Foxy's Fall Century

Foxy's Fall Century:

One of the many events we photographed this month was the Foxy's Fall Century Ride put on by the Davis Bike Club  This ride starts and finishes in Davis, Ca. then takes the riders through the Wooden Valley wine Country, past Lake Barryessa, and all over Solano County.  This year there were around 1800 riders riding every type of Bicycle imaginable.  Our team of 3 photographers did our best to capture the flavor and essence of the event.

Here's something you don't see everyday

Here's something you don't see everyday, a Pumpkin Regatta.
Every year at The Great Pumpkin Festival in Elk Grove, California the weekend is topped off with a pumpkin regatta.  Extremely large pumpkins weighing around 1200 pounds are hollowed out then used as boats, then raced across a pond in Elk Grove Regional Park. One pumpkin was big enough to carry two adult passengers comfortably.  The largest pumpkin seen at the festival weighed in at 1,630.5 lbs.
