Greetings from James Raia

Published 10/15/2008

In recent months, I’ve begun several new writing projects. The San Francisco Examiner has a long, distinguished tenure as a print publication, but it's now making great electronic progress. I’ve joined hundreds of other "Examiners" as the National Cycling Examiner and Monterey Peninsula Examiner. Check 'em out via the links, cyclingexaminer.com and montereypeninsulaexaminer.com

I also own and maintain the sites golftribune.com (it's all about golf) montereypeninsula.org (it's all about the monterey peninsula) and theweeklydriver.com. It's my syndicated car review column and other automotive content). Take a look and be in touch. Cheers, James Raia. E-mail: james@byjamesraia.com

Tour de France: A Video Introduction To Cycling's Grand Affair

Published 07/3/2008

Several colleagues and friends have accompanied me to the Tour de France. Two years ago, Bruce Aldrich was the second friend who came to the Tour to celebrate his 50th birthday.

Bruce is a skilled endurance athlete with strong finishes in events ranging from the Hawaiian Ironman Triathlon to the Western States 100-Mile Endurance Run. He’s also a skilled videographer. He made this video during Floyd Landis’ now-erased 2006 Tour de France victory.

Take a look at the video via the read more link below. Then spend some surfin' around the site and then tell friends, family and colleagues. Cheers, James Raia.
