4.25.10 woodside - los altos ride

fun ride on the '72 torpado, it's a new build. started in woodside and did the usual out to palo alto but went into los altos this time and stopped for lunch at pompeii - it was decent but nothing to write home about. today was to test the new wheel build and tires - wheels pass, tires fail. front flat near the end of the ride but fortunately met Gary W. who rode with me for a while and also had a pump to give me enough air to get me back to the car. thank you, sir! Gary was riding his custom handmade Steelman bike - what a sweet machine. Someday...

PLEASE BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR JON'S STOLEN BIKE. HELP RECOVER IF POSSIBLE AND/OR NOTIFY JON ASAP. THANKS EVERYONE FOR YOUR HELP!

Dear Listers,

My beloved white Peugeot UO-18 mixte was stolen from outside of our apartment this evening between 6 and 10 PM. It was not locked--I left it outside "just for a minute" and then forgot to put it away and lock it up.

It is highly customized--Campi and Phil Wood, faded red Tailwind panniers, extra-long extensions on the toeclips, and much more.

$200 reward for the return of this bike, no questions asked. I especially appreciate the help and cooperation of Bay Area CR list members and friends in this less-than-likely task...
