The camera was a Canon G9. It's a little heavier and bulkier than some might take on a ride, but the picture quality (including RAW) is terrific. Only knock is the manual control dials (which I love) can shift if you operate the camera with gloves on. There have been two successors to the G9, and based on reviews and the fact that Canon concentrated on ISO Improvements rather than megapixels, the current G11 would be worth considering. ::M Hi Daniel,

Probably next month for my 50th consecutive month of a 200k or longer ride. I do have the Grand Slam at Denny's as it is the best value on the menu. I hang out for about an hour to kill time and warm up so have to drink a lot of coffee to fill the time so they do not throw me out to early. Then my stomach acts up for the next 25 miles. I am going to have to switch to Decaf on these rides. I went by Tunitus about 7 pm but will let you know when I ride it again.

Are those powering the new Rapha chamois bun heaters for each of you or the do they power the new Rapha combo Margarita blender & helmet buffer? I recall that you were all in very good spirits when I eventually arrived. Next time can you all just pretend that you suffered a bit? Just say stuff like….”dude we JUST got here” or “we were watching you in the last 3K and your graceful style is inspiring.” Willy – 200K the day after? Let me know next time so I can be ready on 1 & Tunitas Creek with a water balloon launcher. Did you have a Grand Slam? :-) Tim…I will keep an eye on Michael the next time he gets near your bike.
