No one at all!!!

Sorry you can't join us Snap.

For those folks wanting to do a shorter ride - there seem to be plenty of you. I will have maps, and we can talk at the ride start about what the various turn around options are. Do not be put off by the distance of this ride, because you can make it your own.

[Deanna]

I think I can make it then.

Edited to ask: Should I bring anything to go with the champagne?

[maillotpois]

Well, I have crackers, and I think someone may bring some cheese. I may have more cheese. If you can think of something simple and snacky - maybe salty - that would be great. No worries, though - we're mostly about the beverage!

I'm going to the Farmer's Market in the morning to see what I can find. I'm hoping the aubergine pesto people with be there. Maybe some satsumas? Dates? Pistachios? This time of year the various growers start taking vacation. Don't they know we have to eat 365 days a year?

[maillotpois]

Vacationing farmers - The nerve!

I have dozens of satsumas. (On the subject of citrus, I decided that given the later start of the ride the champagne should be straight and not mimosa form. Executive decision. If anyone wants a mimosa, BYOjuice.)

Anything you see that looks good would be fun.

this sounds so fun: can i come too?
i've lurked around a couple times and remembered you'd planned this ride. i got the biker bug last spring and this year hope to train up and do a week long ride in summer. so i'd love to meet y'all tomorrow. and bring my girlfriend with me too, from the east bay. we're up for the shorter ride, maybe more, will see how much stamina tomorrow brings. i'm a food bar junkie, will bring a bunch of my holdings to share!
