The new 511.org bikemapper

2009-11-29T21:51:05Z

Ahoy, cyclists.

If any of you have used the "bikemapper" service from 511.org in the past
few years, you'd have noted that it has a lot of very useful information
about urban bike routes in the bay area, presented in a horrible, slow,
outdated web interface. Well, they're finally switched to using Google maps,

route negotiable.

Woops, so turns out i have a field trip on Tuesday. So, the ride will
be even earlier (9am), and will be about 2.5 hrs. Sorry to get
everyones' hopes up about a 4hr weekday ride.

Hey everyone,

You may notice that this is a pretty early warning for the Tuesday
weekly ride, but I'm planning on doing 4(ish) hours with minimal
stopping. Having been out of town for thanksgiving break I didn't get
in any miles this week, so I'm trying to play catch-up. I'm open to
suggestions about a route.

rare stanford socks at longscycle.com

2009-11-27T20:06:40Z

Just to let everyone know that the rare Stanford socks from longscycle.com
have made a reappearance since Sasha's last sighting two years ago. You can
find them by searching "Stanford" on their website. They only have Sm/Med,
though so none for me =(

Trainers

2009-11-27T18:12:56Z

I'm looking to buy a good trainer and would appreciate any recommendations regarding brands/models you love (or hate).

Important features would be the quality of the "ride," quietness, and ease of set-up. Price in the $300-$400 range (new) would be ok. Thanks!

That's all :) Hope everyone has a great day, complete with a week's
worth of calorie intake.

no sprints Thursday

2009-11-25T21:11:48Z

There will not be a sprint workout tomorrow which is Thursday. It will resume the following week. There is a traditional ride that day up Mt. Hamilton. My plan is to drive to the start at Alum Rock and rt. 130 (Mt. Hamilton Rd.) and start riding at 9 am. There is a low-key hillclimb event starting at 9:30 am. I don't know the details of this event. If the weather is good, there can be hundreds of riders doing the climb and very few cars.

bars?

2009-11-25T20:50:49Z

anybody have a set of alloy bars that they're not using and want to
get rid of? I'd be happy to take them off your hands. Preferably
something in the 40-45 cm range. shoot me an email if you do...

Thanks!

New team equipment available for loan

2009-11-25T17:31:37Z

Hi team. The team has recently acquired a 56 cm road bike and a bunch of roof rack equipment that is available for use.

The road bike is a 56 cm steel frame "Burley" (that's the brand) with 9 speed Ultegra. No pedals. It was donated to the team under the stipulation that it be used for a new rider, not as someone's baller commuter bike. (Which is sad but sensible, as it would be a sweet freakin' commuter.) If anyone out there in the 5' 8" to 6' 0" height range wants to ride road bikes but does not have one, please get in touch with the team officers (particularly Wyles and I) to arrange a loan.

Hi Nick. There are a few ways to get to the PO from Palo Alto. Two
of the better ones are the California Ave and Homer Ave bike
underpasses. Cali Ave goes under Central Expwy and the CalTrain
tracks, while Homer just skips the tracks. The Cali Ave one is on
GMaps but Homer is not.

From there, work your way to the center-ish part of campus:

Shelley Olds - Silver at Melbourne

2009-11-24T23:11:49Z

Hey Team,

No one's posted it yet, so I figure I'd let everyone know that our own
Shelley Olds got the silver medal at the World Cup points race in Melbourne.
Woo hoo!

Hey Nick,
Unfortunately I won't be in the area to join you as I'll be away myself, but
I just wanted to make sure you know that you can't ride the Dish route at
all. It's for pedestrian traffic only and you will probably be ticketed if
you ride there.

That said, there are tons of great rides in the area and hopefully some team
