Did you, or a friend, leave a wheel behind after your ride at Waterdog on Thankgiving? Well, Sterling found it and brought it here. Give us a call and provide a description and we will get it back to you.

This public land includes both the La Honda Creek section as well as the recently acquired Driscoll Ranch Addition, and covers NINE square miles of breathtaking terrain south of Sky Londa and Alices’ Restaurant at the intersection of Hwys 84 and 35. This is more than TWICE the size of El Corte de Madera Creek OSP (Skeggs).
Our espresso machine guru, Jim Sullivan, is an active member of ROMP’s board of directors and has been attending meetings regarding this plan for several years. He recently wrote us, asking mountain bikers to attend an upcoming meeting about the DRAFT MASTER PLAN:
“Please attend an upcoming open house public meeting for La Honda Creek open space preserve scheduled for Dec 4th, 4-7pm @ The Mountain Terrace. Located across Skyline blvd from Alice’s Resturaunt at 17285 Skyline blvd, 94062
Presently the “plan” has ZERO access for bicycles on this 5,759 acre preserve, with a very open ended “once a safe through trail connection is secured” statment suggesting bike access on the Ridge Trail alignment might someday be allowed. No acess within Driscoll Ranch, even though this has been an historically shared use area popular with the pedaling residents of La Honda.
Midpen is promoting this acreage as “the Gateway to the San Mateo Coastal area.” Looks like the gate’s closed as far as cyclists are concerned.”
Jim S.
We will certainly be attending, and encourage YOU to go too. We need cyclists to speak up about getting shut out of this important open space area. Here is MROSD’s website about the plan, and a link to some maps http://openspace.org/plans_projects/la_honda_creek.asp

Also, please sign this petition: http://www.petitiononline.com/lahonda/petition.html
And let anyone you know who lives near La Honda or on the San Mateo coast know about this issue.

Meet Joe Breeze – designer of the world’s first mountain bike & join us for our annual ROMP holiday festivities on Friday night, November 30th, for a fun & entertaining evening.
Many attendees bring their spouse, partner, cycling friends, dad, mom & children to this annual Mountain Bikers Party. Non ROMP members & folks new to cycling are highly encouraged to join us!
For the highlight of the evening: Joe Breeze, producer of Breezer transportation bikes, will give an illustrated presentation entitled, “What’s So Great About Bikes?”, spanning the history and future of what he calls “the most efficient tool of transport ever devised.” No doubt, Joe will include many first-hand accounts of being a nationally ranked Category 1 road racer, a pioneer of mountain biking (he built the first modern mountain bikes in 1977), and an advocate for everyday riding as tonic for great living. Joe was recently named among the top 25 most influential people in American bicycle history, and is featured in the recently released film “Klunkerz” about the birth of mountain biking. Click below for more details.

Trailwork season has begun!
Here at Passion Trail Bikes, we are just as passionate about trails as we are bikes. Collectively, Charles, Patty and Berry have been doing trailwork and advocacy for mountain biking for over 39 years! And we still love it.
Patty has put together a Google Calendar with the latest news from the trailwork gnomes. Check it out!
This weekend we will begin work on the trails in Waterdog Park in Belmont. On Saturday we will gather up a bunch of pruning equipment and tackle the vegetation on the Berry Trail and the John Brooks Trail, clearing backPosted by PeterD Fri, 02 Nov 2007 15:34:00 GMT
This month’s bike of the month is an Ibis Mojo, one of the new lines we are carrying.
I guess you could say that the owner of this bike is a connoisseur of bikes. He has a couple of other bikes (including the Maverick ML-8 we featured last year), and gets to choose the one that best suits the riding he is going to do. Below are some of his comments comparing the two bikes…
