There's an easy (well, maybe not so easy) way to decide who is the best climber among San Francisco Bay Area bicyclists — take the Mount Diablo Challenge.
More than 600 cyclists completed the 30th anniversary of the event on Sunday, some in all seriousness and others for the pure joy of climbing 3,249 feet in 11.2 miles.
The fastest cyclist to the top of the peak that dominates the Bay Area skyline in Danville was Nathaniel English …

Although the John Wayne Pioneer Trail is a rail-trail well-suited for bicycling, the trail head at South Cle Elum is certainly a draw for railroad enthusiasts.
The large rail yard built by the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad in the early 1900s is preserved there, and a few buildings remain intact. Pedaling into town on the rail-trail gave me a slow-motion idea of the scene witnessed by locomotive engineers.
Lately I've been bicycling different sections of the John Wayne Pioneer Trail east of the Snoqualmie Tunnel. While I don't have the opportunity for a nice through-trip …

A record 7,500 bicyclists rolled out for the Levi Leipheimer's King Ridge Gran Fondo on Saturday in a ride that unfortunately was marred by three serious injuries.
Police said that wet pavement may have been a factor in both crashes that occurred on winding roads on a particularly hilly section near the Pacific Coast in Sonoma County.
The Santa Rosa Press Democrat reports Kristin Rossi, 43, of Hillsborough was injured in a solo crash at 11:43 a.m. An hour later at about the same location …

Here's a photo of Kate Hudson and Goldie Hawn riding their bicycles one day in Santa Monica.
It's kind of comforting to know that such celebrities as the daughter and mother actresses enjoy heading out for a bicycle ride, even in apparently inclement weather.
Canada's Province website has a long list of celebrities (nearly 100) riding their bicycles accompanied by their photos. Richard Masoner over at the Cyclelicious blog runs a regular feature of “(Famous person) rides a bicycle.”
My only problem with looking at images of “stars” riding bicycles is that it's hard to tell who is really out for a bike ride, and who is out for a photo op.
I also suffer the added difficulty of not really recognizing some of the celebrities …

A long section of the 19-mile Green River Trail south of I-405 will remain closed to bicycling as flood protection remains in place for the time-being.
Workers installed the 3- to 4-foot high wall of sandbags along the levee-top trail in the fall of 2009. That's when the Army Corps of Engineers reported the Howard Hanson Dam upstream could no longer handle high water, and they'd have to flood the Green River Valley in the event of heavy rains.
Two weeks ago, however, the Corps announced that repairs have been made and they could operate the dam at full capacity this fall and winter.
It looks like the sandbags are going to remain in place for another rainy season ….
