AG! We need to do Monterey Peninsula again.

[jobob]

See you there !

[SadieKate]

Z... are we pooling?

I just read this without the "L".

We're going to have to keep an eye on you two.

I'm up for a post-ride meal too - but I will need to get cleaned up a bit first, or you all are going to want me to sit at a table way over by myself somewhere (probably outside)! I'll bring some clothes to change into and plenty o' wipes! I'm looking foward to the ride!

[SadieKate]

I suspect if we eat in Monterey, we'll all be icky. If we eat in Salinas after hotel check-in time, there is our room at the Residence Inn. Bring an extra towel.

I dunno any other details other than picking up Kim, the ride time and the hotel. That much has already overloaded my pea brain.

Hee hee!! I guess Ann and I are now the officially-designated troublemakers. I'm totally down with that. Ann?

[bikerz]

Trouble is my middle name!

[dachshund]

OK, I'll be there. I finally hemmed & hawed about it enough. I just have to figure out how long the drive will take from 680... 2.5 hours? I'll stare at the map.

[SadieKate]

My navigator, the SDM, is allowing 2 hours from the Pleasant Hill BART station.

[dachshund]

Excellent! Thanks!

For what it's worth, restaurant listings in Marina...

That's what I'm allowing, but who knows what it will actually take. I have been late before (and also wrong) you know ... I haven't looked at Mapquest yet, but I seem to remember it was about a 100 mile drive from Concord.

I'm still wavering. I ran into Z on BART, and she's done a fairly good job of convincing me. It's more a question of, "Can I get out of bed that early on Saturday morning?"

Are there directions posted anywhere?

Bikerz can be very persuasive! I think you're the last "maybe" on the fence. What's it going to take to talk you into this? I hope you can make it!

Have a wonderful time everyone! I will miss you!

[bikerz]

Sorry you can't join us Cindy - I guess you're not a tough as I thought! Sure, you can ride 46 miles in 110 degrees with a broken collarbone without a sling, but once you get a sling on, you just can't hack it!

And I just sent Windance what I hope is a VERY persuasive email ... complete with subliminal messages. So we'll see!

[Adventure Girl]

Satruday there are 2 big events that may cause some traffic problems. The San Jose Grand Prix is in San Jose. And the Garlic Festival is in Gilroy. Both will add a "few" cars to the road. Be prepared.
