Fishdr comes to CA!

[snapdragen]

Me too! Me too!

Ferry Building sounds fun, but I'll go with the group. Dr. Fish? What do you think you'd like to do?

[DrBee]

I'm up for pretty much anything! I've only been to CA once and spent the entire week doing research, so anything and everything sounds good to me!

Ooh! If you're still in town for Labor Day (Monday), there's a great bike race right across the street from the Ferry Building at Levi Plaza. Details here. I'm racing. Kim Nutt, are you going to race as well?

Is it a criterium? Those are so much fun to take pictures of and watch of course.

Monday is pretty full for me in the afternoon - when are you racing?

[cindysue]

count me in the festivities

[velogirl]

Yup, it's a crit -- fun, fun, fun. And it's got a tiny little hill so you get to witness real suffering. And a little downhill turn so you get to see death-defying cornering risks (and crashes -- hopefully not me).

I'm racing at 8:00am but there are races all day long. This is one of the most popular races in Northern California (and the only race in SF this season) and the fields are usually pretty big. Lots of pros usually show up as well. Good fun!

[DrBee]

The only time I'll be able to get over there will be in the morning or late late afternoon. I'll try - I'd love to see it!

Hmmm....I dunno! A possibility for the setting, if nothing else. I'm off work that day, but I'd need to find a sitter for the kids, since daycare will probably be closed.

So how small is that "small hill" in the course description? In SF, small hills are maybe not long necessarily, but steep, steep, steep! Have you done this one before?

I haven't raced the Giro before, but I've been there every year since 2002 coaching racers. You know me (and my lack of climbing ability) -- I'm doing it. It's a power hill -- one block long and not steep at all.

I'll see you there, Kim!

[DrBee]

Wow - I'll see y'all in 6 days! I can't wait! Hopefully we'll be celebrating my new job! BikerZ - I'll PM you my flight info tomorrow (from work). I don't have it here at home.

[maillotpois]

Yay! This will be fun! I'm thinking we should all meet at the Ferry Plaza around 1 - does that sound good? I'm thinking Fish will want to check in an unload her bag(s), etc.
