Calaveras Rd road closure to the false summit
Dennis Dong <ronincopp@...>
Happy Labor Day weekend! Today, I rode up Calaveras Rd with the intent to ride up to the false summit from Felter Rd. Calaveras Rd is currently closed at the Alameda County border to the false summit through next week. According to the work crew, they are repaving the road ONLY on the Alameda County side. They also advised that Calaveras Road will be completely open to vehicle traffic on schedule, October 1st (Monday).

E-Bike for sale, Flashbike v1
Hello, FFBC members. It seems that not everyone is using the subgroups on this email list so I am sending this to the general info list. So far, there are only 6 people subscribing to the forsale@ffbc.groups.io list. If you want to take advantage of the subgroups that have been created, forsale, offers, discussion, you can sign up for these specific groups at: If we don't take advantage of these subgroups, then everyone will simple send all messages to the broader info group and we will all simply get a lot of messages we aren't interested in reading.... Anyhow, enough with the public service part of the message.... I am selling an E-Bike that I purchased about 9 months ago. It has probably less than 200 miles and is like new complete with a fender kit. It's a perfect city commuter bike complete with integrated lights, fenders and a rugged and reliable rear motor drive. The bike has an integrated cellular modem with bluetooth communications with a Flashbike phone app, which reports GPS position, battery state, etc, much like a Tesla App for tesla vehicles. Being a MTB type layout with flat bars, the bike can fit people from between about 5'4" to 6'2". Battery range is from 24 to 60 miles per charge depending upon power setting and terrain and rider effort. Info and Specs here: I am asking for $1000 or best reasonable offer. Please contact me at my personal email: wkurihara@... Regards, West Kurihara

John Martin <washo715@...>
Hey FFBC Members! For all of you beer drinkers with a riding problem, I have a solution, this Friday Aug 24th will be the last Das Brew beer ride for the summer. Come out and enjoy a short 18 mile ride, then enjoy some beer and sausages or any snacks that you care to bring and possibly share with fellow hungry riders. We will be meeting at 6pm and plan a 6:15pm start. If you prefer to just drink, you can meet us around 7:45 when we return or just hang out and get a head start on the brew while the rest of us ride. Das Brew is located on South Grimmer near Fremont Blvd. Hope to see you there!! Regards, John Martin "Rookie" ride leader

mea culpa - Thursday Morning Coffee Ride
Lori Sommer
Good Morning, The sign-in sheet from June 21 has gone missing! It was the 29 mile route from Sprouts to Mission Coffee and back. Please check your ride log and let me know if you were there. If you just think you were probably on the ride let me know too, I'll add you. I apologize for my poor record keeping skills. I vow to take a picture of the sign-in sheet at the beginning of the ride and reminders would be appreciated in order to avoid this in the future. Lori
