Deanna, Sorry that you'll miss the dinner. Say "hi Trek" when you pass me on the route. You ride a Raleigh, right??? Registration for this ride is a bit of a zoo. We skipped the whole section of pre-Cindy threads where we rant about that. How could we forget?

I'll commit to wearing AV gear, even if the weather's good I'll be in tights and I'll be on the Mondonico so you can spot me from afar

Like you I'll see how I feel at the cut off.

Between missed spin classes, bad weather I feel up for the metric and hopefully on track to where I should be in June

But longer harder Cindy I don't know.

X and out of towners: Welcome to CA. If you don't like the weather wait 15 minutes. Dress in layors. Be prepared for headwind, don't linger at lunch because right outa the gate you'll hit headwinds so you don't want to be cold.

I'll be in my usual vest/arm skins/s.s. jersey combo unless it looks like rain then a light Craft jacket will do. My mistake last year was bringing a heavier Goretex jacket, it'd warm up and I'd be over heated or no good way to store it then just when I got that figured out...BOOM hail and wind .... I want something I can just zip up or down.

Dinner. We went to Fuzios the year before last. Italian, decent vegetarian selections, full bar, near the Cindy area for out of towners

whadya think?
