I'll be there for the 30 miler, but not on a Seven! The test bikes were fine for a 5 mile or so test loop, but both were a little too small, handle bars waaaay too narrow, etc. So I'll be there on my usual steed, with visions of Sevens in my head.
Slinke - how excellent that you can come!
RogueDog - you must have missed all the threads that discuss (at length!) my incredibly slow rate of ascent on hills!
Trek - where do we meet exactly and at what time?

Is it too late to sign up? If not, I'd like to join you for the 30-miler.
Is it okay to meet you all at Canada and 92? I am a bit reluctant to ride on the Burlingame streets, but I will if necessary. Don't get me wrong; I do ride streets, but if I can avoid them, I will.
If I can meet you at Canada and 92, approximately what time should I be there?
Thanks!

You don't need to sign up, just show up and go that goes for all of you here.
Once we're off California drive the streets are pretty low traffic.
Drivers are fairly used to bikes there and there will be even more of us than a "normal" VG ride.
If you were to be at 92 (and look for a mix of Velo Girls pink and Amici Veloci red and green) I'm not sure perhaps 10:30 ish?
But then you'd miss the most fun part, the climb up to 92 and ride down.

Hey Trek -
Do you have info on the 50 & 55 mile routes (terrain, etc)? I looked on the Velo Girls site, but there are lots of rides listed and I'm not sure which are the ones they're doing. I'm sorta interested in this. Sounds like fun. But I'm also tempted to just stay close to home, as we've been doing some cool routes in the Sierra lately. Gotta weigh the possibilities.

Sorry to say I've never done them, first half of course is same as ours, then splits off. You should ask Velogirl, she founded the club, bet she knows.
