Another great upcoming family event is the Rock & Roll Geology Tour and Fun Ride on November 8th, benefiting the American River Conservancy. It’s a slow-paced mountain bike ride at Cronan Ranch, out to the River and back. Tom Judy, geologist – nationally recognized mountain bike competitor – outdoor instructor, is the same guide who has offered other local events to reinforce safety, improve skills, and better communicate between trail users. Tom and his wife Jill are wonderful ambassadors for our trails. Tom will be stopping along the way to explain geologic features unique to the Gold Country.

Posted November 7th, 2009 in Life on the Divide, Outdoor Recreation, The Divide Outdoors by Deb Peter Linda Rapposelli completes Kona Ironman World ChampionshipsDivide Triathlete “makes us proud”! After setting a course record for her age group at a qualifier for the Kona Ironman World Championships, Linda Rapposelli completed the 2.4 mile open water swim, 112 mile bike course, and 26.2 mile marathon in 14 hours, 26 minutes. Not only was it a grueling event with temperatures reaching 112 along the bike trail, but the path to get there challenged Linda’s tenacity. A severe whiplash caused by a car accident in March made it difficult to maintain her position on her bike, a recent theft left her without bike and gear a month before race day, and fears that resulted in panic attacks found her seeking support days before. Linda has now successfully completed 3 of the world’s most challenging endurance events: the Western States 100 Mile Run, the Tevis 100 Mile in One Day Ride, and the Kona Ironman World Championships. The event is scheduled to be broadcast on ESPN sometime in January 2010.
