South Bay Ride on 09/23/06

[melissam]

Rogue,

Well, if you show up, I'd still be happy to ride with you. It certainly wouldn't spoil my fun, and we could meet up with the other TE'ers afterwards for libations and more fun.

Trek,

How to recognize me? Hmmm. I'm short and have a small bike, and I'm mean, especially before 10am. There, that about covers it. Or I guess I could wear a carnation on my jersey or something.

Working backwards any suggestions on places to eat? There seem to be lots of options in Burlingame.

Well, I might be the only person who knows what everyone looks like (except roguedog). I'm pretty sure RD could identify us - a group of friendly, easy-going cyclists!

And Melissa - you talk the "mean" talk, but I haven't seen it yet, for all the threats! Maybe you get it out of your system on the freeway!

I'll be happy to attempt any distance - all rides are fun for me (especially if they don't involve Pig Farm Hill!).

Slinke - you can totally miss one soccer game - just put a little extra cash in the therapy account for Jonathan to use later!

RD - you should definitely join us - we'll have a great time!

Me me me!

Hmm, might show up if I can finish my training run early enough. Hehe, you guys might be going too fast for me tho, haven't really been on a bike regularly since Lifecycle.

[cindysue]

But what's this I hear about you leaving the Bay Area?!

nothing to report yet, but it's a possibility. I'll keep y'all posted.........

[mountainpuddles]

I can't make it this time. I am flying to Germany for my brother in laws wedding and stopping in London to visit a pal. I will return on the 3rd of October, so then I will be riding just about anywhere and everywhere in the Bay Area. B

Post-ride, I'd recommend Steelhead Brewery. They have a nice patio out back so you can sit outside and you can park your bikes right there too. Good salads, decent burgers, pasta & fish and beer! ...

What VG said. Excellent beer there.

What VG said. Excellent beer there.

I'd like to make a motion that we go to the Steelhead Brewery after the 9/23 ride! Can I get a second?

[Trek420]

I second it. Any objections?

[bikerz]

I third it (if required)...

I have a timing question - I have to be back up in the East Bay (El Sobrante) by 4, showered and in normal clothes. Do we have a group consensus on which route, what time, etc.? I'd love to join the post-ride libations (isn't that pretty much the whole point of riding? ) , but if I only have time for a ride, that's OK too!

[Trek420]

My experience is doing the 30 miles were back 1'ish?

[slinkedog]

I have the green light to come to this ride!! I'm looking forward to seeing you all there. I just haven't ridden my bike in almost a month!!

[Trek420]
