spazzdog, could you pm me the directions bikerz pms you?
i, uh, deleted them.
she did mapquest to 700 Old Canyon Rd. That's what she sent.
Slinke, les toilets son la. (Picture me pointing that-a-ways, with a certain Gallic flair!)
thanks... I just chuckled into a conference call at work... boring meeting. :)Quote:

spazzdog "I'm going to invite my upstairs neighbor, Pierre. If he wants to come, I'll have to drive us rather than me meeting up with Trek420."
spazz, didn't you tell me he's really cute, straight, French, single and bikes?
Lise, how quickly can you and your bike get to CA?
Oui! He is all those things... except single. I believe he has a gal in France. She visits from time to time.
Trek420 I'll call you today/tonight when I know for sure if he's coming with or not. If no, I'll be at your place in am.
**sorry for the slight hijack grrls

Hi Amy - Best bet is to check mapquest directions from your home - I have been using google directions, but then a friend told me google's directions were not as good as mapquest...Quote:

PS Have a margarita, cosmo (Ketel One), lemon drop, or a nice pint of beer for me!
Thanks everyone for coming down/up/over to Fremont for the ride - we had a turnout of 14!

Counter clockwise from front left we have: Mary, Nicole, Amy (Dachshund), Rebecca, Dita (Trek420), Lani (LL_Super_D), Anne (Duck on Wheels), Gena (Spazzdog), Rai Sue, Jobob, Lisa (Winddance), me, and Shannon (Slinkedog). (Special thanks to Lee-Bob for being our designated photographer and sweep!)
This was my pal Rebecca's very first road ride - she did 26 miles in the heat! And this was my other friend Mary's 3rd ride - also a PB for distance! Well done!
I was a warm ride out and back, and VERY WARM on the Nemesis hill :eek:, but a very beautiful ride nonetheless! I got to ride a bit with almost everyone, which was really fun - we sure have a nice bunch of TE-ers here in the Bay Area! It was great to see Slinke and Spazz again, and Snap - you were missed!
Here are a few more shots:
Rai Sue, Amy and Lisa at the end of the trail:

The Bobs really do look adorable. Oh I don't want to play favorites, the rest of you look good too. :) Sounds like a fun day.
Love the pictures!!!! Glad you all had a great time!!

It was great to see all of you again, and meet those of you I haven't met yet. Let's do this again sometime soon!
I missed a great day! Sniff.:(
Next time.
Hey all-
Looks like you had a great time, I know I did on the last one! I am currently in HOT, humid and rainy Houston. Went for my first ride since getting out here a week ago today along the trail on the Bayou behind the apartment complex where I live, and tomorrow a friend and I are going to go and join one of the weekly group rides out west of here in Katy, Texas.....supposed to have some of the best riding in the area out there.
I will be back at the beginning of October, and look forward to riding with all of you again!
E.
snapdragen "Um, jobob - if I might say it.....the pic of you and leebob is adorable.:o"
awwww, do you think lee-bob looks pi**ed that he is not in the group shot? Thanks lee-bob for being photographer.
I had a great time, let's do this again!
I'm beat, dunno if it's the heat. Just back from a party with friends. It's been quite the busy day.
It was great to meet everyone! That was lots of fun, and a wonderful route. Thanks for inviting us, Ann. I got a few pictures.
Lee, Dita, Jobob, Shannon, Gena.

Ducks... I think that's "the hill" in the background.

Riding along the ridge.

The view from the ridge... lots of purdy colors.

I just couldn't get my act together...and expect that the heat would have been a killer for me. Next time! I promise!
What a great ride! It was so nice to see the 'Bobs and Ann again and I was very glad to FINALLY meet Dita and Gena. How great to see so many newer faces from the TE board and to meet some non-board folk, as well! Hopefully they'll become board folk soon!! :)
The trail was lovely and the 3 mile loop was spectacular! I declined the opportunity to climb the "nemesis hill." Maybe when I get some bigger gears in the back!! :rolleyes:
Had lots of fun chatting it up with Gena, Winddance and the 'Bobs. I think Gena and Lee talk almost as much and I do, which is a rare feat. Many thanks to Lee for taking our group shot and to Ann for putting it all together. Thanks to those of you who posted pictures... they are great! Is Duck going to post hers?
Looking forward to the next time out with y'all!
again, great to meet and put faces to the funny names. Thanks Bikerz for putting it all together, Lee for photos and bike-tech support.
Duckless I mean Bike on Wheels uhm Duck on Wheels is on her way back to Norway today, probably either on the airporter now or on the plane.
She posted on the daily ride report thread for July 8th. When she gets back and has a high speed connection I will get protos from her.
Sounds like she had fun I know I did :D
Great ride, great company, great food (but slow service) let's do it again!
I can't believe I actually biked 26 miles. And my butt doesn't even hurt now. Woohoo...
I am officially on the forum. Thanks to all for coming out and making my maiden voyage into the biking world memorable. And a special thanks to my buddy Ann (BikerZ) for organizing said event. I had such a blast. It was a gorgeous day (okay so it did heat up a bit toward the end there), and the trail was beautiful. And it was really great meeting everyone. Although remembering everyone's real names and screen names might take me a while.
So I'm ready for another ride. Oh no! Perhaps the bug has bitten. :D
She's hooked! Another one brought over to the dark side :D
All you need now is a road bike!
Hi there Rebecca ! Nice to see you here.
yeah, I had to peek back at the group photo to make sure it was you :o
- Jo.
RSquare "remembering everyone's real names and screen names might take me a while."
Next time there will be name tags "Hi my name is Trek420" :D ;)
That was fun! it was great to meet y'all. Thanks for posting pics!
