We have a bunch of rides on Wednesdays that leave Passion, and each of these has its own theme. Last week we had a Fat Bottomed Girl Ride, a Drinking Ride, a Big Bike Ride, and the Frisky Ride. This week will be similar, but different. I will have at least as much trouble tonight as usual, getting my butt out the door on time, so I will lead a Straggler’s Ride at 6:45. Anyone else that has trouble making the earlier rides is welcome to join me. This ride will certainly leave after the other rides tonight, and may even leave on time, but call if you’re running late and I will procras… uh, make arrangements. Our route has yet to be determined, but I’ll get around to it.
The weekly rides are outlined in the weekly email, which you can subscribe to here… list
The weekly email from yesterday has been posted here: newsletter
And all the rides start here: Passion

Hey all you trail lovin’ people!
National Trails Day is the one day every year where communities across America celebrate their trails! This year we are planning a (work)PARTY at Waterdog Park in Belmont on Saturday, June 7th. Won’t you please join us???
Our goal is to provide some care and trimming of the amazing singletrack trails in this multi-use park. The plan is to leave the digging tools out of the equation and just work on brushing out the trails, which despite our dry spring are getting rapidly overgrown! We’d like to make sure people can see around the turns, can ride or walk without getting scratched on the bushes, and can find places to pass safely and cordially.
One of our kind neighborhood volunteers sprayed the poison oak earlier this spring, so most of our work will be PO free! The work will be easy, fun and rewarding, and appropriate for well-behaved and well-supervised kids.
We will work on trimming back sagebrush, coyote brush, scotch broom, blackberries, etc, then gathering up the trimmings and pushing them over the edge and tucking them under the bushes to compost. Depending on the size of the turnout we may ask volunteers to bring tools from the garden shed to supplement our supplies of rakes, loppers, hedge trimmers and shears.
Details:
Date: Saturday June 7th, 2008
Start time: 9:30am
End time: 12:30pm
Volunteers needed: at least 20
Hospitality: Coffee and bagels in the morning, free BBQ and beers (hopped and rooty styles) afterwards
Swag: two $50 gift certificates to Passion Trail Bikes will be raffled off to volunteers during the BBQ
Ride or Hike: After the BBQ volunteers will be able to enjoy a fun ride or hike on the trails in Waterdog Park.
More info: call Patty Ciesla at Passion Trail Bikes 650-620-9798 or email her at

Got our first set of Crank Brother Cobalt wheels in. Pretty cool looking.
I think we got 2 sets in the door, but one has been sold already. Come check out the remaining one while it is here.

Here is a ride report from Jay, who did a ride with Charles and some others this past Monday up in Pacifica.
(note – if you click on a picture, you will see a higher resolution version of that picture)
When you have no meetings, a boss out of town, some time off to burn, a new downhill bike, and a case of the Mondays, there’s only one thing to do – Go out to the coast and ride! The blooming spring colors, ocean views and quality of people couldn’t have been better today. Also, Tom and Charles had matching shoes, which somehow is less controversial than when Sterling and I show up in matching socks. Anyway…
| We started off with a nice climb with what used to be the old Highway 1: |  |
