Marin Ride January 6?

Did I hear 25 mile Bay Trail? :)

Take this thread to Cuba :D

Hey all-
I would also be keen on the idea of a shorter ride option. I might be fine for the 50, but I have been off my bike for a while, though have been working out and spinning. But my last long rides were over the summer in Houston, so while hot and windy there wasn't a hill in sight :rolleyes:

Looking forward to seeing you all again!

Good point!

Jo, I responded on your 12/30 ride thread also - this ride for Saturday will be MUCH easier than the 2 Marin rides you guys have done in the last 2 weeks. But... I will show you where the SPT bike path is.... :cool:

Thanks for rounding us up for answers. After reading all your messages, I believe I need more bicycling experience before I ride with you all. And, I still need to get toe warmers for these cooler temps before riding more than a couple of hours. Have a great ride, and some day I will join you. Thanks, again.

Oh, come on Kjay - we're really not scary. Well Jo is... but the rest of us are perfectly normal. Where did I put my axe? Oh yeah, Jo has it...

If there will be a shorter ride, I'm still interested. My back's a little out of whack (that's a medical term), so 30 miles should feel like 100 for me, and take me just as long.

Anyone can turn around in San Anselmo or Fairfax for a shorter ride. You can do 10, 15, 20 miles - whatever!

Oatmeal raisin......

This I have to see. Veronica and a raisin, even one raisin.

We don't call her the Princess for nothing.

I lost track of this loop (holiday stress), is this still the plan. I like the 12:30 start time.

Here's da plan:

saturday 1/6. meet at 12:30, to roll at 1. should be warmer by then.

meet: mill valley middle school. (take hwy 101 to tiburon blvd./e. blithedale - turn west toward mill valley. at 3rd light (camino alto) go LEFT. at next light (sycamore) go LEFT. park at lot on left at end of rd.)

route: 55 miles w/plenty of ways to make shorter or longer. mostly rollers w/ a couple of actual climbs. as my HR is to be below a certain # I go 3 mph on most of the climbs. so there.

food: route takes you by organic ice cream, coffee houses, possibly a bakery or 2.

maps: I will throw something together.

rain: well, if its super nasty we may skip to the champagne part of the ride early.

after ride: stop by my house for champagne and snacks of some sort. (dont get your hopes up on the food. my strength is the beverage part.)

bonus: if anyone does keel over, I will just have been recertified in cpr and may actually remember it's "x" number of compressions to "x" number of breaths, etc....

I would definately be up for the shorter loop option. I am still recovering from a sinus infection, I feel fine, but have very little voice still.

Anyone else from the south bay still thinking about going and want to carpool? if you want me to drive I can put my bike on my roof rack, and have room for one in my trunk with the back seats down. Let me know.

Thom's been eating oatmeal raisin cookies all week. I bake them, I just don't eat them. :D

Me... I've been feasting on peanut butter cup.
