Road biking would be good so more people can participate.
And you don't have to do it on the hot dry windy flatlands.
Thanks, BZ.

As long as it's not cold and wet and generally reminiscent of a British summer, I can hack windy flatlands. And I can probably convince myself that climbing is good for me if we hit the hills - I hear Z has lots of gears on the back of her bikes for me to use.

Oh, I can vouch for both (1) the hills in the area and (2) the fact that Z has a lot of gears on the back of her road bikes. It's such a great setup that I converted my bike's rear cassette -- man, that thing is as big as a dinner plate! (OK, maybe I exaggerate a little.)

The DirtDiva has landed!
Let's get a ride organized! Saturday might be best for a road ride because DD might be going on a mtb ride Sunday with my neighbors.
So who's interested? Where should we ride (maybe determine that based on who's interested...) Something in the 30 mile range, more or less...
We could do that nice 35 mile Paradise loop in Marin starting in SF at the Sports Basement across the GG bridge and out to Tiburon and back...
Or we could start in Marin and skip the GG bridge looniness (riding back into SF with all the tourists on their rental bikes was one of the most frightening things I have ever done on a bike
)
Or something in the East Bay? Or Peninsula?
Also - anyone have the day off tomorrow (Friday)? I have to be at a client site most of the day in Marin, and I could drop DD off in Marin, (with or without a bike) if anyone's in a position to play a little hooky!Last edited by bikerz; 08-09-2007 at 08:52 AM.
Keep calm and carry on...
