I got an email from the pedalpushers board saying the start location HAS changed...
"The start & finish location of The Cinderella Classic 2007 & EXPO has been changed.
NEW LOCATION: Alameda County Fairgrounds, Pleasanton CA
Photo i.d. is not required.
We will pay the normal $8 parking fee for all Cinderellas.
An explanatory letter was mailed to each Cinderella to-day."
Hopefully you'll get the letter soon!
I live in Vegas so I make my rounds :) I will have to go back and read the thread to find out where and when we are all meeting for dinner. :confused:Quote:

24? Is this a TE record?
trek - it's still Fuzio - right?
Fuzio in Dublin
It's really going to be something to see so many TE ladies in one place!
Then again, it's really going to be expensive to buy the ladies a round!!! :D :eek:
Trek420 - hope it's not too late to add me to the list for dinner? I'll be doing the metric.
As far as I know, yep. I've made reservations for 23, I told them I'll keep them posted if the list becomes larger or much smaller or we change our minds and want to meet in LA or ... that's a big one with me because I used to work in kitchens. When they have to turn down diners and then we don't show....it's bad.Quote:

But the fairgrounds is nearby, I think the route passed it early on years past.
Out of towners, Alameda Fairgrounds Parking lot is unpaved, depending on weather we've had by then bring your cleat covers.
Are we still on for 7pm? (penciling it into my calendar)
I've got a sectional rehearsal that weekend that technically starts on Friday till Sunday but I'm skipping Friday to be with you all :D But, since I'll be singing all weekend, no alcohol for me. :( Oh well. :)
Mel
add me to the list.
alright AG!! I was hoping you were going to make it to the dinner. :D
Anyone riding Friday before the Cinderella?
I'm assuming I'll be at the Hoilday Inn Express too, that's where we stayed last year.. (I'm traveling with a crew from UT...I just hand over my $$ and go where I'm told)
Unless this place is walking distance, I might need to bum a ride.
I'm planning to ride the metric. If I feel really ambitious, I might be in for the extended route. But we'll see how my rear feels after riding down from Sacremento.
Allez, will your UT crew be joining us for dinner? :)
I doubt it. I'll mention it to The Powers That Be...but last year everyone was in bed by 7:00 if I remember correctly...
A couple things:Quote:
Trek420 - hope it's not too late to add me to the list for dinner? I'll be doing the metric.
One of my group of six non-TE friends thinks she won't be riding afterall and her entry is up for grabs. If any of you know someone who could use it, please PM me and I'll make arrangements for the transfer.
Trek, can the rest of us join the ever burgeoning crowd for dinner? At this point there are five of us - five one, Shelley, Pam, Maren, and Lisa. I have also done my share of restaurant work and know how difficult it is to deal with large parties. If you (or Fuzio's) think it would be too big a group, we'll just show up on our own and visit your table.

The fairgrounds are off of Bernal if I recall correctly.
Haven't gotten my letter yet, but we're the home of the Pony Express (really!).
Just mapquest it. It's a bit of a ride from BART, but doable.
Sorry to hear that we lost Camp Parks. Something must have happened with the scheduling. It is a military base, you know!
Not excused from the Doctor- so I'm doing SAG this year.
But, I wouldn't miss pre dinner for anything!!! I'll bring the evidence for all of you to see so you'll know I'm not kidding!
It's good to see you back on the board Nancy. :)

I do love these pre-Cindy dinners...
Y'all made my first trip out here so memorable I had to move to California :D
spazz
Dang, Fuzio's isn't going to know what hit them.
Need I say it.....I'll be in the bar.:D :cool:
Hey Snap! I'll meet ya there since I don't have to worry about riding :eek:
spazz
Where is Fuzio's? I don't bemember...
The BarQuote:

I checked my messages Saturday morning :o "noooooooo it's the 30th :eek:" I had visions of them banning us for canceling etc.
I call them back, get put on hold, reach the manager "Oh, yeah, we know, we have you for the 30th, yeah we knew that, he just said the wrong date"
Here Trek, breathe into this paper bag, it will be fine. Isn't planning these things fun.....:eek: :rolleyes:
Add another Cindy rider to the list- My riding partner Sarah.
Hmm- I got to thinking that it's pretty dark around here since daylight savings time was set earlier this year. I don't recall that Camp Parks has parking lot lights. I'd wager a bet that that's why we all of the sudden had to move! :p

We got in pretty much at dusk last year and if I recall correctly, that parking lot got plenty dark. So me thinks that you might be on to somethin', BG (welcome back, btw!).Quote:

I think it is great that so many women want to join in for dinner, but be careful with the reservations Dita. There always seems to be several last minute no-shows which can be rather embarrassing for the person making the reservation and frustrating for the restaurant who has faithfully held the tables...
looking forward to seeing you all!
True, folks if you know ahead of time that you won't be there please let me know. If you think something may come up, pm me for my cell phone. I'll let Fuzios know the total as it goes up or down. A few different they can add or remove chairs but if they turn down a party of 10 and we don't show it's so hard for them :(Quote:

Lord yes! I was at the Left Bank one night, we ended up being seated in the bar (damn!:rolleyes: ) because they were expecting a huge party. They had well over half the restaurant set up for them. The party never showed. I can't imagine doing that.
Hey ladies,
Just a quick question-do they sell Cinderella jerseys? If so, are they worth purchasing???
I am just curious...and yes...i may want to buy one...:)
C
Don't count on it. They did last year (and it's a very nice one) because it was the 30th Cindy I think. There are t'shirts and you get a patch.
To the best of my knowledge, jerseys are only sold on the anniversary years. Last year was 30 and the jersey was beautiful (but fits weird IMHO and I don't wear it much). They DO sell t-shirts, however, but I've never bought one. I'm not a fan of 100% cotton t's. Normally I just head over to the TE tent to see what's there. :D
BTW, one of the coaches from my old Silicon Valley TNT group - Jody Stowe - designed the Cindy patch again this year.
There will be a test, you'll need to figure out which one is:

Hi,
I've decided to scratch the ride for several reasons. I was really looking forward to the ride but too many things got in the way.
So to all of you please enjoy the dinner and you all have a fun and safe ride.
I will have to miss the dinner too. I was looking forward to meeting you all.
Sincerely,
Shawn
Fewer, but still a fun group, and is this a TE record?

HEY! I'm still riding - just can't make the dinner! I'll be there with bells on for the ride - I'll be wearing my Castelli Shorts with royal blue legs (makes my thighs look gigantic) and my royal blue and white castelli jersey, leg warmers (black), arm warmer (black); pearlizume violet colored vest in the morning; and of course, riding my very bright GIANT TCR with PINK (they call it magenta) fork and front part of the main triangle Carbon Fiber speed machine. I want to meet some of you gals - where shall we meet after the ride?Quote:
