What baseball is to Cooperstown, bicycling now is to Davis with the opening of the Bicycling Hall of Fame on April 24th. On a rare sunny spring day, 14 Sacramento cycling enthusiasts rendezvoused at my house and rode over the Causeway to Davis to attend the grand opening of the Bicycling Hall of Fame.The peleton consisted of Herb and Kay Lee, Mike Broderick and Barbara Greenwood, Bud and Jeanne Leland, Bill Staack and Kathy Douglas, Peter Saucerman, Frank Gerace, Lesli Pletcher, Eric Saur, Jennie Babich, and myself.
