No worries - I'll get the T-shirt first, then we can discuss the details.
I still have that card you sent me the last time, I get a chuckle every time I see it.

OK, one week and counting! What is the dinner plan for the night before? I don't know the area at all, so suggestions will be more than welcome!
E.
I can't recommend any place for dinner - since I usually solo'd it I stuck close to the hotel in the past. That means Applebee's. :rolleyes:
But this might help:

Sorry I'm going to miss this, Holstein is my favorite ride.
There are quite a few good restaurants in Petaluma. I used to live there, and the number has grown since I moved, but some reliable favorites are Dempsey's Alehouse (not just brewpub grub!), the New Yorker Pizza (for the thin crust fans), Old Chicago Pizza (for the thick crust with 3 lbs of cheese fans) and Volpi's (pasta and they have a former speakeasy in the back).
Mooo.
In light of my AT's (see Marin Century thread if you really want to know) and overall laziness, plus the fact we have a houseguest, we're doing the metric only. I have to ride with DH and the butcher (my dermatologist/our riding friend who's super fast on the hills). Should be interesting. :rolleyes: I have to ride the Grizzly Century with them in October as well. Oy!
Im doing the metric too so I might see you guys in a blur speeding past me.
Hmm I hoping all will be well at my house by then. I have two home sick and missing the first day back at school with stomach flu.:(
Hey bikerz are you still coming to this ride???
School started already?? Lucky you - except for the stomach flu part. :p
I will look for you. I think we're starting early, around 7. I want to get done early so I can spend time with my friend who's staying with us. The metric route is pretty flat/rollery til the very end, which does Wilson and Marshall, I believe. (We just did the metric route as a training/taper ride for DR). It's a fun route.
The course sounds cool I will just ignore the comment "til the very end".Quote:

The 2 climbs are not bad at all. And the scenery is fantastic. As are the cows.
Moo!!!Quote:

It'll be a little browner now.
Or Red Bull, dark chocolate, No-Doz ...Quote:

Oh, be prepared for a chilly start. Last year I was such a cold wimp I wore arm warmers, knee warmers, head band and long fingered gloves for most of the ride. And I'm bringing it all again this weekend. :o
Does anyone know anything about the century ride route? :confused:
Looks like I'm the only one who is going to do the century, but since I usually ride alone anyways, I don't mind.
I'm sure you all will keep LeeBob company on the metric. :)
Thanks for the heads up Kim. Its been pretty hot up here so I would not have thought to bring my woolies.:)Quote:

Deanna, every restaurant you've recommended to us in the past has been great - thank you so much !Quote:
