Bike News -

News: As you may or may not know our friend and Kman rider Doug Conner crashed on the downhill on Naciamento-Ferguson road on Tuesday while riding with Steve Lachaine. He suffered a broken scapula and femur and was transferred to the San Jose area for immediate surgery. He appears to be doing well. All our warmest thoughts go out to him and his family for a quick and complete recovery.

Next Saturday's ride: Let's ride from Kman at 8am and head south on El Camino by Paloma Creek Park etc. and back to El Camino on to Santa Margarita, left on 58 and ride, ride, ride...riders have the options of turning off at 229 to go to Creston (40ish ride), O'Donovan to Creston (50ish), La Panza to Creston (60ish) or continue on to Shandon for Burritos and home (80ish). Bring fluids and food accordingly.
