    Anthony DiSalvo will be at the Alameda Main Library teaching this class.

    We usually have light sets to give away if you attend.  01/16/2024 6-7pm.

    Biking at night can be fun, but it is important to plan ahead and make sure you always have the right equipment to be visible every time you get on your bike. This class will help you:

    • See and be seen in all conditions
    • Meet and exceed the CA legal requirements for lights and reflectors
    • Choose the right lights for the type of bicycling you'll be doing
    • Bling out your bike and yourself with highly visible accessories!

    The 2023 Team Alameda “away weekend” of riding is only a week and a half away!  Just like last year, we are going to hit the roads around the Russian River and will have our “base” be downtown Occidental.  

    The dates are October 20th (Friday) to 22nd (Sunday).

    The Occidental Lodge, which is in downtown Occidental and close to several restaurants, set aside a block of 10 rooms for us. Please check out the lodge at https://www.occidentallodge.com/.  Call the lodge to make reservations and tell them that you’re with “Team Alameda”. Their phone number is (707) 874 3623.

    If you would rather stay somewhere else in the area, or you didn’t jump on the reservations in time and the Lodge is all booked up, here are other options in the area:

    • Inn at Occidental (really close by)
    • Inn at the Tides in Bodega Bay
    • Lots of other hotels and AirBNBs in Guerneville

    We will have options for riding, both distance and pace, and will do our best to make sure that everyone has places for refueling along the way.  We are organizing a SAG car for us.  We hope that you consider joining us for a fun weekend of riding.  Please let us know that you are intending to join in on the fun by joining our Discord thread at #away-ride-occidental-2323, or dropping me an email at president@teamalameda.org, so that we can be sure to include you in our dinner reservations and ensure that you are part of the crowd when we roll out for our rides.  If we have not heard from you by this Friday the 13th, we cannot guarantee that we will have a seat for you during our group dinner on Saturday.

    I saw Shimano recalled 680,000 cranks today. The recall lists any cranks manufactured prior to July 2019, including the FC-R8000. I have an FC-R8000 from 2021, manufacturing code “TA” (so after July 2019, since these codes progress alphabetically).

    This recall involves Shimano Ultegra FC-6800, Dura-Ace FC-9000, Ultegra FC-R8000, Dura-Ace FC-R9100 and FC-R9100P, 11-Speed Bonded Hollowtech Road Cranksets, manufactured prior to July 2019 sold individually and on bicycles sold by other manufacturers such as Trek and Specialized. The recalled models have printed ‘Ultegra’ or Dura Ace’ logos on the arm. The affected models are pre-July 2019 production and have the following two letter production code on backside of the crank arm where the pedals are attached: KF, KG, KH, KI, KJ, KK, KL, LA, LB, LC, LD, LE, LF, LG, LH, LI, LJ, LK, LL, MA, MB, MC, MD, ME, MF, MG, MH, MI, MJ, MK, ML, NA, NB, NC, ND, NE, NF, NG, NH, NI, NJ, NK, NL, OA, OB, OC, OD, OE, OF, OG, OH, OI, OJ, OK, OL, PA, PB, PC, PD, PE, PF, PG, PH, PI, PJ, PK, PL, QA, QB, QC, QD, QE, QF, QG, QH, QI, QJ, QK, QL, RA, RB, RC, RD, RE, and RF.

    United States Consumer Product SafetCommission recall statement

    The USCPSC site list says consumers with an affected crankset “should

    immediately stop using the cranksets manufactured before July 1, 2019,

    and contact an authorized Shimano dealer to schedule a free crankset

    inspection. 

    “Only consumers whose cranksets show signs of bonding separation or delamination during the inspection will be provided a free replacement crankset and installation.”

    Hey Everyone! I hope you saw the "Save the Date" information for our annual picnic (September 30th) in our Summer newsletter.

    There is another event to plan for as well: a Team Alameda away ride weekend in Occidental! That will be held October 20-22nd. We have 10 rooms reserved at special pricing at the Occidental Lodge so give them a call and let them know that you are with Team Alameda. Thanks.

    Hey all,

    Just a reminder that there is a section of our website, under Forums, where you can find lots of interesting information.  Just now, six very nice road and mountain bikes were posted out under the Bikes and Gear forum, and a free TA jersey is being offered under the General forum.  Check it out! :)

    You can also subscribe to the forums that interest you so that you are alerted when a new posting is made on the forum.

    Thanks.

    Mark Pryor sent a few of us this URL that lists road closures in our area.  Lots of hill roads that we ride often are on the list.  Be safe and here's to drier days ahead (but with thanks to our various reservoirs getting refilled!!!)
