Riding from NYC to SF: Discovery detour
http://nysf2009.blogspot.com/2009/08/into-wind.html
Thursday, August 6. Gerry has planned a little detour for our ride to Discovery Bay. Where two friends of his live, Julio and Tracy: south to Stockton, then west to Discovery bay. Interestingly the wind blew from the south in the morning, calmed down around noon and then blew from the west. Our ride got us into an amazing area of homes developed in the so called ' Sacramento - San Joaquin river delta. Julio and Tracy live right on one of these canals. Her sister Amy is visiting as well with Stewart.

Riding from NYC to SF: Our last pass?
http://nysf2009.blogspot.com/2009/08/landscape-is-still-dry-and-flat-as-we.html
Friday, August 7. The landscape is still dry and flat as we need to go around the east side of the bay to reach the northern part where vineyards expands in Napa and Sonoma valleys. The pass of the day was 'John A. Nejedly' bridge, a little steep, windy and heavy traffic:. But we made it to the Valley and got to Napa as the sun was going down on the hills.

Riding from NYC to SF: Story telling
http://nysf2009.blogspot.com/2009/08/story-telling.html
Wednesday, August 5. Breakfast is one of the best moment of the day: pancakes, sausage, eggs and coffee taste great before a good ride. We share our stories with the waitress and some retired old men that hang here every morning. And our effort are rewarded by great hospitality at Donna and Dan's in South Sacramento! Great diner, great company and talks! Gerry loves to tell his stories, especially the hassle he had with Apple in Des Moines IA to tease Dan that has been working there since '92. This is (a...

Riding from NYC to SF: Three steps to help
http://nysf2009.blogspot.com/2009/05/go-theophile-go.html
Friday, May 29. Three steps to help. Théophile is my nephew. He's 9 year old. He's a cool little guy, fond of his many hippos. When he was 5, Théophile was intensively treated for leukemia and mostly recovered. End of April '09, we learnt that his leukemia was back and he started a second treatment. Of course every case is different and Théophile is well taken care of in France at 'Hopital Trousseau', a pediatric hospital in Paris. It so far involves chemotherapy and radiology. By enrolling to your natio...

Riding from NYC to SF: Why go west?
http://nysf2009.blogspot.com/2009/05/ill-go-west.html
Thursday, May 28. I'm not used to living on the East side. I mean on the East side of a continent. In Long Island, I often get confused between East and West. It doesn't match my instinct that you should go East to find the ocean. Three months of spare time and a bicycle should be enough to go West and find the Pacific ocean. Let's say, from New York to San Francisco; along the great lakes, thru the hills, plains and montains of this country with the size of a continent. Ride for bone marrow donation.

Thursday, May 28. Riding for bone marrow donation. The world has changed but our ambitions remain the same: live a better life. The frontier we are after today involves better living together. Did you know for instance that somewhere in Europe or in the rest of the world, someone can be about to save the life of a little American? In 2005 when my nephew Théophile went thru his first leukemia. Three steps to help. Report about bone marrow transplantation. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). 3 gilrs on the...
