Yes, good point, Paul. As a former SAG for the event, I always carried a broom. One year, someone "land-mined" a section with a large patch of broken glass.

I remember the Marin IJ running articles a few years ago about the Lucas Valley residents trying to ban cyclists.  The subject always seems to get heated up a bit when the Marin Century approaches.  Given that this ride is only a few weeks away, I have to wonder if it will get worse.  I don't ride the area but hate hearing about this type of stuff.

It is unfortunate that these type of incidents happen.  I can understand the frustration but creating an unsafe situation where folks can get seriously hurt is a bit over the top.  I hope they find out who is doing this.

Yep, unfortunately this is being going on for a while now. Last year
during the SFR Russian River 200k, Veronica T and later JimG both got
flats form carpenter tacks in that area. Last Saturday I made a point
to my wife not to ride to far inside the nice wide shoulder near
Nicasio.
On a related note, some Nicasio residents are not very fond of cyclist
riding by and chatting early in the morning (or night), apparently
they can clearly hear the conversations  inside their homes. There are
signs posted at the store and on the road asking to be respectful in
that regard.

Spector added, "Collecting unusable parts from the debris piles of
nonprofit community bike projects has proven to be a win-win;
community bike DIY places are thrilled unusable parts are not becoming
land fill and the City is psyched the sculpture will solidify Santa
Rosa as bike-friendly."

Well, at least it's sure to get people talking!
