Stanford Cycling Newsgroup

Hello Stanford cyclists,

Tired of pacing around your apartment waiting to show off your shiny summer
race legs? Bored with riding commuters off your wheel on recovery rides
down Foothill? Lost interest in your friends' horrified expressions as you
eat entire sheet cakes and pot roasts to satisfy your cycling hunger? Well,

~3hrs, route TBD.

Come out and enjoy the fantastic weather!

I am going to go for a ride tomorrow morning, was thinking about 2 hours of zone 2 with some climbing.
I've got Page Mill in mind, but I could be convinced to go else where.

See you there!
rolling at 8:40

Ciao folks,

It's almost time for the 4th annual Nathaniel Craig honorary Giro di
Montebello! Details will follow as the date approaches, but be sure to keep
the morning/afternoon of June 2 open on your calendars. Quick synopsis: this
event is the mirror-universe version of mudball, and involves going

It's a beautiful Friday evening. Anyone interested in going for a ride,
let's meet at the PO at 6:45pm. The plan for now is to head up alpine and
back through the Los Trancos area but if anyone has any other ideas, we
could definitely do something different. See you then!

Hi All,
My friend Julie (copied on this email), is a ChemE grad student at
University of Texas, a runner, and now training for triathlons. She
is looking for a place to stay for the summer, while doing research at a
company in San Jose. If any of you have rooms you need to fill she's
moving out in two weeks and needs a room. I thought I'd ping the list and

Hey Everybody,
I have found myself in an interesting situation...
I am thinking about buying an SL4 this summer, and Menlo Velo has none in my size (54 or 56cm) so I was wondering if I could test ride one of yours?
BUT there is a twist. My rear shifter cable snapped literally seconds ago, and I would hate to miss the coffee ride tomorrow morning. So I was thinking in a perfect world I could get 2 birds with one stone by testing riding your bike on the coffee ride tomorrow morning. I could bike to your place and swap pedals and all that fun stuff tonight.

I'm finished with midterms, so I'm going on a MTB ride to Arastradero. It's Thursday at 1:35pm. I have a meeting until 2pm and then I'll go change and head out. Call me at 650-387-6374 if you want to come.

Hi --

Haven't used my Pinarello in over a year so it's time for it to go to
a new home. It's a carbon frame/fork, with dura-ace 7800 and Shimano
7850-c24 carbon wheel (tubeless).

Please reply to ricar...@ix.netcom.com if you are interested and I'll
send you more details. Current team member get a special price.

I'm planning on joining the Valley Ride this evening. Leaving the PO
around 5:40 to head down to Los Altos. Join me!

(If you don't know what the Valley Ride is, it's a large, fast,
race-like group ride similar to the Spectrum or Morning rides. Pack
riding skills are necessary and it is definitely not no-drop (but

Hi all,

know most of you don't know who I am - I've worked at the Law School for
the past 5 years, and have been on a couple Stanford rides when it fits my
schedule. I blew up my hub last week before I was supposed to lead a local
tri club group ride, and it'll be about a week before parts will arrive for

Hi team,

It's time to start thinking about team officer positions for next year. Below is a list of the many officer positions that must be filled to keep Stanford Cycling running like a well-lubed drivetrain. I have also included the names of the people currently in each position in case you want to contact them to find out more about what's involved. Just about every job is available since even if the incumbent officer wishes to continue in his or her position, since it's always good to have a new person being mentored to ensure smooth transitions between years. There are a few positions that have already been claimed. I've indicated those below.

Hey everyone,

I'm selling my GoPro Hero HD Helmet, there's a small scratch on the lens
but only affects the quality under direct sunlight. Sample video here

Does anyone have a set of

I've got my masterlink 1/2 on and it won't go in or out. (Sex joke, but
seriously...)

Yeah trees! Go and do this if you can. Meet some athletes who don't ride bikes while you're at it.

Hey team,

Club Sports is going tree planting on May 19!

We all love trees, they make riding so much more enjoyable and this is a
great way to give back. You will also get to meet people from other Club
Sports teams.

It appears that the duty of telling you all about the TTT has fallen on me. Better late than never! Hopefully the Kweezy-style photo links work....

This year's TTT was held on Antelope Island located in the Great Salt Lake. The island is a nature preserve with a variety of wildlife, including a seemingly infinite supply of bison (more on that later…). A north/south road runs down the east side of the island, and the TTT course was set up as an out and back on this road - 20 miles round trip.
