June 28 - You're not doing the Grand Tour? Consider it for next year.

July 5 - Griffith Park Rides. Ride to and through the largest municipal park with urban wilderness area in the USA.

July 12 - Remote Palos Verdes Rides. Escape the heat. Ride from Marina Del Rey to Palos Verde. 3 different rides.

July 19 - Decker Descent-One of my favorites. A good way to move up to a #4 rated ride.

July 26 - Tour Of Two Topanga Tops-Two moderate climbs and not too long. A good way to try a #3 rated ride.

August 9 - Dining At Dukes From Camarillo-One of our signature remote rides. Ride a bit, eat breakfast on the beach, ride a bit more.

August 16 - Cool Breeze Century today. - Randy

NOT A BIKE IN SIGHT Once a year SFVBC cyclists go through a charade where we pretend there's something to life besides riding -- for an afternoon. It's called the Annual Picnic, and this year great food, company, music, and weather made for a memorable event. Clockwise from top left: hungry cyclists descend upon the food table; a vegetarian nightmare; the ever-ill-fated water balloon "toss"; Steve Bradasich with the Ugliest Jersey in the World; Laura Garfield, Joel Garfield, and Margee Schubert aka Sometimes in Tune (Photos: Bob Winning)
The Michael Dekel/Louis Garneau Official SFVBC jerseys are in, and all sizes except XXL are available.
Only $68 + shipping
