As for a greater sense of self-knowledge, it's there for the taking, too. He's talking about bicycle racing. Gianni hosts numerous bike races each year, including the grueling Ring of Fire contest, unsanctioned by the major bicycling organizations. Winners get a can of Taylor Maid Organic Panic coffee, a loaf of Great Harvest bread, a bottle of Gianni Cyclery hot sauce, and the pride of being top dog. Over 14,000 boys and girls ages 5 to 18 form the majority of soccer fanaticos kickin' it around locally.
Leagues typically arrange teams in several divisions to ensure relatively even competition.
Oh, yes, and other folks in canoes, too. From a quiet private beach just off River Road at Mirabel Road in Forestville, Burke's Canoe Trips dispatches dozens of sleek silver vessels daily through the summer months to meander downstream to just north of Guerneville. There, all you have to do is drag your craft up onto the sandy shore, gather your belongings, and take a short walk back up to the road to catch the funky old school bus that will shuttle you back to Burke's parking lot. It's about a 10-mile trip, typically accomplished in three to four hours. This page was designed and created by the Boulevards team.
