It was a point-less Sunday night in Singapore for Toro Rosso as well as backmarkers Caterham and Marussia...
Toro Rosso:
Jean-Eric Vergne: "My start was not the best and, in an effort to compensate for that, we switched from a two stop to a three stop strategy and I believe it could have paid off in terms of getting me back into the points. However, I then found I was having a lot of trouble just keeping the car on track and my tyres were completely worn out at the end, by which time, I had already been told to back off as the car was overheating. This is always a long, tough race and it felt particularly long for me, as I had no one to fight against in the closing stages, apart from working to keep the car away from the barriers. I always try to look on the positive side and in that respect, the updates we brought here seemed to work and we have learned a lot about the car. Therefore I still believe we can have a strong end to the season, starting in Korea, where I expect the car to work very well."
Daniel Ricciardo: "The crash was my error, trying to make up for lost ground. At the start, my car just seemed to sit there without moving off the line. It was very frustrating to lose so many places right away. I think I went down five places from ninth on the grid to fourteenth. So I was on the back foot from then on, just trying to do the best I could. In the second stint, my engineer came on the radio and said 'the pace is good, keep pushing.' I was aware that for the pace we had, we were not doing too badly and maybe at the end I was just trying to get too much out of it and made that mistake. It's a delicate corner with not much run-off and I went too deep into the apex. I then braked a bit harder, locked a wheel and went into the wall. It's not a mistake I'm used to making. I will learn from this."
Giedo van der Garde: "That was a tough race but for me a really good one - I have to say I really enjoyed myself out there tonight! Fighting with the Williams for most of the race was great, really good and I'm pleased for Tony and Kamarudin that we could put in a performance like that back in South East Asia. After a bit of a poor start I was past Charles, Bianchi and Bottas by the end of lap one and was up behind Sutil until the first stop. The car was absolutely great on the supersofts - my pace in the first stint was really strong, the same as the cars up to 12th and it just felt great for the whole first stint. We boxed for a set of mediums on lap 12 and rejoined in 18th, still ahead of Bottas who was on supersofts for the second stint. With the pace advantage that compound has here there wasn't a lot I could do to hold him off and he passed me about three laps later. When the safety car came out we boxed for another set of mediums and after the race restarted my pace was good again. I was right up with Bottas and then passed him again when he went off a couple of laps into the stint. As the fuel levels dropped he got past me again so we focused on catching Charles who had stayed out on a two-stop plan. With a long final stint he was managing his tyres and I was catching him at about two seconds a lap, and just before he had to make the final stop I passed him and then held 16th to the flag. As I say, it's good to have had a strong race here and I'm pleased for the whole team that we could fight with Williams for a lot of the race. I'm now staying out in the Far East for a break before Korea and even though tonight's race was tough physically I'm already looking forward to getting back in the car."
Charles Pic: "Even though I finished 19th I'm not too disappointed. We tried a two-stop strategy but this time it didn't work out - sometimes plans like that work, sometimes they don't and this was one of those days. Away from the line I had a pretty good start but had to move aside to avoid Bianchi and was then stuck behind him for most of the first stint. Just before we were due to box I passed him and opened up a gap within a couple of laps so the first stop wasn't so much of a fight. I was back out on track on a new set of mediums, clear of him and immediately started pushing on to my teammate. When the safety car came out I boxed early, rejoining in 19th on another set of mediums and right up with Giedo after his stop. The car felt ok at that point - the tyres were performing really well and when Giedo came in again we made the call to switch to a two stop strategy. I had a lot of laps left so I had to manage the pace so I could look after the tyres to the end but with six laps left the rears were gone so we had to come in again. My race was effectively over at that point because, even with the big pace advantage I had on the supersofts we used in the final stint I didn't have enough laps to catch the cars ahead."
Max Chilton: "What started off as quite a tough race with the balance then thankfully improved and in the end it was not a bad race for us. Once again we got another two car finish out of it which is good for the Team and we maintain our 10th place in the Championship. The degradation was quite high and it was a tough challenge to manage the tyres and still try to push for opportunities with Caterham, which came along when Pic stopped late in the race enabling us to gain an extra place. Overall I'm pleased with my first night race and have enjoyed the whole Singapore experience."
Jules Bianchi: "I was hoping for better today but the first half of the race didn't go at all well for me. Just as I was stopping for the first time I lost the gears and I was worried it was mechanical but we stopped again to change the steering wheel and the problem thankfully went away. The second stint was tough because I was so far back by then and it was looking like it would be a very long and lonely race, also hitting the blue flag phase much earlier than usual. When the Safety Car came out it helped enormously as we were able to catch up and unlap ourselves. After struggling with traction initially I was then able to get into a good rhythm with strong pace. I was quicker but whilst trying to pass my team-mate my tyres went away completely and we had to stop again much earlier than plan. After that, having seen the degradation we were incurring trying to push, I had no option but to hold back but at least I was able to gain a place when Pic stopped again at the end. Some difficult points in the race but what matters is the Team result."

Although we have introduced and added other single-vineyard Cabernets during that time, and there are staunch followers of our Morisoli, Vittorio's and Mt. Veeder Vineyard Cabernets, many still consider Preston Cabernet to be the single best wine we make here most years; and the 2006 goes a long way towards proving this point. "A Classic Rutherford Cabernet" said noted wine writer Dan Berger on a tasting visit to the Winery not long ago. It's a medium full-bodied wine, nearly always accessible even from the barrel. I like to say it's more feminine than our other Cabernets because of its softer mouthfeel, its understatement and its early drinkability. It has concentrated aromas of black cherry, spice and mint with rich full flavors of earth and cedar…a beautiful, luscious, elegant wine, not overpowering nor excessively alcoholic or tannic.

A few years ago when I was 30 lbs. heavier and had a bad back, I bought a Giant Cypress DX with a comfy seat with shocks in both the saddle and fork. I was very happy even though I moved slowly. Now I am transitioning into a serious bike commuter. Here's what I've been thinking about doing to make my ride faster and more comfortable for my 16 mile roundtrip rides:
- Exchanging my 700c/40 tires to 700c/35 or 700c/32. Is there a big difference?
- Switching out my Giant handlebars with something like the Nitto North Road brand or another albatross style. The current handlebars put a strain on my wrists after only a few miles. I'm thinking this switch will help with the wrist pain. I need to sit straight up due to back problems, but noticed that when testing albatross style bars, I had more leverage going uphills than the Giant bars.
I spoke to my local bike shop about exchanging the handlebars and they said it could be done, but they may have to extend the cabling and the hand shifters will have to stay put.
Anyway, that's what I'm thinking of doing. I think the smaller tires will give me a little more speed and the bars some further comfort.
Would love to hear from anyone else who has made this type of overhaul or if anyone has any comments/suggestions.
Thanks! Maryanne
Narrow tires will make a
Narrow tires will make a difference in handling and rolling speed for sure, but realize the higher pressure will make for a less cushioned ride. You may also need narrower rims if you want to go much thinner, and brake adjustments (unless they're disc). And of course your skills (and fun) will (need to) improve with the added speed and nimbleness.
The handlebar swap sounds like it would sit you upright more, but there comes a point when you need to think of the bike 'holistically', as they are designed and packaged that way for the most part. The shop is right that the cables and even housings, brake levers, etc. may not work once the new bars are set up. And at some point in your tweaking, if you keep riding more and increasing skills and strength, a custom bike fit may be worth it.
You may also find the seat itself may become uncomfortable. It's counter-intuitive, but more padding doesn't always mean the softer or more comfortable ride - for a very upright position like the Cypress they tend to be OK though. Just make sure the width is compatible with your sitz bones. Also double-check your thinking that sitting straight up is the right thing for your back problems - sometimes that seems right but can drive more pressure (and bumps) into your spine. A more important factor is your hip angle, and of course handlebar placement (not just shape) will dictate (or alleviate) shoulder and neck strain.
The shops are the experts. I wish I could tell you which shop to trust the most and which to stay away from but I mostly do my own builds and maintenance. In doing my own builds I've learned that the frame dictates most of the fit, feel, and handling, and having built a few hits and misses for my girl I can say that there's more to the female fit than just scaling a men's bike. They really are purpose-built (touring bikes for instance lengthen the chainstay to avoid heel strikes into panniers), so consider at some point in your progression you'll be better off upgrading than tweaking (it's a downward spiral ;).
Good luck, have fun, and rubber side down!
"at what point do I say
"at what point do I say upgrade to a new bike?" - You'll know it when you're riding enough and loving it and you feel like the equipment is just holding you back significantly. But I'm the wrong person to ask because I (needlessly) ponder that question way too often. Personally I'd say that if you don't absolutely love your bike(s) it's time to change.
The suspension fork adds weight and if you're riding paved roads and trails is likely unnecessary compared to, say, a carbon fiber fork which will lighten the load while adding some shock dampening. The caveat here again relates to the holistic design of the bike - changing the fork 'rake' (angle) will change the handling characteristics, and in your case the handlebar height is likely a function of fork + suspension so it may drop uncomfortably if you swapped in something like a Nashbar road fork.
I see you're already heading down that long, slippery 'gear-head' slope... :-)
I guess you already have new tires now but if there is one thing I have learnt about tires and commuting then that is to get puncture resistant tires. Myself I am using Armadillos from Specialized. Have not had a single flat since I started using those. Had many before. Lots of debris out there. Also, if you don't already have a rack and panniers I would think of getting that. Makes carrying stuff a breeze.

Sally (to the left) and her friend Banafsheh in a photographer's studio in Marshad. Sally has traveled to Mashad for the fourth time to thank the Imam Reza for helping her getting a divorce. A daughter of a member of the Guardians of the Revolution in Khoramabad, in the Western part of the country, she's about to go to Indonesia for three years to study computer design. Mashad is a holy city because it is home to the huge Reza mausoleum, which draws 20 million pilgrims every year. The fresco behind Sally shows the Imam Reza saving a gazelle from a restless hunter. It is one of the many episodes in the Imam's legendary life. "Reza the patient one, Reza the learned one, Reza the complete one, Reza who rejoices the hearts of the believers, Reza who frightens away the heretics, is, to me, the sweetest of all Imams, the one who speaks to me in my dreams," Sally says.
In Mashad, the holy city that is visited by more then 20 million pilgrims a year, the photo studios that produce souvenir photos are numerous and prosperous. This is a selection of work from one of them.

I operate in the realms of crossmedia design and cross-platform development, pushing design beyond communication. Besides that, I run a website, and you can frequently find me at enigmatic places like Crypto.SE as well as at that social gathering called Twitter.
Oh, and I committed to Area51's Ebooks and Privacy proposals, which indicates that I indeed might not have a classical social life. But as long as I can describe my type of social interaction to be residing somewhere between "modernistic" and "avant-garde", I honestly couldn't care less. ;)

I had so many calls at my home from 1-866-541-2905, never leaving a message and just an unknowned name on the dial. I finally called them and it turns out to be Comcast and I did have a payment past due which I took care of . What a strange business practice to leave no message and be unknown name on the dial. I would appreciate a call with message as a reminder but this practice of repeat calls is harassment and /or punishment, Please see my records I was on the phone yesterday with comcast getting assistance to put a block on this number and the assistant never mentioned a late payment or that the number I was trying to block belong to comcast. Is this a practical business practice.? BTW why did the block I put in place yesterday, not work today? Calling me with a reminder message is more likely to get a payment. And as a customer I would appreciate a polite reminder call. For sure you should identify yourself. Customers deserves respect..

Details of the problem you are having.
I agree that this practice is unacceptable. I have called comcast about my past due bill; however, I have continued to recieve calls with the most recent being at 8:45pm. I don't mind getting calls during the day, but calling this late in the evening from an unknown caller with no message is not a great business practice.
10-24-2011 07:31 PM - edited 10-24-2011 07:36 PM
Same here... They do not leave a message, and call at least twice a day. I finally called them today and they tell me that I have a balance with Comcast. I do not have a balance. I double checked to make sure. So.... the nice lady tells me that I need to contact Comcast and tell them that I do not have a balance or ELSE I will continue getting these ridiculous calls.
I just blocked the number.
Agree with the rest - once is enough i don't need them calling every day more than once a day and especially not leaving any message - although the practice for that is that if they (being that its really a collection call even though they say a friendly reminder) do not make contact with a live person, they can call more than once a day. My problem and I have told them this is I do not like being billed in advance for service i have not received yet!!! Too many times over nearly 20 years I had been promised a credit for an issue that deserved one (an extended outage, etc etc.) and never received it which is my reason for not wanting to pay in advance. I pay every month - yes its late but its after I have gotten my services. And yes due to the economy and lower wages the bill is hard to choke down every month - I am leaning towards removing the phone service and going to a double play or something - the problem with changin now tho is they rope you into having to keep the package for 2years or pay an early termination charge like the cell phones were doing that most have stopped i believe or atleast going down to a 1yr keep - regardless I need to make sure of the package I will change to because if it too is way expensive - and I can't keep up with the payment then I will be penalized for reducing it to one that is manageable. I will say these constant reminders (mind you its right when the bill is considered due also its not when its mid point which is also irritating) are really pushing me to the point of going ahead and lowering my package, removing the phone service and just having basic cable and internet ---- or going to another company altogether.
I agree! This is absolutely ridiculous. Why the calls and then hangup? IF you MUST do this, atleast place a caller ID on your call instead of "Out of Area". That is what I see when another COUNTRY calls in. Why not identify yourself? I do not need this type of abuse. If I am late, I am sorry, I will pay. But PLEASE STOP ANNOYING ME, because it is NOT WORKING.
You are making me (and I am sure OTHERS) angry. Phone abuse is a crime-consider that.
Thank you.
CCCarol states that she has "notified the administrator of your post". (circa August 2011) Merry Xmas !
I doubt any administrator has received any feedback concerning the answer phone / hang-up issue, the inability for Xfinity (our phone / cable / internet provider) to provide their (us) customers with the courtesy of at least a Caller ID when using the Xfinity 866 area code exchange auto-dialer courtesy (collection) call.
Whether delinquent on a bill due to an oversight or inability to pay, Comcast (formerly AT&T Digital) aka Xfinity, aka ____fill in new slick name here next year when we raise your rates again____ , should have the common sense, good business ethics, and moral standards to at least identify themself, leave a message concerning the issue (e.g., why the unknown "866" calls repeatedly a.m., p.m., weekends, and holidays) and allow the people (us) who pay their salaries, have the ability to communicate and make ammends when it is necessary. If we fail to respond by "X" date to a repeated unknown 866 number, Xfinity, will then effect a disruption of service; resulting in customers being required to pay back, current, one month in advance, and of course... a "re-connection fee" before restoring service. Wait a minute... now I get it ! Great easy way to keep shareholders happy; whilst alienating their customer base from their service provider. Smooth corporate marketing angle; and for what ? Failing to communicate properly with their customers ? Maybe the "administrators" will be able to bring this matter up at the water cooler or an upcoming Xfinity corporate picnic, paid for of course, by the Xfinity customers. Fair trade rules should apply. Other than switching to a crappy dish and DSL as an alternative to Xfinity, what are the options ?
Can you say "monopoly" ? Xfinity's ability to jump the stop-gaps of an anti-trust violation, borderline unethical business practices, and the uncanny ability to ignore the customer, other than contacting the customer via stealth phone calls the day after their bill arrives, about a past due amount, leaves me quite unimpressed. Color me "Unknown"; better yet, just refer to me by my nickname... 866 .
Our provider, the people who "listened to our customers and made some changes", should listen up now or get out a checkbook to cover the expense of a class-action. Gee. Did I go on a rant or what ? Booyah !
I note that forum user names "yourekidding" and "annoyedcustomer" are already taken. This alone should be a hint. There is pretty much no way I believe that "Carol" ever fed this feedback up the foodchain.
My phone shows multiple calls on the same day from this number. Yet they cannot be bothered to send me an email (I guess they won't use the gmail address I provided for them). Seriously? How is it effective to call me from a number that does not indicate it is Comcast, and not leave a message? I don't answer calls from unknown numbers (which is now a common practice, at least among GenXers) so an email would be much more effective.
I don't need "caller ID," I need "caller search and destroy."
I am getting rather annoyed at receiving multiple "Friendly Reminders" daliy from the comcast collection department. The calls start at 8:30-8:45 am and continue till 8:30-8:45 pm to a total of 3 to 5 calls per day, yes, my bill is often late but it always gets paid. The thing that gets me is I pay for the xfinity service but I can't use half of the features with my time/warner->comcast cable box and I was told that was because of the service agreement that time/warner had when comcast took over the area and that comcast has to honor it, because of that I am stuck with a cable box that I can't upgrade and nobody can tell when i can. So maybe I should start to harass comcast about my cable box issue the same way they harass me for late payments but i think it would be easier to change to qwest or minneapolis Wi-max and get direct tv.
Yup at it again. called 4 freekin times a day for the last couple days. I just paid my dam bill u happy now xfinity and its still 2 days left of service being billed that i have not yet received so it better not go out for any reason. No messages left, unavailable name just their toll free number - but i recognize it now as to who it is and it generally starts about the day after the bill was due....I know others will say just pay your bill when its due - well 2 reasons for me 1) again I HATE paying for something I have not yet received (they bill a month in advance so my new bill due now is for 1/23-2/21......and 2) It just keeps going up and up and up and they have their packages structured so that trying to reduce the package nets you only about $10-$20 savings so you just say crud never mind leave as it is - sad thing is going down to a double play doesn't even reduce the $200/mo bill that much and the phone service amount on the bundled bill is around $45+ and I don't even want all the features with it but there is no choice to have pots line or maybe just the cid and call block and thats it. at least ma bell had packages like this that you could get, because I always have always will detest call waiting. and stop calling me 4 times a day with your friendly reminders - i really don't need any reminder - i know my bill is due, and i especially don't need called at 8:45pm! oh lordy it says i used a bad word i have to clean up - did you know cr** i s a bad word? well its better than sayin s***
It is absoulutely ridiculous! This practice is still ongoing. I have even requested I be removed from any calling lists. It still happens.
I have complained numerous times. Comcast has absolutely no respect for their customers. Courtesy is not at all practiced. Nothing will be done about it.
Perhaps we should all contact the Better Business Bureau and file a complaint.
Contacting the BBB won't resolve this on-going practice; they'll simply keep a record of the complaint(s) .
Complaints to the FCC would be the only effective step. Comcast/Xfinity having to answer to the FCC as a result of these numerous individual or group complaints, would result in the FCC conducting their own background investigation prior to confronting Comcast.
A slap on the wrist by the FCC generally means... clean up your act based on our recommendations, do so within xx days, then demonstrate compliance. If Comcast subsequently fails to practice the improved standards, and additional complaints on the same issue are received, the FCC could then fine Comcast on a per-incident basis. Since fines = $ , Comcast will finally do something to put a permanent fix into place.
And the user name "overit" has been taken as well. Which bummed me out because I really wanted to use that name. Explains just how I feel right now. They are going to drive so many customers away with this annoying 3rd party bill collecting. Go after the ones that have had their service disconnected. Don't bother the ones that have always paid, yes maybe late, but again, have always paid. If their service is still active, maybe shoot them 1 email reminding...don't call me on my cell phone while I am at work on a Saturday. Especially when I paid 3 days ago. I'm going to check out how much AT&T or Charter costs these days. I like knowing what channels are what....but I'm over dealing with Comcast.
oh yes yes still at it of course. wanted of course the amount + the advance amount for a month of service i have not yet received -----don't think so i actually just found out I have been paying for a package for HD that i don't even have an HDTV nor their HD box....hmmmm REALLY!!? how dishonest is that? My rep I talked with today of course apologized for that issue - but hey he didn't do it so he has to apologize for some other rep s*****ing up or sliding something in on me that i have been paying near 200/mo UGH!! WELL this was last straw tellin me i had till midnight for payment to be in - ok fine so today i have DOWNGRADED that package...and it's because of this practice that has annoyed me for the last time i have been a Comcast customer for 20years! yes 20!!! the new package (double play bundle) is still gonna be high as far as i am concerned but it's an amount I can live with easier I hope, if not well then guess i'll just find someone else to provide internet and forget the tv as well....but for this change - no more phone i don't need any more annoyance calls i pay late because i HATE paying in advance for service i have not received yet because i have never gotten a credit when that service messes up and goes out - rare now days yes but still i don't pay for a meal i am not going to get for a few weeks and i feel the same about the services i pay for.
Just a quick FYI after my original post to this board in December, subsequent (immediately after posting it) follow-up received from a "ramp supervisor" named Mike, and my 90 day add'l post just 11 days ago.
Since this past weekend, continuous incoming calls (unavailable / no name) and no message(s) have been logged through today 3:30pm MT. My first opportunity 15 minutes ago to call them... same old line of ca-ca* and expressions of "courtesy". I explained "courtesy". Told him I will be giving Comcast the same courtesy it has given me.
Great follow up progress Mike! More BS and schmooze pending? For what? Don't bother.
*Use of the common family-acceptable word for doo-doo was flagged and noted as "you used a bad word".
Guess I should go straight to my room. I'll wait by the phone with anticipation of a courteous scolding from an unknown caller.
I've been getting these calls too. They just started this week. I've been a customer for 20 yrs across several states and although there have been times my bill was past due or even temporarily disconnected and I have never received a call until this week. I find it odd that they never leave a message and the number is "unknown". I'm not sure what they think calling and hanging up is going to accomplish. I called the number back and spoke to the typical sub-par CSR named Draylon. Of course he assured me that he would make a notation so I'm 100% this is the last call I will get <insert sarcasm> What I found interesting is that since it was supposed to be a "courtesy" call about my bill, not once did he ever asked when I planned on paying the bill. Wasn't that the purpose of the call?
The only way to stop this is to cancel the comcast service, otherwise Comcast will continue to do what it is best at and it is poor customer service and service overall.
Complaining on the boards or whereever without action is useless.
I have reported this practice to the Better Business Bureau and Donotcall.gov. I have pleaded with Comcast to remove me from auto dialing. Nothing, I still get calls all the time!!!!! Yet I have never had a disconnection.
If I ever again have access to a southern sky I will drop comcast in a heartbeat. I would do it right now if I had any other options. If you know of ANY other provider in Orem I would love to hear about it.
This practice will not change if no one reports it. I encourage you to report this customer harassment as I have done. The more the better. We deserve courtesy and respect in receiving a service that we already pay WAAYY to much money for.
I will do it!! Thanks!!

WILLIAMSTOWN -- Ghanaian musician Bernard Woma told Williamstown Elementary School students on Wednesday they should never worry that their dancing is bad.
"Don't worry," he said. "Bad dancing will never hurt the ground."
On Tuesday and Wednesday, Woma and his seven-piece ensemble acted as artists-in-residence, providing workshops for students in kindergarten through grade six. On Wednesday, students were treated to a school-wide performance demonstrating traditional African music and culture.
Instrumental music teacher Margot Sanger said Woma offered workshops for one day last year, and the positive response led her to reach out to him again.
"The school liked it so much we decided we needed two days," she said.
During the workshops, students learned about traditional African instruments and dance in a hands-on, half-hour workshop.
"I think they like the energy," Sanger said about the performance and workshops. "They get actual guidance for particular moves to make, and love learning the drumming patterns."
An instrument that was a crowd-favorite was the Dagomba talking drum. By squeezing the drum between his arm and side, Woma could alter the pitch of the sound and seemingly make it talk.
The Dagara xylophone, or gyill, features keys hand carved from hardwood and gourds for resonators. When Woma told the auditorium full of students the instrument also uses spider webs, students reacted with gasps of excitement and curiosity. The webs vibrate to make the instrument's unique sound, Woma said.
"And vibration is supposed to go into your body and make you happy," he added.
Throughout the performance, Woma's energy was contagious to the crowd of students. When he asked whether students wanted to dance on stage, their hands immediately shot up into the air.
The performance ended with the stage being packed with children from all grades, dancing to a song Woma called "Shake Your Body."
Sanger said she enjoyed being able to show students professional musicians at work. And the performance introduces children to a type of music they may not hear otherwise, she said.
"I like the window of cultural diversity we don't often get in Western Massachusetts," she said. "It's very genuine, very real. The kids respond to that."
Principal Joelle Brookner said she was thrilled to see children in all grades share a common experience.
"I loved the complete communal joy," she said. "Every child was engaged."
The day was made possible through grants from both the Williamstown Elementary School Endowment and the Mount Greylock Regional School District's central office. Woma and his ensemble also visited Lanesborough Elementary on Wednesday to conduct workshops.

Explore the Amazon Rainforest around the famed Tambopata National Reserve, enjoy the comforts of an exclusive lodge and get closer to nature by camping in the rainforest, spot exotic wildlife by foot and canoe
Located on the Tambopata River in the Peruvian Amazon, our exclusive G Lodge Amazon is comfortable and intimate. Enjoy excursions by expert naturalists to spot wildlife at nearby oxbow lakes and clay licks. Explore by canoe or on dry land trails, swim in the lodge's cool stream, or strap on a harness and rope up to tree platforms for a bird's eye view of the forest. Really experience the Amazon to the fullest by spending two nights camping in the jungle—get even closer to nature!
G Adventures' Classic trips provide meaningful small-group travel experiences to curious travellers eager to interact with the world as it truly is.
Learn moreYou'll be picked up at the Puerto Maldonado airport for your trip upstream to the lodge. After lunch and a chance to settle in, set off for an introductory walk into the "terra firme" forest behind the lodge to see the giant Brazil nut and dipteryx trees. Frequently-seen mammals on this trail include agoutis, pacas, blue-morpho butterflies, trogons, toucans and many other species of birds. After dinner, head out on a night walk to discover the amazing nocturnal creatures.
After breakfast, we will board a boat to head deep into the National Reserve up the river to the Collpa de Guacamayos, the bird and mammal clay licks. Here we hope to observe scarlet macaws and peccaries in separate areas, feeding on the mineral deposits found in the clay. We will set up camp and have the remainder of the afternoon to explore the surrounding trail system of the rainforest before sleeping under the forest canopy.
Rise early today to get to the clay lick before the birds! Witness the sights and sounds of the macaws and parrots feeding on the minerals and salts of the clay. Explore the area with a guide who will aid and advise you as you hike some of the numerous trails.
Return to the lodge and hike to an Oxbow lake rich in bird and aquatic life. A family of giant otters live in the vicinity of the lake and are often observed. At night you will go searching for caiman (alligators) and other nocturnal animals by canoe along the Tambopata River.
A dawn start is required for the canoe trip back to Puerto Maldonado, where you will be rewarded with memorable views of the sun rise over the river. Arrive at Puerto Maldonado for your flight out of the jungle.

Very Comfortable, Excellent Staff, Rooms Clean, Bed AwesomeGenuine Hotels.com guest review
Air conditioner broke in our room and had to move to another room during our stay. We had 2 adults and 3 kids, the hotel would not give us a rollaway bed because they said the room was too small. They did offer a bigger room in order to accomadate us which was very disappointing. The pool had no heat and was freezing cold. Stayed here previously without […] family and had a great stay but this time was not the same. I not sure I would stay here again. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Geat place to stay for Business or Leisure"
Excellent room. I ended up staying in one of their suites and the room couldn't have been any better for the price. They also have an excellent hot breakfast from 6 to 10 am. The only downside at all was there is a LOT of construction in the area, but it didn't really interfere with my business or travel at all.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Loved It!"
Last minute trip to Longview.... Difficult finding a hotel to accomidate our needs. Then the Hampton was found. Customer Service was top notch. They helped with any and all questions. The hot tub was broken during our stay but that wasn't an issue. There was also some construction being done at the hotel on the end where our room was. We still enjoyed […] every minute there. Friendly and helpful staff! We will stay there again and recommend to others. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Conveniently Located"
We stayed here for our friends wedding. Our room was so comfortable (bed especially), the staff was friendly, the breakfast and coffee in the mornings was great. Definitely will be staying here again for another wedding coming up!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Rate Increase"
Booked room for three nights at an average of $109 per night. Told clerk when leaving that I would like to stay another night, no mention of a rate change. $109 was also the rate listed on the Hampton website when I booked but wanted the Hotels.com stay credit. Upon returning that afternoon I was informed that my rate would be $159.00 per night because […] they were sold out. I informed them that was above what my company would reimbuse. No compromise was offered, had to check out and go to another hotel. You are not a quest at this hotel, just $$$. Stay somewhere else that appreciates your business, I wont be staying here again. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
I was disappointed in the fact that I thought I was getting a suite when I made the reservation. When we got to our room it was a regular room. That was the point of paying that much and staying there was for the extra room. Whereas when my brother checked into his room he did have a suite and we paid the same thing for the rooms. It should not be called […] Hampton Suites if they are not all suite rooms. I travel quite a bit and have never had this problem before. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"False answer"
We have stayed here before because of the inside pool. We called in advance to see if the pool was heated and everything working correctly, because we were taking our two grandchildren there for that reason. Age's 5 & 6.

"Good stay."
Had a great stay. Pillows were a bit small. Staff friendly. The hotel's description mentioned bar/lounge, but I think they meant the coffee available 24/7. Bring a pillow & your own booze.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Good Stay for the Money"
We were in town for a friend's party and elected to stay here. Even though we arrived early they rushed to prepare our room and had it ready in under 10 minutes. There was no wait for the front desk and the hotel staff was VERY friendly. Especially Tiffany at the front desk. The only quasi-complaint I had was when you were in the bathroom you could […] clearly hear the party going on in the room next door. But on a really positive note - from our bedroom you couldn't hear a sound from that party. So it didn't hinder our sleep at all. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Great location for longview"
Good rates. The first room our family was given was dirty, the room had not been cleaned or sheets on bed. Had to move from 4th. floor to 2nd. floor. The handle to the pool was very loose causing myself to fall side ways because it swivels side to side. You have to unplug microwave to use coffee pot. The vanity light only worked some times.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We have stayed in lots of hotels in Longview. This was the best by far. I wished the breakfast looked a little more like the pictures on the website but it was still acceptable. The hotel quality is great and the staff were wonderful. I have tried lots of hotels in this area. This place is fresh, clean and well cared for.

We are showing you the Japanese version of our site: would you prefer a different location?
The Women's 100
The Women's 100 is off and rolling. It may seem like a long road leading to the July 7th date, but it will be here before you know it. There have been some questions coming in about the Rapha Women's 100 — What is it? Where do I sign up? What do I win? Well, the truth of the matter is that the only thing that is really worth winning is the chance to unite women in riding 100km or more on July 7th, and any time in between.
The Women's 100 started with the goal of taking 100 women to the very male dominated Etape in the same year as the 100th edition of the Tour de France. It soon became clear that these 100 women could help inspire tens of thousands of other women to ride. Thus the Rapha Women's 100 was born – ride 100km on the 7th July, wherever you are. The 100 women going to the Etape are a mixture of Rapha ambassadors, bloggers and journalists who will write about their adventures and encourage others to get out and ride, especially on the 7th July. We'll also have a number of spaces at the Etape to be won to complete our 100 women, so look out for this in the coming weeks.
As a build up to the big day, we'll be publishing stories and discussions on the Rapha site, from advice on riding in groups, tales from training rides and tips on the kind of nutrition you can enjoy on big rides. There are a number of people that are doing this for the first time and we have enlisted their help in telling of their experiences along the way.
Who To Follow?
Gem Atkinson
Gem continues to be an inspiration in whatever she does. Not only does she feature in recent Rapha photoshoots, but she has become a favourite contributor to this here blog. Today she steps in with a piece about Milan-San Remo and last week she wrote about some of her first riding experiences in The Rapha Women's 100. Gem will be participating in the Etape ride, so follow her on Twitter and Instagram - @gematkinson
Bangs and a Bun (Spikes + Heels)
The blogs of Murianne Carey-Campbell focus on some of the trials and tribulations of training for specific events - Marathons for one and this Etape in particular. They are a "no holds barred" look at the intensive training that goes into a ride like the etape, but also have a humorous side and definitely lean towards the sartorially inclined woman. This lady has style, class an more than enough attitude to get her through the rigors of training needed to complete a long day in the saddle. One great quote from her recent piece Toils of Training "…when it comes down to it, I have to ride it on the day - no one can do that for me." She is still getting her cycling legs under her, but will certainly keep things interesting along the way. Follow Muireann @bangsandabunn
Heidi Swift
The Grit and Glimmer is always a good one to follow. Heidi, who is a longtime contributor here with pieces like this one about favorite local pro racer Tina Brubaker Heidi is great in speaking in that "no holds barred" manner about all things related to Women's Cycling. Heidi is a regular contributor/editor for Peloton and Switchback magazine's and went to Haiti last month to race the MTB Ayiti race. Follow her exploits on instagram and twitter as well - @heidiswift
Instagram has been the best way to see what is going on in all parts of the world as the Rapha Women's 100 starts to ramp up. It is a beautiful and easy way to share photos of training, racing and riding as well as just the minutia of everyday life. Follow these women on Instagram as we build up towards July 7th. They continue to inspire us with their daily photos both on and off the bike.
