Adventure Cycling Association (formerly Bikecentennial... when can I do the North Star Tour? It's my life's dream!)

Pedaling.com - wonderful source of bike rides throughout the US and portions of Canada.  Tremendous amount of data here.  Certainly plan on spending some time checking this site out!  Highly recommended.

HangtownBMX - brand new site (May 2007) designed for the promotion of BMX racing and sport in the Placerville / El Dorado County area.

Almaden Cycle Touring Club (based out of the South Bay Area - a great group that sponsors a variety of rides - including the wonderful Sierra to the Sea Tour - and the Tierra Bella Century)

Bicycle Speed and Power Calculator - this is so cool!  Lots of fun to play around with... hat's off to the person who put the time and energy (no pun intended) into developing this.  Try it out... let's see...  if I could shave 5 lbs off my bike's weight... 

The American River - Although this is geared mostly towards white water kayaking/rafting on the American River, it offers a wealth of additional information on Fishing, Bicycling, Hiking and much more for this region.  Definitely worth checking out!

El Dorado County.Net (just found this site, and it seems to have lots of good visitor's information)

El Dorado Wine Association  (great listing of all the local wineries)

Betty Sederquist - Local Photographer and Instructor.  Her photos are amazing... and if you're interested in photography, you should definitely take her Digital Imaging Class (centers on Adobe Photoshop)... my photos have improved immensely from this class, and I highly recommend it.

Mendocino Activities Guide Over 100 pages of original Mendocino travel information (including bicycling, wine tasting, and much more).  Absolutely one of my favorite places in California.

Hiking Forums  Online community for all hiking lovers (many of us cyclist also love to hike!). Come and meet other hikers!
