Just a guess, but he's probably looking for Old LaHonda and Pagemill. See, I'm psychic! (or is that psychotic?).

Ok, I also saw that the OP posted the same question on that *other* internet bike forum, but with a tad more info.

Move me to the extremely highly likely list and add MyLilPony.

I'm trying to get my steel bike going. It's up, except I am undecieded on pedals. I have toe clips and straps now. I'm considering having teh french threads re-tapped, and adding clipless, but I really am too cheap....

I think the first time I rode with the NorCal BF crew was during Henry's Skyline ride, where Ron took a spill. I don't quite remember if it really was, but I'm almost positive. Pete was out of action, pending a recovering sickness and he was SAGing with his beloved yellow taxicab with his wife and cookies. :D

You know, that was one of the first rides I was on too - but if memory serves that was Alain's turn to take a spill - a scary one, over a guard rail.

PS - and somehow this fits right in with the rest of the thread!

^^^ You're right! That was when my battery died and he gave me a jump start! Ron musta been the time after that.
