August 2011 Changing Gears

The August 2011 DBC Newsletter

In this issue:

New Members - August 2011

DBC welcomes its new members!

DBC has an official cartographer

If you haven't stumbled across it already, there's now a Route Maps section on the DBC website.

It's time for the 2011 PBP!

Where will you be during the fourth week of August, Paris perhaps? Maybe not, for most of us, but for several of the DBC’s intrepid ultra-distance riders this is the year to journey to Paris. Every four years the famous PBP draws thousands of riders to the starting line just west of Paris for a 90 hour bike ride out to the Normandy city of Brest and return, hence PBP. The journey, an out-and-back route of 750 miles, or 1200Km, is labeled by the French as a randonnée.

Get ready - it's the midnight century

For a limited time only a rare opportunity is upon you...You, yes you can participate in the much anticipated Midnight Century, Saturday August 13th...Folks from all over the globe (well at least the bay area and foothills) are coming to ride the Midnight Century...Three different bike clubs and their friends are coming together to participate in a very fun filled ride with great food and new friends.

An account of what might be the most exciting race in recent 4th of July history.

NCNCA District Team Time Trial Championships – Mens 45+ Ken Hill (author), Mike Pugh, Scott Wienker, Chris Bowlus July 9, 2011 Livermore, CA

I knew the out leg was going to be fast, some downhill and a tail-cross wind, but I had no idea it was going to be this fast, or this crazy. 44…47...49…51 and finally, 53mph…on a TT bike . . .in a cross wind. Were my teammates still behind me? I dare not look back, as to not upset the precious little stability I had.

DBC sponsored a Power Station for the Livestrong Challenge

The Davis Bike club sponsored one of the rest stops (called Power Stations) for the July Livestrong Davis Challenge.
