Diablo - May 13

[SadieKate]

Since you girls hijacked my Napa thread I figured I better just start one on this Friday's ride.

Bubba and I are in. Whatever time makes yawl happy. Just let us know when and where.

Yellow, should I reserve your seat in the back of the bike bus? Do you want to go down early and do anything? We've got the whole entire (better be) sunny day.

[yellow]

Reserve my seat.

So if we're converging at 4:00, then what time do I need to be at the bus station?

And since I have no idea what's what over in that part of the world, I leave it to others to work out the details.

Given that I'm planning on doing this now, I'm not sure I want to move Slug to Saturday since I'll need Saturday to prepare for Sunday. I'' give it until tomorrow, when I'll check the weather again.

Sooooooooooo many places to ride.

Yellow,

V and Fluffy have also reserved seats with a pick-up time in Antioch at 3 pm. Thom will meet us at the confluence of . . . whatever. No one has made a decision yet. How about Arbolado to cut down on riding with Friday afternoon commuters?

We're thinking a bit of din-din some place after but we won't keep you out too late.

How about we plan to leave Davis at 2 and we'll leisurely go the scenic way down 113.

[Veronica]

T will have Fluffy already. So it will be just me.

Arbolado at 4. I'll be there. And I want to hear what's going on with our AV jerseys. Wah, such a long wait until they're done.

[cindysue]

I'll be at Arbolado at 4pm, unless my final project gets the better of me.

I'm looking forward to din din and chit chat about gears

sniff, sniff. snap wants to whine her way up, but darnnit - I've got plans to go to Benihana's with a bunch of drunken county employees that day....

Perhaps I should start a separate thread, but here goes for now. I tried on a bunch of Terry jerseys which the Voler reps thought would be good models. They had a friend over (HillSlug - this was Linda of Linda and Rob of Team in Training) who is also built like us more avg folk (as opposed to a 0% body fat racer chick). These 2 jerseys fit beautifully and rose to the top of the heap for fit and length. They hope that in a month they'll have prototypes for us to try on.

Friday I go back to work with the Voler Rep on the artwork, so I hope I have a rough handdrawn sketch this weekend, but I really don't have a clue how all this works yet. We concentrated on jersey fit right now. Problem is that now that I tried on the Velocity jersey, I want one!!!!

Aaaa, tell 'em you've been offered a better opportunity.

And...I'm an employee of a different county and could possibly be drunken at the post ride dinner.

So isn't that consistent?

[SadieKate]

It is simply stunning up here but what is Diablo like? Is Bubba going to have a meltdown?

Maybe we should load some ice in CindySue's trailer.

[aka_kim]

It is warm right now -- mid to upper 70s. Temp at the summit is 64.

We may all have a meltdown, since none of us is used to the heat. If CindySue carries the ice, and Veronica the drinks, we should be fine.

[SadieKate]

Oh, good. It's 80 in Davis and still going up.

V, I'd like a Sapphire & Tonic please, heavy on the lime. CindySue, I'll bring the icechest for you.

[Veronica]

Sorry girls I left the big bag at home.

Durn, might just have to keep that ever so-bootiful Top Hat t-shirt.
