The old I-90 floating bridge before expansion had a curb on it for bikes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3996512539454415045.post-29923133245654454062010-06-02T09:01:05.630-07:002010-06-02T09:01:05.630-07:00Hey Matt,

Like you were last year, I am interested in starting to try my hand at some races and would be very interested in getting some advice from you since I am not part of a team. Please let me know if you would be willing to share some of your experiences.<br /><br />best,<br />jason (jason.schoen@gmail.com)UncleJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00074742674617971142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3996512539454415045.post-68476928349047364292009-07-09T10:08:35.426-07:002009-07-09T10:08:35.426-07:00Fantastic blog!

I hope you don't hear anyone yelling during the race, "watch out for the guy in the Union Bank jersey". :)Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16438118972890981333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3996512539454415045.post-16705830545862513692009-05-06T21:34:00.000-07:002009-05-06T21:34:00.000-07:00Hi Matt.

At the time I had to laugh remembering what it was like to ride it in the "old days" before the bike lane was separated from the auto traffic. Found a photo to show you - a narrow elevated sidewalk, about 6 inches tall as I recall. And yes, I did fall off it once into the traffic lane - very scary! http://www.wired.com/images/article/full/2008/08/longest_floating_bridge_500px.jpgtripieperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04286347034554466635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3996512539454415045.post-33413623702531111092009-05-02T11:54:00.000-07:002009-05-02T11:54:00.000-07:00Great story - fun to read.

The racing will do your randonneuring a world of good. Seriously. And it is a ball. <br /><br />Now, if I were only fast enough to hang on the back of the local Tour de Office Park!<br /><br />Enjoy!<br /><br />WillWMdeRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15531125254328045995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3996512539454415045.post-71037725683725716922009-05-01T07:28:00.000-07:002009-05-01T07:28:00.000-07:00I'm thinking about buying a Bike Friday and joinin...I'm thinking about buying a Bike Friday and joining!
