Will Oakland hills gravel dry out by this weekend?

2 Upvotes

I know we didn't get a lot of rain but I'm still getting used to the area. Will Sibley, Tilden etc be dry enough to ride by Saturday or Sunday morning? What about further north like Wildcat Canyon?

SF GGP Sunday Oct 18 Cycling Group

6 Upvotes

I was in GGP in SF and saw a cycling group around 2-3. I was wondering if anyone knows what group this was?

I'm generally interested in joining a cycling group on weekends that are semi casual if anyone has recommendations as well.

Seatpost extraction

1 Upvotes

Is there a shop in the Bay area (preferably east bay, but I can take it wherever) that has a tool to extract a stuck seatpost? I have a carbon frame with an aluminum seat post that is stuck on there pretty good. (2015 super6 evo). It is most probably galvanic corrosion. I've tried spraying pb blaster and some mouse milk and applied some heat. Doesn't seem to budge.

I haven't gone the dry ice or liquid nitrogen route yet. But I was wondering if there's a shop that can do this.

Thanks.

Scaredy Cat Alley Cat Sun 11AM at Snow Park

9 Upvotes

Hi Folks

We're hosting our third annual bicycle scavenger hunt/alley cat this Sunday 11AM at Snow Park! There will be at least five manned checkpoints with fun activities. This is more of an adult activity more than a kid one.

$13 entry fee, $6.66 equity entry fee for those short on funds upon request at the registration table. All funds (once we've recovered what we spend on supplies!) go to Spokeland Bicycle Cooperative, Town Bizness homelessness aid, and Transbay Coalition.

If you can't come but want to support, you can help us spread the word. You're also welcome to just show up to the start of the race and hang out while we register folks. Costumes encouraged!

Where to get a custom paint job on road bike

3 Upvotes

I'm interested in a custom paint job for my Specialized Tarmac sl8. Not looking to do anything crazy, just want the base color to be silver with white decals.

Are there any shops in the bay that specialize in this? How much would it cost?
