We recently opened up an East Coast Bureau to keep an eye on things happening beyond our fair fields. Despite what most Californians think, there is more to this continent than Oregon, Hawaii, Brooklyn, and Puerta Vallarta. While we’ve got strong framebuilders in our area, it was nice to get a little outside perspective. Tim Richardson, co-owner of Shenandoah Bicycle Company and embedded journalist (think Brian Fantana, our “man in the field”), shot us some of his thoughts on the most recent North American Handmade Bike Show in Richmond, Virginia.

Bicycles for Humanity of Santa Rosa is now collecting used bikes their second shipment to healthcare workers in Namibia, Africa! On Friday March 19 (3pm to 6pm) and Saturday March 20 (3pm to 6pm). They will be accepting used bike donations at Ursuline High School. Students from Ursuline High and Cardinal Newman High will be volunteering along with local bike shops Norcal Bike Sport, Bike Peddler, Trek Store Santa Rosa, and Breakaway Bikes to help fill the shipping container. Give your old bike a new life! This project brings transportation to poor rural communities in Africa that lack transportation infrastructure. Many patients with AIDS and malaria go untreated because healthcare workers go on foot and cannot reach outlying areas. A bike changes that! The shipping container then gets turned into a bike workshop to maintain and repair the bikes for years to come. For more information go to www.bicycles-for-humanity.org/santarosa or email santa_rosa@bicycles-for-humanity.org
If you ever wanted a change to meet two of the biggest legends in mountain biking this is your chance.
On March 27th Trek Store Santa Rosa will be hosting a customer appreciation event with guests Keith Bontrager and Gary Fisher at the Trek Store followed by a ride in Annadel State Park starting at Howarth Park around 10:00am. For details check out the poster:
Issue #8
Here we go again, good people. Our eighth installment is our trails issue, dedicated to all things flowing and ribbon-like. While asphalt isn’t going anywhere anytime soon, trail access is coming and going all over the United States. Tiny strands of bare dirt edging through forests, deserts, and ridgetops are the most elusive and thrill-inducing venues for bike love. No component of cycling is more vital to our enjoyment or more fleeting from our grasp.
We’ve got a long way to go before we stand triumphant atop the mountain of policy woes, user conflicts, erosion, and diminished open spaces. Until then, we best maintain what we’ve got, build what we can, and value those days when we fly silent between the trees.
Look for us at your local bike shop, your favorite purveyor of inked words, or your mailbox. Need an invite? You’ve got one. Subscribe now and don’t miss a beat of what we’re laying down. Yes, I’m talking to you. You know who you are.
CXSR Finale 2010
Cyclocross Santa Rosa 2010 is coming to a close on Valentines Day weekend. February 13th, and at Doyle Park near downtown Santa Rosa to be exact. This year we switched up the format a bit, starting the A’s a little earlier than normal. That’s gone quite well, and now we’re coming to a close. To celebrate another fun season of friendly, muddy cross racing we’re offering up “Ladies Day”. That’s right. Women race for free at our next cross race. There’s nothing special do to except show up and convince us you’re a lady, then sign a waiver. We don’t ask for much.
