Where in the world is... part 2

Brett Ritter ( a friend from Elkhorn High School) is having a little vacation up north in Santa Rosa. We did a few hills and explored some of the areas best roads.








San Francisco Grand Prix

Raced the SF GP Monday. This is one of my my favorite races since it is well put on by Velo Promo, well funded by Metromint, and in a nice downtown setting (Levi Square in San Francisco). Since my racing for BISSELL is pretty mucy over, it is "vacation" time so it was nice to just go and have fun again with the locals. Also, Bret Ritter is in town and stopped by the race before heading up to Santa Rosa to do some riding with me.

Here are my girls cheering me on.

I think somebody was trying to get a picture of the Saint Bernard. Darn guy got in the way!

Where in the world is......

Now that I am home for a while, I have decided to do some exploring. So let's play a little game. I'll take pictures from my rides and post them. You tell me where they are. I will give hints. Maybe I will give out prizes or something if somebody can identify a few days worh of pictures. Stay tuned!



Oh the Valley. So nice. And NO cars~!


I love this road!


This building explained why the entire town was shut down yesterday (Saturday) . I stopped in at the gas station to get fluids only to find the doors locked.


Pinarello + Napa county = :-)

Real or Fake

For those of you thinking about mammary at the moment, get your mind out of the gutter!

Anyway, was emailed this video and initially thought, "yep, that seems plausable." But after thinking about it for a day or so, I started thinking that there is no way an actual human would consider risking their life to pull off that kind of stunt. What do you think? Real or Fake?

Home sweet home

Did the Guysers Loop this morning. Very nice to be home on my own stomping grounds. Glad I traveled a lot this summer but I did miss it here.
Another view from the hills north of HBG.
Here is a picture from a wine bar in NYC. Nice place. Server was unfriendly. She will pay for that Yelp style >:-)
Best Belgian ever. They had more types of tastey Belgian brews then I had ever thought possible. Will be back.... every time!
I did several hours of work on my laptop in Bryant Park. It was just around the corner from the Mela Hotel. Lots of healthy restaurants around the park. Very nice!
