Business travels to Walnut Creek- Bike Shops w rentals

I second Cindy's Va de Vi recommendation - it's very good!

And let us know the dates you'll be here for rides - there are plenty of rides without hills, and plenty of us here on TE who'd be happy to ride with you!

I was holding off on posting exact dates, pending the whim of client preferences. But as of today I'm comfortable with the fact that they're commiting to 6/20-6/26. I'll probably only be able to ride either that Saturday or Sunday..

I'm ok with some hills (I would consider myself to be a decent "club" rider, can hold pace line etc) but CA hills are a bit different than rollling hills of CT; so that was my only concern.

Greatly appreciate food recs too! It's been a couple yrs since I've been in the area and assume it's just like here in that, you find a great place that you love, and before you know it the owners get tired of the restaurant biz and retire to Maine to run a B&B.

You gals are awesome-- hope this works out!
If anyone is heading out here please pm, so the favor can be returned...
We've got a few gals only rides ( all skill levels- racers to newbies) and love to spread the good word...

I'll be around Sat. (leaving Sunday for Colorado). Please pm me if you would like to ride. Friday early eve, late afternoon might work, too, depending on your schedule.
I also like VadiVi in Walnut Creek. Hope things work out. Be prepared for warm weather!

Hey-
Count me in for a ride Sat or Sunday while you are here. I will be ready to get out and ride as I will have defended my PhD the week before, graduated, and finished our consortium sponsors meeting, whew.. maybe I will just want to sleep No, a ride will be great. There are also some great rides over on the peninsula that will be a bit cooler than over in Walnut Creek if someone is willing to drive over with you and what ever bike you find.

Looking forward to it.
