whew... did the practice talk today. went well, got good suggestions from my group, and they didn't make me cry with things to do before my defense next Thursday![]()
So, as things stand now, it looks like I will be able to join you guys on SaturdayI NEED to get away from my desk if only for a couple of hours! I will give you the final word tomorrow night, but looking good.
I am looking forward to seeing you all and getting a nice ride in! Now off home to relax a bit and eat some dinner....
E.
Make it happen. It sounds like you need a break.

Hmmm, maybe we could have some sort of "ride off" -- kind of like a bake off, but not involving, well, baked goods.
So let's see if I have the gory details right:
Start time: 9am
Start place: Sunol Glen School parking lot
Route: Out & back Up Calaveras to the Wall, with a detour up Welch Creek Rd. for the not-faint-of-Cardio-conditioning
You are correct, madame sandbaggeur !
A few more details:
Sunol Glen School is at the corner of Main St. & Bond St. in Sunol. If you want to mapquest it, the address is 11601 Main Street, Sunol CA 94586.
Portapotties are available at the far end of the Sunol Train Station parking lot, a short jog west from the school, at the corner of Main St. & Kilkare Rd.
A high of 81 is predicted for Sunol tomorrow. There's no place that I know of to get water between Sunol and the far end of Calaveras at Ed Levin Park, so bring an extra water bottle or a camelback if you can. Leebob and I will likely each have an extra bottle of water in our big 'ol saddlebags, just in case. 'cuz we're those guys.
Lunch afterwards in the saloon at Boscos, of course. If PAB is there, we can make it a pre-defense celebration. And if she isn't there, or even if she is, we can also celebrate LeeBob's & my 18th anniversary.![]()

Oh man. I'd forgotten my anniverasry is coming.
What day is yours Jo?

I need spell check at work. Stupid blocking software...
We'll have to have a toast, maybe Melba.![]()

Congratulations Jo and Lee! (And Thom and Veronica!)
I wish I could celebrate with you by riding up a 16% grade, I mean, toasting you all with a pint of beer at Bosco's!
Keep calm and carry on...
