NorCal Event Calendar
 

I thought it might be helpful to both the regulars and the visitors if we had a thread (perhaps stickied ;)) that summarized all the upcoming events. We could list them with links to the specific thread, and just update the calendar as needed.

Apologies for getting behind in updating the thread...mommyhood is taking a bit of my time. ;)

JB, thanks, I added those in. If there are threads for new events already, we can post the links for them too.

Excellent idea Dudette!

Excellent idea. I keep wondering how people know all this stuff is coming up, where they're finding it. Consider the thread stuck.

Got to set a date for the Wheelsuckers Tandem Rally.
And maybe Ron can get that joint Nor-So-Cal ride.

Ok, a couple more (these aren't on my list to do this year, so I didn't see them when I checked my calendar):

America's Most Beautiful Bike Ride 6/1
Climb to Kaiser 6/28 (killer ride, supposed to be harder than the Death Ride)
Marin Century 8/2
Mt. Shasta Summit Century 8/3

And someone else will have to list the doubles!

JB

OK, one more
Best of the Bay (Cherry City Cyclists) 6/21

JB

More to add:

Cool Breeze Century in Ventura - 8/16/2008
Spooktacular Century in Bakersfield - 10/25/2008

Yeah, I know, it's kinda far, but for those that want to do it, there you have it.

Oops - I had a typo - the Lighthouse Century is the 27th of September, not the 17th. Sorry, Paula!

JB

Hey, hey Paula... I have more to add.

Gotta pimp my ride:
Sierra Century on June 12th

Canyon Classic Century June 14th

(this has the 88mi. "attack Hamilton from the East" option with 13k elevation :eek: )

Other forums I visit have an actual calendar available that one can click on and people can link threads to. It would be Really helpful here. How bout it moderators?

Some of us look here:

Sheldon Brown Memorial Ride
 

Howdy folks! Short notice, but I'm announcing a Sheldon Brown Memorial Ride on Monday July 14th (Bastille Day and Sheldon's Birthday: he would have been 64 years old this year). The meeting spot is in Fairfax CA in front of the Java Hut. I put up a Bikely route map for anyone who wants to print their own cue cards: http://www.bikely.com/maps/bike-path...l-Ride-3-30-08 . Plan to meet at 5:30pm and I expect the ride to last a couple of hours. Fast Groups are welcome to move along or go off route, but we are emphasizing the fact that all bikes are accepted, so we're riding at a pace that someone on a Bakfiets with 2 kids in it can keep up with. Bring your crazy helmet with crap strapped on, bring your kids in their trailers, bring your freak bike, whatever. Come celebrate the life of one of the true gentlemen/statesmen of cycling. Imbibing of fermented grain will commence post ride at the Iron Springs Zythepsary across from Java Hut: don't forget your bike lock! :thumb:
