Fishdr comes to CA!

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?

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!

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.

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.

1:00 sounds good. How many of us are there?

[maillotpois]

How many of us are there?

Looks like:

MP/PP
Snap
BikerZ
SK
Veronica/Thom
Jobob/Leebob
Winddance
Cindysue
Melody
Trek - ?
Dachsund - ?

Anyone else? Anyone NOT coming who's on this list?

My suggestion is to meet right on Market Street in front of the central entrance to the Ferry Plaza.

Are we grazing for lunch immediately or sightseeing and then finding dinner later?

Chow hounds and Veronica's tape worm will be more fun company knowing the calorie management plan.

Sounds great, Fish! Could you include your hotel address too?

I'll meet you at arrivals and then we'll be taking BART to your hotel and from there to the FB. But don't worry FishDr, BART will be faster than driving, and the airport, your hotel and the Ferry Building are all easily accessible on BART. I can help you with your luggage and the intricacies of the BART ticket system...

Get this - CalTrans, in its infinite wisdom, is closing the Bay Bridge eastbound ALL Labor Day weekend , so while driving in would be fine, driving home could take days! (I encourage anyone else coming from the East Bay to take BART.)

Any other BART-riders want to come collect FishDr with me?
