I'm up for pretty much anything! I've only been to CA once and spent the entire week doing research, so anything and everything sounds good to me!

Ooh! If you're still in town for Labor Day (Monday), there's a great bike race right across the street from the Ferry Building at Levi Plaza. Details here. I'm racing. Kim Nutt, are you going to race as well?

welcome to CA fishdoc!
Is it a criterium? Those are so much fun to take pictures of and watch of course.Quote:

Yup, it's a crit -- fun, fun, fun. And it's got a tiny little hill so you get to witness real suffering. And a little downhill turn so you get to see death-defying cornering risks (and crashes -- hopefully not me).
I'm racing at 8:00am but there are races all day long. This is one of the most popular races in Northern California (and the only race in SF this season) and the fields are usually pretty big. Lots of pros usually show up as well. Good fun!
The only time I'll be able to get over there will be in the morning or late late afternoon. I'll try - I'd love to see it!
Did we come up with a plan? Date, time, location, anything?
Just asking . . . .
Saturday - Ferry Building in the afternoon
Sunday - Ride up Tam
Monday Morning - watch Velogirl race

Fishdr, what is the timing on Saturday? Do you fly in that day?
I think she flies in late morning. I was planning to pick her up and meet people at the Ferry Building, though now I supposedly have a TNT training run that morning - I will need to see how long that is and may need someone else to pick her up.
For Sunday, I don't know if she was planning to ride up Tam on bikes - I don't know that she will have a bike or, if she borrows on, want to ride up Mt. Tam. I was more thinking driving up the coast, maybe some wine tasting or bakeries. Whatever Fish wants, though.
I swear BART has it in for me. I cannot get the site to load a schedule. I can't even figure out the name of the station. Pittsburg/Bay Pt to a) Embarcadero, b) Motgomery or c) Powell?
Can you tell I never go to San Francisco and never use BART? OK, once when I went to the Amgen Tour this year. This was a long time ago for this public transit pea brain.
Pea Brain figured out that 511.org is a piece of junk and bart.gov is much friendlier.
OK, Embarcadero, right?
My suggestion was just a suggestion. It's how I'd like to spend the weekend. I haven't even run it past the man yet.
It sounds like for sure the Ferry Building on Sat. More people seemed jazzed by that.

Looks like BART has a ton of trains on Saturday to the Embarcadero. Just lemme know when.
Sorry that I can't provide chauffeur service from the airport.
