It's been a long time since I've biked --- really must get back to it.
Anyhow, this showed up on my Facebook page, and was "liked" by my friends, Ben and A.J. So, I took a look and thought -- this is something bikers might like to know about. So, here you are.

Yes, there is a place for absolutely everything within an "entire-life management system (elms)" like that which "the Civic Mentor" is the public part of. (Bicycles belong to the personal transport and recreation sections, in the main, as options for private choice.) The private part of the "elms" being developed for any human who wants one is, well, the "Private Mentor."

| May 7 Pittsburg Twilight Criterium to bring professional cycling's elite riders to NorCal Race directors for the inaugural Pittsburg Twilight Criterium unveiled today their confirmed field of riders for the May 7 event, showcasing some of the top cyclists in the sport, including members of the 2012 Olympic training team and several past National Champions. Project Sport, organizers of the "Pitt Crit," are crediting a minimum $12,000 prize list, including $10,000 in cash winnings being split across the men's and women's pros, as a major incentive drawing such competitive racers. The event will offer the largest purse of any women's race in Northern California. The race becomes Project Sport's fourth cycling event in the area, adding to the annual San Rafael Twilight Criterium, and the one-time San Francisco Twilight Criterium and Sacramento Grand Prix races. The company also produces the US Half Marathon series in San Francisco. Organizers believe they are benefiting as well from the reputation of their other events. "We always aim to put on a big show," said race director and Project Sport president Ryan Dawkins. "We bring in DJs and professional race announcers, and add European-style podium presentations. We add little perks like free coffee, dollar beers and riders' names on their race numbers. We aim to make them feel like the elite professional athletes that they are." Competitors in Saturdays contest include:
The event will present six professional & elite amateur races ranging from the Elite 4 and Masters categories to Women's and Men's Pro. In addition to the main event races, the afternoon and evening will include fun, free events for families featuring a kid's bike race, a family fun walk, outdoor activities, and FitFest 2011 - a family fitness, health and wellness festival. "We've spent almost a year building this with Project Sport, and couldn't be more excited for what's about to come to Pittsburg," said Ali Endress, of the Pittsburg Arts and Community Foundation. "We watched their criterium races in both San Rafael and Sacramento, and saw what huge assets they were in those communities. They provide a great presentation to the fans, bring a ton excitement to the community, bring foot traffic to business districts, and send a valuable message of fitness and health." "We're excited to be working with Pittsburg," said Dawkins. "Our riders love competing in Northern California - many of them live here - and Pittsburg is one of those communities that is tailor-made for hosting an event like this. Old Town is so vibrant. It will be great for the competitors and spectators alike."

Pittsburg bringing pro cycling to East Contra Costa
Pittsburg bringing pro cycling to East Contra Costa
Pittsburg is adding to its array of events to draw crowds to its refurbished downtown with a bicycle race May 7 that will include some of pro cycling's big names.
The Pittsburg Twilight Criterium will include about 600 cyclists in men's and women's races around a ¾-mile course.
Among the top competitors will be Oakland resident Fred Rodriguez, a three-time national cycling champion, and Coryn Rivera, who is dominating the U.S. women's cycling circuit, said Ryan Chamberlain, of Project Sport in San Francisco, the event promoter.
Both races will have a total purse of $10,000 in cash and equipment, Chamberlain said.
"We have experience working with cities to get foot traffic to the downtown area," he said. "They were looking for something that could draw the public down there."
Pittsburg restaurants and other businesses will be "opening up their doors and coming out into the street" for the event, said Alexandra Endress of the sponsoring Pittsburg Arts and Community Foundation.
The cycling races will run along Third, Railroad, Eighth and Black Diamond streets from 2 to 9 p.m.
Sponsors have incorporated a health and fitness component into the event.
InShape Fitness will be providing 30-minute-long fitness classes, including spinning, Pilates and yoga.
Rounding out the all-day event will be a 5k run on the cycling course ($20 entry fee), a 3-point shootout tournament, and numerous activities for kids, Endress said.
A health and wellness village will include healthful cooking demonstrations with free food samples, and free blood pressure, body fat, glucose and cholesterol screenings.
"This was Councilwoman Nancy Parent's vision," Endress said. "She thought it would be a great way to highlight sport, fitness and health."
The day will kick off at 9 a.m. with the first farmers market of the season.
The city hopes to make the race an annual downtown event, Chamberlain said, joining the fall Seafood Festival and a series of weekly car shows during the summer.
Parking and shuttle service will be available from City Hall and the Pittsburg-Bay Point BART station.
