March 19, 2024,Papa's got some brand new shoes!

After about 8,000 miles, Gaston, my graveler, has upgraded to new carbon rims, new rubber, new cassette & chain; and me, I feel 2 years younger, on a bike anyway.

Hillsborough is great for its super quiet streets and substantial hills--these 2 in this loop are just about Cat 4. And the descent from …

November 4, 2022,Hillsborough & Sawyer Trail

After half a forever, the Sawyer Trail is reworked, repaved (the northern section), and re-opened all the way through. It's so nice to have you back. An unencumbered ride even on a Friday afternoon. But avoid it on weekends when you're biking. Too busy.

December 1, 2023,Back up the Sawyer Trail

After nearly a year, the best local trail is back open. Nice and quiet this morning. They fixed 3 wash-out spots and had to fight the SF Water Company to get it done. Now, I need to go see if the Ralston path over 280 is reopened. Should be. Then ALL local paths would be back!
