The cycling obsession struck placing first, and Jesse tied for first place, with Robert Pasco of Mr. Bastide at age 13. Born Belmont, in the men’s division, in France, where competitive “I By Renee Batti cycling is a popular sport, he moved at age 5 to Maine. But his memories of the cycling world of France lingered. “Something stuck — there’s something so romantic about it that attracted me,” says Mr. Bastide, 27. Three years ago he decided “the biking would be better” in California and moved to the Bay Area. Eventually, he and Ms. BastideVallstrom ended up at the same software company, VMware in Palo Alto, although they worked in different buildings. She’s a quality assurance manager, and he’s a QA engineer. Last year, when Ms. BastideVallstrom was becoming increasingly interested in the cycling world beyond commuting, “I heard a rumor at work about this fast biker guy” named Jesse, she recounts. She e-mailed him, an acquaintance was made, and they decided to go for a ride. The first time they set off together, “I thought, wow! She has a real motor,” Mr. Bastide recalls. “I had to work hard to keep up.” He obviously didn’t mind making the effort. “We biked for a couple of months, then figured we liked each other off the bike,” Ms. Bastide-Vallstrom says, glancing at her grinning husband. Before moving to Menlo Park in May, the couple commuted on their bikes to Palo Alto from San Francisco. Last summer, they flew to Sweden to get married. While there, they took a two-day 300-mile bike ride — something they don’t plan to try again. “Once you’ve biked more than seven and a half hours at one time, it ceases to be fun,” he says wryly. A way of life Their shared love of cycling goes beyond an “addiction,” Mr. Bastide notes. “It’s really a lifestyle, and we enjoy it,” he says. Their sleep and eating habits are geared to support the considerable energy they put into cycling, and that means that “the food bill has really gone up,” Ms. BastideVallstrom laughs. “We eat more organic food, real food, made from scratch,” she says, adding See CYCLING, page 27 November 8, 2006 ■ The Almanac ■ 25 ontemporary two-story residence with an Cabundance of natural light, and an open and flowing floor plan.

There’s less stress, and I’m checking out online coaching a much more happy person.” programs such as: Exploring options While both cyclists enjoy racing, Ms. Bastide-Vallstrom also emphasizes the social aspects of riding, particularly as a part of a team. Mr. Bastide, who calls cycling for men “a testosterone fest,” recently joined a team as well, called Kovarus/Squadra Ovest. People who are interested in exploring their options in the biking world might start by riding with local groups. “You don’t have to be a member to test out a group — you just show up,” Ms. Bastide-Vallstrom says. They mention Peninsula groups such as Alto Velo and Peninsula Velo as possibilities. Ms. Bastide-Vallstrom recommends finding a personal coach if you’re serious about training for road cycling and racing. Her coach is Linda Jackson, a cyclist in the 1996 Summer Olympics who manages the PABW racing team she rides with. A coach, Ms. Bastide-Vallstrom says, can help novices avoid common mistakes. For example, inexperienced riders eager to fully participate in cycling events “tend to go hard all the time,” she says. A coach can moderate that urge and “can give you long-term goals.” Mr. Bastide notes that would-be DAVID L.

He also recommends consulting Joe Friel’s “The Cyclist’s Training Bible.” Finding the right bicycle shouldn’t be a problem with local bike shops that allow customers to go for a “demo ride,” taking the bike out on the road rather than only to the back parking lot, Mr. Bastide says. But test riding three or four bikes in the lot can also be a good way to ensure that the bike is a good fit. Ms. Bastide-Vallstrom recommends taking advantage of resources such as the speaker series offered by Palo Alto Bicycles on University Avenue. A series now scheduled there has two more Wednesday evening talks: “Descending,” on Nov. 8; and Nutrition and Racing, on Nov. 15. She also recommends the Northern California and Nevada Cycling Association Web site for people seeking information about racing. That’s at ncnca.org. A Stanford seeks volunteers for study on depression Stanford University School of Medicine is seeking 300 volunteers for a study focusing on the role of genes in depression. People who have had depression before the age of 31, who have experienced at least two depressive episodes, and who have at least one sibling or parent with depression may be eligible to participate in the study.
