Cinderella

Hello group...

I'm pretty sure I can assume I'm in, as well. My check cleared on Monday, and I've been in email contact with the organizers, which gives me confirmation enough without the sacred card.

As I have a 2-2.5 (3??) hour drive to get there, I've made reservations at the Holiday Inn Express for Friday night. I'm driving up straight after work (might even leave early!) - stop at home to kiss the kids and hubby, load the bike and gear, and I'm off!

If anyone else is staying at the hotel, I thought it might be fun to get together??? Coffee? Any of you locals know if there is a Starbucks nearby? Any good pasta/Italian joints nearby too?

Any tips from the Cinderella Alums would be great for this newbie!

Hey Bikemomma, a group of us are planning on dinner friday night at Bruno's in Pleasanton. I'll post more closer to the Cindy, you are welcome to join us

Hi BM -

I'm staying with a friend at the Holiday Inn Express; and a bunch of her friends from a Yuba City-area club (don't remember the name at the moment) have booked rooms there too.

Don't know my schedule at the moment but we're bound to cross paths, we can work something out as the day nears, and there's the dinner Janet mentioned.

- Jo.

Just a quick "Thanks!" to snapdragon for handling the restaurant get-together.

I'm SOOOOO looking forward to meeting all y'all!

April 1 at Bruno's in Pleasanton - Pre Cinderella ride. More info to follow when we are closer to the ride date.

Thanks Snap & Jo! I checked out the map, and Bruno's doesn't look too far from the hotel (on Main St, is that the one??) - and it's Italian! Guess we'll figure out a meet time a little bit closer to the day...

But just for preliminarily planning's sake, it looks like a 2 hour drive for me (2.5hr allowing for friday rush hour traffic), so it's a must that I leave work early, especially if I'm going to meet you ladies for dinner at a decent hour. If I leave work no later than 3pm, I could hopefully hit the freeway for Dublin by maybe 3:45. That means check-in by perhaps 6pm if I have a smooth trip, and after unloading the bike, gear, & necessities, I could probably make, say, a 6:30/7pm dinner time? What time I leave work really depends on how early everyone wants to meet. My employer is pretty understanding, and as I "shouldn't" have any pressing friday deadlines that week, I could probably bump the departure time to a bit earlier, if need be.

I am sooo looking forward to this! And I'm pleased to hear that perhaps this won't be my first and only Cindy, that the rumors of this being the last one are unfounded.
