- one big u-turn. The pothole in the final corner...
For Stage 4, since as part of the organizing committee for the Merced City I had the lowdown on where Team Astana would be coming in, we had prime viewing of Lance's first appearance. He got out of...
My DH and I saw Stage 3 at three spots -- the start in San Jose, the Patterson Pass KOM (KOM #2), and Hwy 132 where the course turned off of Kasson Rd. just outside Modesto. We tried to beat them...
Sorry BikeGoddess -- I haven't made it back here since the Amgen, so I didn't see your post.
From what I heard today from the century organizers, it went well. The weather held at slightly...
Why yes - yes I do! :p
Gnat and bH -- you asked about Merced Restaurants. Here is a link to a whole bunch of them, sorted by type: Merced Restaurants.
As for personal recommendations close...
Sweet! We'll be happy to have you here, bH. Let me know if you need restaurant recommendations (or anything else for that matter). My stomping grounds....;)

Gnat, where are you staying for Stage 4 (Wednesday) and are you watching the start or driving straight to Clovis? If you're stuck for a place to crash in Merced and don't mind my kids (three) & dog...
One of the gals I ride/race with (Charlotte Hart) has been picked up by Vanderkitten this year, so I "might" go up to Santa Rosa to watch the ladies' race for Stage 1. She won't be racing, as the...
Hi BikeGoddess and All -- that time of year again, eh? And hello!
Plug opportunity:
That Merced ride that BG mentioned is our bike club's own Merco Foothills Century on February 28. There is...

Aaaaaaaaahhhhh!

From the Royal Old Axe's picking, to just a regular old pick axe.

What a waste of good brew. :rolleyes: Assuming it was good, anyway....
Last year, we had a rash of incidents in our group, ranging from altercations with motorcyclists, empty water bottles,...
From witches with long noses....to Pinnochio! (and that's no lie)

Great job, Jobob! Looks like a great route! And congrats on finishing under your checkpoint time. ;)
I'm slightly jealous that the hills over there in the Bay Area are still so green. I rode...
