Mountain Bikes, lakes and a few of our favorite things . . .

Zippy the Pinhead is also one of my closest friends and we ride regularly up on the North Coast of California. The lake behind us is really called Lake Number One (the originality in that astounds me!) and was actually formed during the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake. We ride regularly directly on top of, across and on the San Andreas fault line which is awe inspiring. We both ride Santa Cruz Superlight Mountain bikes and are very happy with them. There is a huge variety of rides around here, single track, some very technical, some on fire roads and you name it, we probably have it somewhere close. We also are on the Timber Cove Volunteer Fire Proection District. He is the Chief, I am an EMT / Firefigher / Rescue guy. I love these guys and the job we do although I am not living here fulltime (it is a 1.5 hour commute each way to Santa Rosa). Riding the bikes is a way to stay in shape and have some damn good fun and comradeship.
