    Hey Team Alameda!  We have two new sponsors supporting our group! 

    First up is Alameda Art Lab.

    Alameda Art Lab offers classes in mosaics, stained glass, fused glass art and jewelry, wire art, painting and drawing for adults and youths. Located in Alameda, Alameda Art Lab also offers after-school classes, summer camps, parties (think birthday, bridal, girls' night out, you think of it, and they will help host it!) and team building events.

    Alameda Art Lab is owned and operated by
    JaYing Wang, a mosaic and glass artist, art teacher and business owner in Alameda since 2005.

    JaYing Wang has taught art classes to hundreds of adults and children. She has been a mosaic and glass artist since 1995 and an art teacher since 2002. In the mid-2000's, JaYing owned Children's Art Studio in Alameda, CA, where she taught art to pre-school children and elementary school kids. She has also taught after-school art classes for Alameda Education Foundation, teaching at most of the elementary schools in town. In addition to teaching classes, JaYing also loves to work on large commissions. She has created many public mosaic murals in collaboration with schools (locally, she has installed murals at St. Phillip Neri, Otis Elementary, Bay Farm Elementary and Amelia Earhart school), as well as commissions for churches, restaurants, and even the South Shore shopping center.

    You can check out the upcoming art classes being offered at Alameda Art Lab by visiting their website: www.alamedaartlab.com.


    Second up is Buestad Construction.

    We are very happy to announce that local firm, Buestad Construction Inc., has agreed to sponsor Team Alameda for the 2024-2025 season!  We are very proud to join the list of other local community organizations that Buestad supports, such as Habitat for Humanity East Bay/Silicon Valley, the Alameda Architectural Preservation Society, the Alameda Council Boy Scouts of America, and the Alameda Point Collaborative among others.

    The Buestad family has been active in the construction industry since founding a business in Norway in 1900.  In 1948, Buestad Construction was founded, and quickly became an Alameda asset by building the Alameda Municipal Golf Course and other private and civic projects. 

    This year, Buestad Construction celebrated 75 years in business in the United States.  Run by Team Alameda member, John Buestad (the third generation of Buestads to run the US organization), the company focuses on completing commercial builds, modern residences, and historic renovations across the Bay Area.  As their website states: “Buestad Construction brings the spirit of collaboration to each project. The company is known for its accommodating style, its willingness to experiment and research—all in support of ensuring client and design team goals. With over 75 years of building, Buestad knows the importance of delivering both the big vision and the exacting, minute details.”

    If you are looking at a commercial build or a home renovation, please consider supporting Buestad Construction.  You can see examples of their beautiful work by visiting their website at www.buestad.com.

    Biking at night can be fun, but it is important to plan ahead and make sure you always have the right equipment to be visible every time you get on your bike. This class will help you:

    • See and be seen in all conditions
    • Meet and exceed the CA legal requirements for lights and reflectors
    • Choose the right lights for the type of bicycling you'll be doing
    • Bling out your bike and yourself with highly visible accessories!

    The 2023 Team Alameda “away weekend” of riding is only a week and a half away!  Just like last year, we are going to hit the roads around the Russian River and will have our “base” be downtown Occidental.  

    The dates are October 20th (Friday) to 22nd (Sunday).

    The Occidental Lodge, which is in downtown Occidental and close to several restaurants, set aside a block of 10 rooms for us. Please check out the lodge at https://www.occidentallodge.com/.  Call the lodge to make reservations and tell them that you’re with “Team Alameda”. Their phone number is (707) 874 3623.

    If you would rather stay somewhere else in the area, or you didn’t jump on the reservations in time and the Lodge is all booked up, here are other options in the area:

    • Inn at Occidental (really close by)
    • Inn at the Tides in Bodega Bay
    • Lots of other hotels and AirBNBs in Guerneville

    We will have options for riding, both distance and pace, and will do our best to make sure that everyone has places for refueling along the way.  We are organizing a SAG car for us.  We hope that you consider joining us for a fun weekend of riding.  Please let us know that you are intending to join in on the fun by joining our Discord thread at #away-ride-occidental-2323, or dropping me an email at president@teamalameda.org, so that we can be sure to include you in our dinner reservations and ensure that you are part of the crowd when we roll out for our rides.  If we have not heard from you by this Friday the 13th, we cannot guarantee that we will have a seat for you during our group dinner on Saturday.

    I saw Shimano recalled 680,000 cranks today. The recall lists any cranks manufactured prior to July 2019, including the FC-R8000. I have an FC-R8000 from 2021, manufacturing code “TA” (so after July 2019, since these codes progress alphabetically).

    This recall involves Shimano Ultegra FC-6800, Dura-Ace FC-9000, Ultegra FC-R8000, Dura-Ace FC-R9100 and FC-R9100P, 11-Speed Bonded Hollowtech Road Cranksets, manufactured prior to July 2019 sold individually and on bicycles sold by other manufacturers such as Trek and Specialized. The recalled models have printed ‘Ultegra’ or Dura Ace’ logos on the arm. The affected models are pre-July 2019 production and have the following two letter production code on backside of the crank arm where the pedals are attached: KF, KG, KH, KI, KJ, KK, KL, LA, LB, LC, LD, LE, LF, LG, LH, LI, LJ, LK, LL, MA, MB, MC, MD, ME, MF, MG, MH, MI, MJ, MK, ML, NA, NB, NC, ND, NE, NF, NG, NH, NI, NJ, NK, NL, OA, OB, OC, OD, OE, OF, OG, OH, OI, OJ, OK, OL, PA, PB, PC, PD, PE, PF, PG, PH, PI, PJ, PK, PL, QA, QB, QC, QD, QE, QF, QG, QH, QI, QJ, QK, QL, RA, RB, RC, RD, RE, and RF.

    United States Consumer Product SafetCommission recall statement

    The USCPSC site list says consumers with an affected crankset “should

    immediately stop using the cranksets manufactured before July 1, 2019,

    and contact an authorized Shimano dealer to schedule a free crankset

    inspection. 

    “Only consumers whose cranksets show signs of bonding separation or delamination during the inspection will be provided a free replacement crankset and installation.”

    Hey all,

    Just a reminder that there is a section of our website, under Forums, where you can find lots of interesting information.  Just now, six very nice road and mountain bikes were posted out under the Bikes and Gear forum, and a free TA jersey is being offered under the General forum.  Check it out! :)

    You can also subscribe to the forums that interest you so that you are alerted when a new posting is made on the forum.

    Thanks.
