First Annual Bay Area VS Ride

[nerdwin]

what I really want to know ....is that rapha stowaway worth it??

Yes. It is.

[Watoni]

Honestly, it sounds as if the Bay Area ride in Woodside might be deferred. I am happy to play my part in hosting/leading, but many cannot make it.

As I said, if not this ride then I will do Sonoma. If we have a head count I will meet you all in the parking lot of the Woodside School at 7:00 am. Otherwise, I will be heading out at 7:00/7:30 am from Occidental (park near Howard's Station Cafe)

I won't know what I can do until tomorrow afternoon =/

If there's interest I bet I'll be there...probably w/ Nerdwin as he'll be drinking with me the night before anyway...just don't expect great things. Turning 42 is hard work.

Understood ... I have been have a few myself.

I can decide somewhat last minute but will make a call tonight

You can count me in for the morning. Have to be back home by 10:30 so might not make the entire loop. Looking forward to it.

[Watoni]

That is the advantage of doing a route over Kings/OLH first. That way folks can get home early if we start by 7:00 am, and then anyone who wants to head to the coast can do so thereafter and do a nice long loop

[BryanF]

Great. I have clearance from The Boss. Not sure I'll be able to make the entire loop, but will see pending hangover analysis.

Looking forward to it....will check back here before going to bed to confirm start time/location, etc. FYI, I have a white helmet, silver disco shoes and might have a light blue birthday jersey on. Failing that, look for the 42 year old dude with a little gut and bleary looking eyes....

Where on Canada are we meeting? At the end near 92 or the next exit down (forget the name...nearer to Filoli)?

Up a few posts, Watoni suggested "I will meet you all in the parking lot of the Woodside School at 7:00 am. " That works for me. Take the Rt. 84/Woodside exit from 280 and go west past the stores a bit.

Yes, they are cracking down on parking on the road other than during school pick-up/drop-off; however, you can park in the school lot on weekends all day (or at town hall, but the school is easier to find I feel).

I don't have enough parking at our little rented cottage but I am happy to provide a caffeine fix before we roll out (we can ride to our place, get coffee, roll out Tripp Road to Kings). We can decide from the lot.

[nerdwin]

Sounds like it's on. I will arrive caffinated.

I'm in. Anyone able to pick me up in the city?

[onetwentyeight]

I am confused. Definitive date, start time, and location?

Sorry. I drive a Smart car. Just enough room for me, the bike, my 8" cherry pie, and coffee.

Great. I am drinking red after a 15 hour work day and getting ready for tomorrow ....

[anomaly]

Annnnd I woke up too late. Sorry guys, next time. Apparently waking up at 2:30 to go ride the Ebbetts Century last weekend made my body say hell no to waking up before 6 AM to be on a bike.

[gkk]

Thanks for a good ride guys, it was a pleasure to meet all of you. Hope we can do it again soon. See you at the 'cross races!

Behold, my lousy phone-cam skillz:
