Thank You

Siclistas,

Thank you for all your prayers for my speedy recovery. I am home and by tomorrow will start my therapy. Again Maraming Salamat. I'm hopeful I will be back on the saddle again 4 months from now with my titanium modified pelvic.

Tailwind Forever,

Roger

Tunitas Creek Rest Stop - The Bike Hut

This is really nice of these folks to offer their hospitality for all bikers going through Tunitas Creek:


Dear All,

I wanted to let you all know of The Bike Hut which will be of value to Bay Area cyclists. My wife, Christine, and I recently bought a farm on Tunitas Creek Road in Half Moon Bay - http://potreronuevo farm.org/ - which we're transforming into a non-profit dedicated to the food justice movement. We'll grow organic vegetables and offer nutrition and cooking classes for local low-income families, provide environmental education programs for all ages and more.

But we also have a one-car-garage- sized building right on Tunitas Creek Road which is now named The Bike Hut. Since this road is so popular for bicyclists, we wanted to provide you a rest stop and homemade energy snacks and drinks. At the moment, there's just a small
picnic area for your use and we'll always have free water there for you. It will probably take us a few months, but we're working on recipes for organic/vegan energy snacks and drinks which we'll sell. For now, feel free to stop, picnic, get some water, etc, and keep an
eye out for more developments.

We're one mile inland from Hwy 1. You can't miss The Bike Hut - it's bright red - and a great place to take a pause before starting the ascent up Tunitas Creek Road to Skyline Blvd.

We'd appreciate your passing the word to others in the bicycle community. If you have any ideas on how we can get the word out, please let us know. Also, if any of you are planning any rides or events where we could be a pit stop, please contact us.

Thanks,
Bill and Christine

Our Appreciation

To All Our Guest,

It is nice to read all the good feed backs from you but I am not the only one who deserve the compliments for the success of our 1st Siclista Classic. Gentlemen like Romy, TonyC, Cesar, Ruel, Jack, JohnV, JohnM, JoMo, BobbyG, Vill, JohnnyBoy, JojoW, Mar and Ed deserves the same compliments and equal recognitions for a job well done. They are the people behind the scene who had worked hard too. My job was only to coordinate everything. Also last but not least all the Siclista members for their generous financial contribition that make this event possible.

Success is only measured by the number of riders from TROPA, LUZVIMIN, MAHARILIKA, ROADBIKE REVIEW, TRACY RIDERS, SJBC and individuals who came to support this event.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH from Siclista California. Also thank you, RoyG, MikeV, FrancoisA, Juan and Richard for your donations.


Tailwind Forever,

Rodge

1st Siclista Classic Ride Report

On Sunday, October 5th, Siclista hosted its 1st classic invitational. Approximately 85 riders from Luzvimin, Tropa, Maharlika and Road Bike Review registered for the ride. The course was 54 miles long and had an optional KOM challenge, a 3.6 mile category 1 climb with an elevation gain of 1817 feet. The KOM brought out quite a few challengers willing to give it a go.

KOM results:
Place Name Time (mm:ss)
1st Lloyd 22:28
2nd Rozel 28:11
3rd Benjo 28:48

An after ride “Siclista Fiesta” treated the riders and their family members to various Filipino dishes. During the fiesta there was a raffle with prize giveaways and the KOM awards ceremony for the top three finishers.

The ride was fun, competitive (KOM) and most of all it was safe. It looked like all enjoyed the event.

Chris Horner gives a fallen rider a 2km ride

Old story but still....... a nice read

What a guy. If you guys see Chris Horner smile, I bet you, you'd smile too. His smile is so contagious but this act right here makes him more likeable. We need more of this positive events to draw our attention away from these so called doping in cycling. Check it out ===> everydayathleteblog.com
