– Our first annual NBG Tour de Davis takes place this year on Saturday June 26 at 8AM. It will take in a lot of the highlights you can now find at our Davis Bike Attractions Ma<\/a>p<\/strong> and if you rode <\/span><\/span>Bike Party Davis<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong> the night before, let you see what the darkness kept hidden. Toward that end, the\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Hallmark Inn at UC Davi<\/strong><\/a>s<\/span><\/span><\/span> is running an NBG discounted room rate that will let you stay in luxury as you see Davis both days \u00a0from a bicycle seat!<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I have been the subject of a lot of film and video work over the last few decades. Sinead’s production, which she did as a class project for UC Davis, is one of the best such pieces I have ever been a part of. It quite readily communicates the hard work and many months she pumped into it. THX Sinead. This is truly an honor to be a part of!!<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
