Rhapsodies Who’s Working for Whom? I recently called the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors and asked why they hadn’t created Measure A specifically for repaving our awful roads, and was told because it would take a two-thirds majority to pass. When I brought up the notion that the public does not trust them with our money, it was as if I were speaking Greek. Sonoma

County needs supervisors who are in tune with the public, and from what we have seen of Supervisor David Rabbitt, he is definitely not.

Novato and Petaluma. I wrote to Rabbitt about this months ago and never heard back. Are these supervisors really working for us? I think not!

How about a new measure that will only go toward fixing our terrible roads? Anyone not using 101 on a daily basis should get down on his knees and give thanks for not being part of the parking lot. Instead of simply adding one lane in each direction, the “powers that be” are going to see to it that they ruin the once wonderful stretch of land between

Dignity for All Proud to be gay, and proud to be American BY CHUCK RAMSEY

G

etting married really wasn’t on my list, and I didn’t think it needed to be a priority in the LGBT civil rights movement. Neither was the idea of serving my country in wars that didn’t seem to make sense and that just wasted more young lives, especially in a country that didn’t recognize my rights as a full citizen. There were more pressing priorities that need addressing, such as employment, housing and public-accommodation non-discrimination laws. But after witnessing the extreme backlash to serving openly in the military (unit cohesiveness, sharing bunks, foxholes), the extreme backlash to marriage equality (much of it based on religion, which should have nothing to do with civil marriages or our laws), and after learning about a young LGBT man committing suicide in Sonoma recently, I have seen how monumental achieving marriage equality nationwide really is. It means America is now on the right side of history. The American dream of equality for all is one step closer to reality. America has grown up, and we’re catching up with our neighbors. Our country is now more united. We are taking down Confederate ags, we are moving forward toward understanding and compassion, rather than retreating into ignorance and hate. On a personal level, it means my marriage will now be recognized everywhere in the country. Getting married at San Francisco City Hall in 2008 was of course a moment I will never forget. I’m so proud of where we live and what we stand for, and so proud, ďŹ nally, that we have brought these values to the rest of the country, our country, my country. I know other countries do things better, and some do things much worse. We aren’t perfect, but we are getting better. But today, I’m proud to be an American. Proud that the actions taken recently will heal many wounds and will improve the lives of many in our LGBT community, including our youth. In the Supreme Court’s ruling on marriage equality, Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote, “They ask for equal dignity in the eyes of the law. The Constitution grants them that.â€? That’s all we wanted.

Paper LIFE IN THE BIKE LANE Plans for a Santa Rosa-to-Sonoma trail are further along that one for Sebastopol to Petaluma.

On the Right Trail Sonoma County bike boosters look to provide safe routes for cyclists BY TOM GOGOLA

T

he Sonoma County Bicycle Coalition (SCBC) has put the pedal to the metal on a pile of bike-friendly projects around the county.

Check out the Santa Rosa–based nonprofit’s website (bikesonoma. org), and it’s obvious that trail advocacy is high on the priority list. The organization has seen through multiple projects to ease

the way for cyclists. The coalition successfully pushed to prioritize bike safety at Highway 116 and Occidental Road. Now there’s a new bike path being built there. How do they do it? “We’re successful because we look for a way that landowners get something and the people of Sonoma County get something out of it rather than pounding your fist on the table and screaming about bicycle rights,” says SCBC

executive director Gary Helfrich. “That doesn’t work.” There are now two big trail projects afoot kickstarted with grant money for feasibility studies. One study is well along the way to completion; the other’s just getting going.

Santa Rosa– Sonoma Trail Local officials expressed audible delight when a $190,000 feasibility

study was unveiled in 2013 to suss out the long-held dream of a Santa Rosa–to-Sonoma trail. The study is funded through a grant the California Department of Transportation awarded to Sonoma County Regional Parks. Questa Engineering is the go-to consultant doing the study. Proponents see Valley of the Moon pedal power as a great way to foment wine tourism, since the proposed trail atop an aqueduct backs up to several wineries along the way. As such, the coalition has seen “excellent results with landowners down in the valley,” says Helfrich. “This is seen as a tourism amenity, as economic development.” Helfrich identified a couple tricky stops along the way to a green-lit construction of the 13-mile path, which would be undertaken by the county. The main thrust of the project would utilize a Sonoma County Water Agency easement parallel to Highway 12—and the imperative is to do whatever it takes to keep people off of that decidedly bikenasty road. That’s easier said than done. Trail advocates are now deep in the weeds of one-on-one negotiations with homeowners whose property intersects with the proposed trail, and with sorting out access to utility easements along the way. “An awful lot of work goes on that nobody gets to see because it involves negotiations with property owners,” Helfrich says. One issue in need of resolution is how to structure the trail at the point it passes through Kenwood, where Highway 12 essentially becomes Main Street, and where “there’s a zillion driveways and lots of traffic,” says Helfrich. The anticipated solution is to send cyclists through lesser-used neighborhood roads. “[Sonoma] Regional Parks recognized that the trail has to go through the backroads of the town,” says Helfrich. Kenwood’s local merchants support the trail, he adds. “They like the idea that it’s kind ) 10

of a halfway point where you can wander through and buy lunch.” The ultimate price tag of the trail is still to be determined, says project manager Ken Tam of Regional Parks. That will be a part of the final report from Questa expected later this year.

The bike coalition helped score funds for another feasibility study in April, also administered by Caltrans. The organization was one of several groups and municipalities that kicked in matching funds to a $209,000 Caltrans grant, bringing it to $248,000. The goal: a safe ride from Sebastopol to Petaluma. There’s only one problem: Where’s the trail going to be? The study area includes a onemile stretch from Sebastopol city limits to Regional Parks’ Joe Rodota Trail and one mile into Petaluma city limits to connect with its existing bicycle network. But whereas the Sonoma-to– Santa Rosa project features an identifiable trail, the SebastopolPetaluma route is unclear, at best. “Look at the study area and it’s a huge blob instead of just a line,” says Helfrich. “There’s no obvious route.” There was a railroad that rolled through here, he says, but it comes with a chain of title that needs to be unraveled. And part of that railroad line is already buried under Highway 116. Sonoma Regional Parks notes that much of the railroad right-of-way is privately owned and developed for other purposes. “There’s a lot of misinformation out there,” says Tam. “People automatically assume where the trail alignment is going to be. We have a starting point, Sebastopol. And we have an end point, Petaluma. But how we get from here to there, that’s what the study is going to do for us.” The feasibility study is in its infancy, Tam says, and no

consultant has been selected yet. “We will get the grant but we won’t get it until the state budget is approved,” Tam says. Once that happens, the job can go out for bid. The Petaluma end of the project should see an uncomplicated negotiation with a small group of landowners, Helfrich notes. But at the Sebastopol end, “there are hundreds of people with property, and it just takes one” to put the brakes on the plan. Some of the feasibility funds will be used to conduct what Helfrich says will be the “biggest title search ever.” It could get complicated. “A lot of people probably assume that they own that little strip of land behind their fence,” says Helfrich. Sometimes they do, and sometimes they don’t.” “I love the idea,” says Sebastopol resident and avid recreational cyclist Peg Roth. “Although I understand that there may be hurdles, I’m all for applying time, money and energy to promoting cycling by expanding our trail system. I feel we’d really benefit from a cultural shift which prioritizes cycling beyond recreation.” Roth relates some of the cycling wisdom she’s learned in trips to Holland. Sonoma County could take a lesson from the super-bikefriendly Dutch. “I am amazed at how cycling is a part of their daily life,” says Roth. “It’s seamless—grocery shopping, picking up children, going to a wedding are done on bicycles. My friends cycle to work, to the movies, to the bar, and they have their own lanes and traffic signals for this. “It’s fairly simple,” adds Roth. “We’ll never move in the right direction here if we don’t dedicate time and money to promoting safe access for bicycles.” Peg Roth’s brother, Eric Roth, also lives in Sebastopol and falls on the serious end of the bikeculture spectrum. He’s a member of the Santa Rosa Cycling Club and says he’s ridden 7,000–8,000 miles a year each of the past two years, including five doublecenturies in 2014. Eric notes that the SonomaPetaluma effort is “not very important to serious recreational

cyclists,” given the poor quality of Sonoma County roads and the chronic lack of sufficient funds to fix them. Bike-friendly trails open to all are nice, but road maintenance “is much more important,” Eric says. “We like to bike where there’s less traffic, but these roads are in such poor condition on average that it’s pathetic.”

‘I feel we’d really benefit from a cultural shift which prioritizes cycling beyond recreation.’ — Peg Roth

The Sonoma County Bicycle Coalition has also supported projects that push for improved roadways in Sonoma County. But county voters took a pass on Measure A earlier this year, which would have put a tax on residents to fix Sonoma’s crumbling road infrastructure. Improved roadways are not, however, in Tam’s bailiwick. He’s a parks guy, and these trails are for everyone: pedestrians, cyclists, whomever. These projects “are geared more for people who don’t want to use the public roadways,” Tam says, while stressing that he’s not discouraging road cyclists from doing their thing. “Some families don’t feel comfortable riding along the shoulder. This is an alternative to using the road, and our focus is on getting them off the road.”

Dear Friend, I wanted to let everyone know what happened while I was in college. It was a moment that changed my life forever. But before I tell you about my experience, I wanted to tell you my story from the start. Let me start by explaining the photo in this letter, I’m the guy in the middle, Dr. Taatjes. You know when I meet people in town and they usually say, “Oh yeah, I know you, you’re Dr. Taatjes. You’ve been in Petaluma for years…” Well, that’s me. Twenty-six years ago something happened to me that changed my life forever. Let me tell you my story. I was studying pre-Med in college, in hopes of becoming a medical doctor. Things were looking up, and life was good, until things took a turn for the worse. I began to have terrible back and stomach problems. For a young guy, I felt pretty rotten. My back hurt so badly that I had a hard time even concentrating in class. I was miserable. The medical doctors tried different drugs, but they only made me feel like I was in a “cloud.” I was just not getting better. A friend of mine convinced me to give a chiropractor a try. The chiropractor did an my spine. The adjustment didn’t hurt, it actually felt good. I got relief, and I soon was off all medication. It worked so well that I decided, then and there, to become a chiropractor myself. Now for my kids, Hayden and Henry. They have been under chiropractic care their entire lives. And, unlike most other kids in their class, they never get the “common” childhood illnesses like ear infections, asthma and allergies. In fact, they have never taken a drug in their lives. And they are now 19 and 21! It’s strange how life is, because now people come to see me with their back problems and stomach problems. They come to me with their headaches, migraines, chronic pain, neck pain, shoulder/arm pain, whiplash from car accidents, asthma, allergies, numbness in limbs, athletic injuries, just to name a few. If drugs make people well, then those who take the most should be the healthiest, but that simply isn’t the case. With chiropractic we don’t add anything to the body or take anything from it. We

and remove it thus enhancing the healing capacities of the body. We get tremendous results…it really is as simple as that. Here’s what some of my patients had to say: “I have had a problem with migraines as well as low back pain. Even after seeing doctors and other health professionals, the pains remained. After coming to Dr. Joel, they have helped tremendously. They even take away my migraines. They’re great!” (Judy E.) “I came in pending laser surgery for two herniated discs. Over a few months here the need for surgery subsided, and the pain has subsided to a mild discomfort with occasional morning stiffness. Over all, I feel better visit after visit. It’s a gradual process.” (Jaime O.) Several times a day patients thank me for helping them with their health problems. But I can’t really take the credit. Find out for yourself and benefit from an AMAZING OFFER. Look, it shouldn’t cost you an arm and a leg to correct your health. You are going to write a check to someone for your health care expenses, you may as well write one for a lesser amount for chiropractic. When you bring in this article by July 29, 2015, you will receive my entire new patient exam for $27. That’s with

I’m a graduate of Northwestern College of Chiropractic who regularly goes to monthly educational chiropractic seminars. I’ve been entrusted to take care of tiny babies to neighbors that you may know. I just have that low exam fee to help more people who need care. My associates, Dr. Lee, Dr. Trnka and I are ready to see if we can help you. Our office is both friendly and warm and we try our best to make you feel at home. We have a wonderful service, at an exceptional fee. Our office is called REDWOOD CHIROPRACTIC. Our office is located at 937 Lakeville Street, Petaluma, phone number is 763-8910. We would love to help you. Call Alex, Mari, Megan or Wendy today for an appointment. We can help you.

A WAY WITH CURDS Bohemian Creamery now sells cheese and dairy treats like frozen goat yogurt to the public.

Cheese to Please Sebastopol’s Bohemian Creamery opens retail shop —tell the Obamas! BY STETT HOLBROOK

T

he North Bay has an embarrassment of riches when it comes to local cheese. All that cow, goat, sheep and even water buffalo milk is great for cheese lovers, but it can be hard for cheese makers to stand out in an increasingly crowded field. Lisa Gottreich, owner of Bohemian Creamery, doesn’t have

that problem. Not only does her business have a cool name (ahem), she makes some of the most distinctive cheese in the North Bay. And now its available right where it’s made. Bohemian Creamery cheeses are served at top-drawer restaurants like the French Laundry, Chez Panisse and Dry Creek Kitchen. The Obamas seek them out when they dine at Cotogna. That means you have to spend some serious money to try them. Gottreich had long wanted a retail outlet,

but farmers markets took too much time and made her too little money, and grocery stores marked up her cheeses too much. So four weeks ago she opened her own shop. And what a shop it is. The little market was once Gottreich’s office, but it’s been dolled up with bright paint, a cool bench atop two milk pails, framed photos of goats and a beautiful display case of her many splendid cheeses. Directly behind the market is the creamery where Gottreich turns milk into cheese,

and behind that is a stunning, hilltop view of the Laguna de Santa Rosa and Mount St. Helena. Below is the pasture where Gottreich raises her hundred or so Alpine goats. It doesn’t get more farm-to-market than that. She plans to offer patio seating where you can nibble on cheese and take in the view. Gottreich, who lived for years in Italy and was raised by European parents, calls her cheese shop a “latteria,” or dairy bar, because it will offer more than cheese. “I want to introduce people to other things that can be made with milk,” Gottreich says. How about soft serve goat milk frozen yogurt? On my visit she had a refreshing, delicious and not too sweet, ginger-agave flavor. She’s also perfecting a recipe for whey sodas, a lightly carbonated and flavored beverage made from what’s left over when the solids (curds) are separated from the milk. Soon there will be espresso drinks made with fresh, mascarpone-like ricotta and cow’s milk cheese filled with cajete (goat milk caramel) called Cowabunga. Most artisanal cheese makers in the North Bay specialize in cheese from one kind of milk. Gottreich makes cheese from every kind available—cow, goat, sheep and buffalo. In addition to Cowabunga, the creamery’s non-traditional cheeses include a semi-soft, water buffalo cheese, called PocoLoco, infused with bits of Italian Lavazza coffee. It’s crazy good. There’s an intriguing organic cow’s milk cheese made with local dulse seaweed called Surf and Turf. Gottreich also makes several traditional cheess. One of my favorites is the Caproncino, a semi-hard goat cheese aged up to eight months. The cheeses are great, but traveling to the shop with its views of goats, mountains and verdant plains makes it really special. Get there before Sunset magazine writes it up and the crowds come. Bohemian Creamery, 7380 Occidental Road, Sebastopol. Open Friday– Sunday, 10am–6pm.

SMALL BITES

Coffee on Wheels Coffee and cigarettes. Coffee and doughnuts. Coffee and bikes? That’s the deal at Santa Rosa’s new *RKTO Coffee, located inside the Trek Bicycle Store on Mendocino Avenue. Bikes are better for you than smoking and eating fried dough, and pairing bicycles with coffee is as much about community building as it is selling lattes, says Bret Gave (pictured), owner of the bike shop and cafe. “Cycling is about community and coffee is about community,” says Gave, who hopes one community will feed off the other. The cafe has been in the works for more than a year. Because *RKTO is a hybrid coffee cart and cafe (the bar is on wheels) obtaining the permit was a little complicated. The five-week old cafe has a cool, industrialminimal look. The smell of roasted coffee mingles not unpleasantly with the aroma of knobby tires. The organic coffee comes from Santa Rosa’s Bella Rosa. In addition to caffeinated beverages (including nitrous-gassed, coldbrewed iced coffee), there’s Revive kombucha on tap. Pastries come from Santa Rosa’s new Red Bird Bakery. Phase two of the cafe will feature beer on tap, sandwiches and outdoor seating. When it’s all done, you’ll be able to start a bike ride with a cup of espresso and come back for a cold brew. What’s up with the name? *RKTO is the proto Indo-European base word for “bear,” as in Bear Republic. Linguists use an asterisk to mark a hypothetical reconstruction. At least that’s what I read. It’s a good subject for discussion over a cup of coffee.—Stett Holbrook

Oregon Calling Willamette Valley wineries come south BY JAMES KNIGHT

T

o celebrate 20 years of crazy, Siduri Wines is hosting an all-Oregon winetasting at its Santa Rosa winery on July 8. The crazy is making Oregon Pinot Noir in California, an affliction the folks at Siduri share with Lompoc’s Fiddlehead Cellars and Kathyrn Hall’s WALT Wines. Joining them will be some of Oregon’s best, including Argyle, Soter, Eyrie and Ponzi. For serious Pinot Noir fans with a limited travel budget, this isn’t just another “unique winetasting experience.” This is Christmas in July.

But why Oregon, when we’re lousy already with the Pinot down here? Siduri winemaker Adam Lee just stumbled into it when the general manager at Lambert Bridge (where Lee custom-crushed his first wines) offered some Pinot Noir he was growing in Oregon. Since then, Lee has logged countless miles making the 700-mile commute to the Willamette Valley—10 to 12 trips each vintage. Lee says that making Oregon Pinot Noir has paid off in more than case sales. For example, the notoriously cool, rainy 2011 vintage in California was fairly Oregonian in its rough outlines. But lessons learned in the Willamette Valley helped Siduri ace the vintage. And as some California vintners move toward cooler growing areas to make lower alcohol, higher acid wines, our neighbors to the north have been doing this for more than 40 years. “Maybe there’s something of a preview, or a hint, of what some of our wines will be like in tasting Oregon Pinots,” Lee says. Siduri’s 2013 Willamette Valley Pinot Noir ($22) shows up a little spicy, or volatile, on the nose—due to a valley-wide fruit-fly problem in 2013—but it’s dry plum-cranberry paste, not jammy, all the way down the fine finish. Also a Jackson Family Wines property (Siduri was snapped up this year), Gran Moraine made a 2013 Yamhill-Carlton Pinot Noir ($45) that I pegged as Willamette blind against five California Pinots (two Anderson Valley, so hooray for me there) because of the wine’s sinewy smokiness— bacon on a fire-pit grill. Nothing necessarily Oregon about that, it’s just that at an Oregon Pinot tasting in 2012, so much of the product shared a similar scent that I asked if they were using the same brand of barrel, or what was the story. An essence of grilled cranberry, the silky fruit grips lightly to the palate and fades slowly, like the ring of a bell—your Oregon “aha” moment. Siduri Wines, 981 E. Airway Court, Santa Rosa. Oregon event: Wednesday, July 8, 2015, 5–7pm. Tickets $25 advance, $30 after July 5 and at the door. 707.578.3882.

GARAGE DAYS

Custom frame builder John Fitzgerald relocated Fitz Cyclez from San Francisco to Santa Rosa one year ago.

Let the C Good Times Roll

ycling is a great way to stay physically active. Biking is a carbon-free means of commuting and getting out of soul-sucking traffic. Slowing down and riding a bike lets you see things you would otherwise miss locked inside a speeding car. But the best reason to ride a bike is that it’s fun. And we need more fun.

Enjoying the North Bay’s two-wheeled wonderland

The North Bay’s scenic coastal and vineyard roads and rocky trails through redwood and oak forests make the area a cycling mecca. As summer shifts into high gear, we celebrate two-wheeled pleasures with our first annual cycling issue and survey of the North’s Bay’s cycling scene. Also, on page 14, see where to get an espresso and bike tune-up, and find our story about the new Marin Museum of Bicycling and Mountain Bike Hall of Fame in Fairfax on page 21. Have a look, and then go for a ride.—Stett Holbrook

Jensie Gran Fondo of Marin Jens Voigt may have retired from pro cycling, but he’s still riding hard on the heels behind Levi Leipheimer. This year, the German cyclist lends his nickname to the inaugural Jensie Gran Fondo of Marin on Oct. 10 (thejensiegranfondo.com), trailing Sonoma County’s popular Levi’s Gran Fondo by just one week.

The garage is fertile ground for creative minds, be they musicians, engineers or artists. John Fitzgerald’s garage is no exception. In the back of his St. Rose neighborhood home in Santa Rosa, amid the washer and dryer and tidy storage boxes, Fitzgerald builds beautiful steel bicycle frames for a devoted clientele under the Fitz Cyclez (fitzcyclez.com) brand. The dirt trails and winding roads of the North Bay have long been a draw for cyclists and frame builders. The list of North Bay bike builders is long and storied: Joe Breeze (Breezer), Scot Nicol (Ibis), Ross Shafer (Salsa), Josh Ray (Soulcraft). Great riding attracts great frame builders. But it was affordable housing, not cycling, that drew Fitzgerald and his family to relocate to Santa Rosa from San Francisco one year ago. The cycling scene was a bonus. “The roads here are perfect for it,” says Fitzgerald, who has been building bikes for 10 years. Fitzgerald, 43, a lanky man with glasses and a long goatee, began working on bikes during his time with AmeriCorps in Austin, Texas, as part of the Yellow Bike Project, a nonprofit bicycle-advocacy group. He went on to apprentice in frame building for Rock Lobster in Santa Cruz and Banjo Cycles in Madison, Wis., before setting out on his own almost four years ago. Fitzgerald specializes in road and randonneur bikes. Randonneur bikes are built for all-weather, day-and-night, long distance rides. As such, the bikes have fenders, light systems and smalls racks for holding food and gear during self-supported rides. “It’s a niche market that the big guys aren’t tapping into,” Fitzgerald says. Randonneuring began in France as an alternative to competitive cycling. Randonneuring is not about racing, but getting from A to B and enjoying the ride and the company of fellow cyclists along the way. In events called brevets, riders must complete a course

with stops at checkpoints along the way in set times, no earlier and no later. While carbon fiber and full suspension bikes are all the rage, steel is Fitzgerald’s material of choice. It’s the material he knows best, and it appeals to his oldschool aesthetic. He’s drawn to the lines and details of Frenchmade bikes from the 1950s and ’60s, and he works in some of the style and design elements from that era into his frames. “I’ve always had an affinity for older things,” he says. He built himself a sharplooking, single-speed mountain bike with a retro rigid fork, and delights in keeping up with riders on bikes tricked out with full suspension and other modern components. Fitzgerald’s wife, Sandra, is a psychology professor at San Francisco State University. He’s a stay-at-home dad who builds bikes in between school drop-offs, pick-ups and baseball practice. For his sons Mateo, seven, and Eisen, 10, he built a “side-hack,” basically a bike with a sidecar. He gets plenty of smiles when the three of them roll around town. Custom bikes can cost as much or less than a store-bought bike. If you’re particularly tall or short, having a bike built to your measurements makes for a much more comfortable ride. And if you want something you don’t see on the market, like a rando bike, a custom build can be the way to go. His frame and fork sets start at $1,275. “You want something funky that’s within reason,” says Fitzgerald. “I’ll build it.”—Stett Holbrook

MILES OF TRAILS Mountain biking began in Marin County, and the sport

thrives on the North Bay’s network of trails.

“It’s going to be a great event,” says Jim Elias, executive director of the Marin County Bicycle Coalition (MCBC). “It brings in one of the most iconic cycling personalities of our era.” Voigt, a resident of Germany who announced his retirement in 2014, loves to ride in Marin, according to Elias. “He’s also quite a personality and a lot of fun,” Elias adds. Voigt will ride the entire route with participants, and not just at the head of the pack. “He’s not here to race; he’s here to be an ambassador, to share his wisdom and experience with all the riders,” says Scott Penzarella, a cofounder of the event and owner of Studio Velo in Mill Valley. A portion of the funds raised by entry fees will benefit the MCBC for its bicycle education and advocacy programs, such as Safe Routes to Schools. Part of the appeal for cycling

fans is the opportunity to ride with the famously gregarious Voigt, who’s been called “the most fun guy in pro cycling.” Also known for his “attack” style of riding, Voigt placed second after Leipheimer in the 2007 Amgen Tour of California and triumphed in several stages of the Tour de France. Retiring in his “young 40s,” he stuck with it longer than most, says Elias. Entry fees for the Jensie Gran Fondo, priced from $95 to $749, correspond to routes of increasing length, elevation, service and swag. The 100-mile “Shut Up Legs” route ($195) gets its name from a signature Jensism, and takes riders up to Alpine Dam and around Mount Tamalpais. The first such event for Marin County, the Jensie Gran Fondo kicks off at Stafford Lake Park in Novato and threads through the hills of West Marin. It’s not a race and it’s not only for ) 19

RECYCLED CYCLES Sonoma County’s used bike stores mean you can get up and ride for a lot less than buying a new bike.

hardcore competitors, although riders who finish before 5pm will be timed by electronic chip. “Some people ride ambitiously,” Elias says, “but for most people, it’s a big cycling celebration.” While CHP will offer support at major intersections, the mainly rural ride will not close down roads, and participants are encouraged to ride single file. All routes lead to a gourmet service stop in Point Reyes Station with local food purveyors, and end at Stafford Lake Park for a festival with music and, of course, a local microbrew to shut up that thirst.—James Knight

Used Bikes, Fresh Fun Bikes are expensive. Some can cost as much as a used car. But

it doesn’t have to be that way. Everyone can own a bicycle. Used bike shops sell bicycles than can range from 50 days old to five decades old and cost a couple hundred dollars instead of a few thousand. The shops also offer repair services to restore old bikes, and some will teach you how to fix them yourself. Santa Rosa’s Bicycle Czar (201 Santa Rosa Ave., 707.528.8676) opened in 2007 and is the original used bike shop in Sonoma County, says owner Brooks Van Holt. His mission, he says, is “to bring order to the used bicycle world.” His business offers services and vintage parts rarely found anywhere else. The business is a resource for used parts and information on bikes of days gone by. “It’s fun not knowing what is

going to come through the door,” says Van Holt. “That’s the exciting part. It could be something that was bought this year or last year, or something that has been hanging in a garage for 50 years that needs to be refurbished. We’ve got our technique down, and we know how to bring bikes back to life.” Bird House Bicycles (birdhousecycles.com) owner Drew Merritt started his repair business after finding a used bike himself and discovering the market for them. His business is run on his parent’s west Sonoma County property in a red barn. He crams in as many bikes as he can and gets them roadworthy. He also offers classes on bike repair. “I try to think of the average working man or woman who

doesn’t need an $8,000 bike, who just needs a point-A-to-B bike,” says Merritt. Frank Hinds, owner of Uncle’s Crusty’s Bike Shop (2076 Armory Drive, Santa Rosa; 707.292.4644), was originally a buyer or “picker” for Bicycle Czar and started his business after learning the trade. He’s interested in promoting cycling and helping customers who don’t want to spend $4,000 to get started. “We provide a cost of bike and a cost of service that’s lower than other bike shops in town, so we have a different client base,” Hinds says. All these businesses focus on recycling and returning bikes to the community, and each shop has bicycle gems awaiting discovery— and a ride.—Haley Bollinger

That’s because this installment includes the release party of ‘POETRY+JAZZ: A Magical Marriage,’ the new audio book by local publisher Sher Music Co. that matches world-class poems with jazz compositions. Publisher and Petaluma local Chuck Sher will host the evening’s events, with Bay Area poets Gary Turchin and Dave Holt delivering readings. The Aqus Cafe gets musically amusing on Monday, July 6, at 189 H St., Petaluma. 6:30pm. Free. 707.778.6060.

WHEELS OF HISTORY The Marin Museum of Bicycling features exhibits of vintage mountain bikes and bikes in general.

Fat Tire Temple Curating mountain biking’s roots in the place where it all began BY NATE J. VOGE

B

icycles predate paved roads, so in a way, mountain biking has always existed. Yet Marin County is considered the birthplace of the sport, because in the 1970s local riders organized the first mountain bike

race on Mt. Tamalpais, the Repack, and designed bikes that would set the path for modern bike design. The four-week-old Marin Museum of Bicycling and Mountain Bike Hall of Fame offers tribute to that history, and to bicycles in general. “There was only one place where that activity reached a critical mass,” says Connie Breeze,

curator of the museum along with her husband, Joe, a Hall of Fame inductee and mountain biking pioneer. Joe Breeze also serves on the museum’s board. Joe Breeze and fellow pillar of the sport Charlie Kelly helped organize the first Repack race in 1976, a downhill trail on Pine Mountain that Breeze went on to

win 10 times. He also welded the first ever mountain bike from new parts, dubbed it the “Breezer,” and won Repack on it the next year. “This was our off-season fun, exploring the territory we grew up hiking around,” says Joe Breeze, at the time a road racer. Breezer No. 1, the first bike he made, is in the Smithsonian museum; Breezer No. 2 is on display at the Marin museum. The museum plans on more exhibits, but if Joe Breeze is around, be sure to listen to his stories and check out the Mountain Bike Hall of Fame to read about his achievements in the sport, because he will humbly downplay them on his walk around the museum. From retrofitted 1940s Schwinn clunkers to sleek, $10,000 carbon fiber bikes with finely tuned suspension, the history of cycling is told through the bikes themselves. To complete the story, a separate exhibit features a rare collection of 19th-century bikes, including the Victorian classic with the giant front tire and another model, with a chainless, shaft-drive design. All of the bikes in this exhibit are on long-term loan from David Igler, son of prolific bike collector Ralph Igler, whom Joe Breeze met in 1975. “We were able to cherry-pick to show the stepping stones in the evolution,” says Joe Breeze. “These are really hard to come by.” The first bike in the exhibit is a French model from 1868 made of forged iron. It’s also the first bicycle with pedals and the first to be commercially produced. The tires look like wagon wheels, yet the design is modern compared to some of the comical and creative design that followed in the next 10 years. In 1890, the addition of rubber tires and a chain made riding safer and more efficient, ) 22

ushering in a decade known as cycling’s golden age. In the 1890s, there were two patent offices in the United States, one for bicycle inventions, one for all other inventions. Many companies that made bikes in the late 1800s went on to make cars and car parts. “Cycling paved the way for the automobile— literally paved the way,� says Joe Breeze, explaining how roads were initially paved for cyclists, not cars. (The museum recently hosted a lecture by Carlton Reid, author of Roads Were Not Built for Cars.)

‘There was only one place where that activity reached a critical mass.’ — Connie Breeze The Marin Museum of Bicycling has been in the works for years. Though organizers are still seeking a major donor, the museum opened thanks to volunteer and community support. There are no paid employees. Joe Breeze estimates he’s put in around 2,000 hours of unpaid work on the museum. To raise money, the museum sells bricks that range from $250 for a 4-by-8-inch brick to $1,000 for a 1-foot-square brick. The bricks form part of a wall in the shape of Mount Tamalpais in front of the museum—the mountain where it all began. The Marin Museum of Bicycling and Mountain Bike Hall of Fame is open 11am–5pm, Thursday–Sunday, at 1966 Sir Francis Drake Blvd., Fairfax. $10, adults; $5, students and youth ages 12–17; $3, children ages 6–11; for children under five, free.

Stage

Under the artistic direction of Amy Miller, the Transcendence people keep making this work, blending top-tier talent, brilliant programming and a sense of polish and enthusiasm that turns each show into something that’s part concert, part dance party, part master class and part oldfashioned tent revival. The spirit of music is deďŹ nitely present, made both sacred and silly through the infectious way the company brings the musical numbers to life. Each show is two-dozen tiny moments of pure theater. Characters, brought to life through song, are portrayed by Broadway professionals performing from their souls. And this time there are blasts of colored smoke and a welltimed release of doves to add an extra bit of theatricality. Highlights include Leslie McDonel’s slinky interpretation of “Summertimeâ€? (from Porgy and Bess), Julie Craig and Michael Mahaney’s lovely duet “Say It Somehowâ€? (from The Light in the Piazza) and a pair of stunningly funny songs by Lexy Fridell (“Miss Byrd,â€? “In My Carâ€?), who teams up later with Stephan Stubbins for a clever condensation of West Side Story, singing all of its songs in six minutes. Memorably shining a light on Transcendence’s goal to inspire and cheer hearts, David R. Gordon and company deliver an original song, “Best Night Ever.â€? Written by Amy Miller, Morgan Karr and Daniel Weidlein, the song nicely encapsulates the Broadway Under the Stars experience with a poetic reminder to always ďŹ nd some music in the present moment, and to use that music to make every moment count.

Bedside Manners Sundance-winning ‘Me and Earl’ can’t get the adults right BY RICHARD VON BUSACK

omething innocent and sweet survives in Me and Earl and the Dying Girl to balance out a manipulative, conniving streak so effective that Fox Searchlight paid $12 million for the film at the Sundance Film Festival—the biggest buy in the fest’s history.

Me and Earl is never straight up Fault in Our Stars / Love Story backwash, despite the redemption of the troubled hero, the self-loathing, self-described “pasty-faced” protagonist Greg (Thomas Mann). Greg’s mom forces him to hang out with Rachel (Olivia Cooke), a neighbor fighting a losing battle with leukemia. Greg is distracted from his visits of mercy by an annoying crush on the prettiest girl in school (Katherine C. Hughes). Meanwhile, African-American sidekick Earl (RJ Cyler) follows the sidekick’s ancient path. He coolly endorses the hero’s decisions, right up until the key moment when he, the Sidekick, can reveal the simple, honest emotions that our hero is too complex to understand.

The plot has the traditional youngadult-lit problem of badly delineated actual adults. Greg’s dad (Nick Offerman) and Mr. McCarthy, Greg’s favorite teacher seem to be the same character. (The latter has tattoos— that’s how you can tell the difference.) It’s a tribute to Molly Shannon’s wry subtleties that she can wring so much emotion out of the one-note role of Rachel’s drunken mom. The young actors, especially the sweet, sad Cooke don’t overdo it. Mann brings in a tough, selfish streak that took Michael Cera many movies to discover. Cinematographer Chung-hoon Chung, of the original Oldboy, films the Pittsburgh locations so well that you think you’ve been some place exotic when you leave. The Vertigo references don’t seem in vain when you see the precipitous streets, the noble old Victorian houses and a three-story bookshop with steep, bell-tower-like steps. ‘Me and Earl and the Dying Girl’ is playing at Summerfield Cinemas, 551 Summerfield Road, Santa Rosa. 707.525.8909.

Green Summer Weill Hall opens the wall for the season BY CHARLIE SWANSON

S

ince opening three years ago, the Green Music Center at Sonoma State University has hosted many compelling concerts in its acoustically immaculate Weill Hall. This weekend, the center kicks of its ambitious Summer Performance Series, with international headliners and legendary performers.

The center’s new director of programming is Peter Williams. The former artistic director at Yoshi’s jazz clubs in San Francisco and Oakland, Williams joined the Green Music Center last February. He likens Weill Hall, with its retractable back wall that opens out onto a massive lawn, to the famous Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. “I love the set-up for the summer

shows,â€? says Williams. “Sitting outside seeing a show, I think, is a great way to spend a summer evening.â€? Weill Hall opens July 4 for the ďŹ rst concert in the series, and it’s a doozy. Broadway star Megan Hilty, best known for her work in the hit musical Wicked and for roles on television shows like Smash, is backed by the Santa Rosa Symphony for an all-American program followed by ďŹ reworks, to end the night with a bang. Other highlights of the season include country star Martina McBride, actor-turned-crooner Kevin Spacey, Natalie Cole, Orquesta Buena Vista Social Club, Chris Isaak, Steve Martin with the Steep Canyon Rangers, Dwight Yoakam, Kristin Chenoweth and Smokey Robinson. The show that Williams is most looking forward to is the center’s inaugural Dawg Day Afternoon Bluegrass Festival on Sunday, July 12, featuring the David Grisman Sextet, the Del McCoury Band and Jerry Douglas presenting the Earls of Leicester. Named after Grisman’s nickname “Dawg,â€? the festival is soon to become a staple of the center’s concert series, and Del McCoury couldn’t be more pleased. “I like it there, it’s such a unique part of the country, a lot of great musicians there,â€? says McCoury in an interview from his home in Nashville. McCoury’s connection to the Bay Area goes back to his earliest days, when he played in Berkeley with Bill Monroe and briey appeared in the Golden State Boys in the 1960s. A veteran of festivals like Hardly Strictly Bluegrass in San Francisco, McCoury is enthusiastic to share the stage with old friends. “Jerry [Douglas] produced several albums for me,â€? says McCoury, “and I got to know David Grisman when he was just a teenager. I’ve known those guys forever. I’m looking forward to coming.â€?

ARIES (March 21–April 19) To determine whether you are aligned with the cosmic flow, please answer the following questions. 1. Would you say that your current situation is more akin to treading water in a mosquito-ridden swamp, or conducting a ritual of purification in a clear mountain stream? 2. Have you been wrestling with boring ghosts and arguing with traditions that have lost most of their meaning? Or have you been transforming your past and developing a riper relationship with your roots? 3. Are you stuck in a gooey muck? Or are you building a flexible new foundation?

Smith won four Grammys this year, largely on the strength of his hit single “Stay with Me.” The song has a lush gospel choir backing up his lead vocals, or so it seems. But in fact, every voice in that choir is his own. He recorded 20 separate harmony tracks that were woven together to create the big sound. What would be the equivalent in your world, Taurus? How could you produce a wealth of support for yourself? What might you do to surround yourself with a web of help and nourishment? How can you amplify and intensify your efforts so they have more clout? Now would be an excellent time to explore possibilities like these.

Born under the sign of Gemini, Gustave Courbet (1819–1877) was a French painter who upset traditionalists. Unlike many of his contemporaries, he wasn’t interested in creating idealistic art based on historical and religious themes. He focused on earthy subjects about which he had direct experience, like the day-to-day lives of peasants and laborers. So even though he became a highly praised celebrity by his mid-30s, the arbiters of the art world tried to exclude him. For example, they denied him a place in “Exposition Universelle,” a major international exhibition in Paris. In response, Courbet built a temporary gallery next door to the main hall, where he displayed his own work. As you strive to get your voice heard, Gemini, I urge you to be equally cheeky and innovative. Buy yourself a megaphone or erect your own clubhouse or launch a new enterprise. Do whatever it takes to show who you really are.

CANCER (June 21–July 22) “I am trying to be unfamiliar with what I am doing,” said composer John Cage in describing his creative process. That’s excellent counsel for you to meditate on, Cancerian. The less expertise and certainty you have about the rough magic you’re experimenting with, the more likely it is that this magic will lead you to useful breakthroughs. To bolster Cage’s advice and help you get the most from your period of self-reinvention, I offer you this quote from Picasso: “I imitate everyone except myself.”

LEO (July 23–August 22) Your words of wisdom come from Leo artist Andy Warhol: “Sometimes people let the same problem make them miserable for years, when they could just say, ‘So what.’ That’s one of my favorite things to say. ‘So what.’” Can I interest you in that approach, Leo? It has similarities to the Buddhist strategy of cultivating non-attachment—of dropping your fixations about matters that can’t be controlled or changed. But I suspect you would draw special benefits from the breezy, devil-may-care spirit of Warhol’s version. So start there. VIRGO (August0 23–September 22) In her late 20s, J. K. Rowling was a single mother living on welfare. That’s when she began work on her Harry Potter books. Craig Newmark had turned 42 by the time he founded Craigslist. One of the world’s most oft-visited websites is HuffingtonPost.com, which Arianna Huffington established when she was 54. As for Harland Sanders, creator of KFC—he didn’t begin building the global empire of fried-chicken restaurants until the age of 65. I hope the preceding serves as a pep talk, Virgo, reminding you that it’s never to late to instigate the project of a lifetime. The time between now and your birthday in 2016 will be an especially favorable phase to do so. Start ruminating on what it might be. LIBRA (September 23–October 22) It’s the power-building phase of your astrological cycle. To take maximum advantage, convey the following message to

your subconscious mind: “I know you will provide me with an abundance of insight, inspiration and energy for whatever intention I choose to focus on. And during the next four weeks, my intention will be to cultivate, expand and refine my personal power. I will especially focus on what author Stephen R. Covey called ‘the capacity to overcome deeply embedded habits and to cultivate higher, more effective ones.’”

SCORPIO (October 23–November 21)

I’m a big fan of science and logic and objective thinking. Most of us need more of that good stuff. The world would be a saner, safer place if we all got regular lessons on how to be more reasonable and rational. But in the immediate future, Scorpio, I’ll steer you in a different direction. I believe you will benefit from injecting your imagination with primal raw crazy wild mojo. For example, you might read utopian science fiction and fairy tales about talking animals and poetry that scrambles your intellectual constructs. You could remember your dreams and ruminate about them as if they were revelations from the Great Beyond. You may also find it healthy to fantasize profusely about forbidden and impossible and hilarious adventures.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22–December 21) There are lots of inquiries and invitations coming your way—perhaps too many. I don’t think you should pursue all of them. In fact, I suspect that only one would ultimately make you a better human being and a braver explorer and a wiser lover. And that one, at first glance, may have not as much initial appeal as some of the others. So your first task is to dig deep to identify the propositions that are attractive on the surface but not very substantial. Then you’re more likely to recognize the offer that will have lasting value even if it doesn’t make a spectacular first impression.

CAPRICORN (December 22–January 19) “I find a lot of people physically attractive, but finding people mentally and spiritually attractive is different and much harder for me.” So says 40ozshawty on her Tumblr page. If you share that frustration, I have good news. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you’re due to encounter a higher-than-usual percentage of mentally and spiritually attractive people in the next six weeks. But I wonder how you’ll deal with this abundance. Will you run away from it, feeling overwhelmed by the prospect that your life could get more interesting and complicated? Or will you embrace it, daringly welcoming the interesting complications? AQUARIUS (January 20–February 18) I think you will generate good fortune for yourself by choosing between two equally invigorating but challenging tasks: losing your illusion or using your illusion. Both are quite worthy of your attention and intelligence. To succeed at either would fuel your emotional growth for months to come. You probably can’t do them both, however. So which will it be: Will you purge the illusion, or put it to work for you? PISCES (February 19–March 20)

Do you sometimes imagine yourself to be an underachieving underdog? If so, I suggest you start weaning yourself from that fantasy. Do you on occasion allow people to take advantage of you? It’s time to outgrow that role. Do you ever flirt with being a self-pitying martyr? Say bye-bye to that temptation. Cosmic forces are conspiring to relieve you of tendencies to act in any or all of those ways. I’m not saying you will instantly transform into a swashbuckling hero who knocks people over with your radiant self-assurance. But you will, at the very least, be ready to learn much, much more about how to wield your vulnerability as a superpower.

Cheers to Local! Lagunitas Brewing Company began on a kitchen stove in Northern California in 1993. From actually getting their beer into bottles and onto the streets (laws permitting) they look to the future‌ expanding from their Petaluma brewery into a brand new Chicago production facility, bringing their flagship IPA across the globe, and if need be, being capable of making beer on the Moon. Wherever you go, beer speaks, people mumble.
