Snap- I love the idea of a post ride dinner, however I think we nixed it last time due to everyone getting back from the ride at different times and then wanting to change into clean dry clothes etc.
I'm up for pre or post- but would love somewhere to take a shower if we have a post ride din din.![]()

Teigyr- The Cindy ride is on the 1st Sat in April this time. Yes, you can take your bike case on BART. You should see what people drag on the train when they are going to the airport.![]()

There's even an elevator at each of the stations so you can just wheel your stuff in and out.

Sure would be fun to have you down. If your DH wants to come, he can be part of the support team- i.e. the guys that serve us at the rest stops. Wouldn't that be fun! Just be sure if he comes that he brings a camera. Some of the outfits are really fun!![]()

If you can make it to the pre ride dinner (one of us could probably pick you up at your hotel) then we can plan the STP adventure up your way (plus give you a real California welcome!).

I was looking at last year's pictures and the outfits are great!!! I might need a tiara. As DH was feeling a bit hurt that he couldn't ride, I explained that we would be waited on by MEN. He looked a bit more hurt and said "I wait on you, right?" so I had to explain that this was a GROUP of men. He pretended to look quite shocked. He's good with the pictures, he has gone to the two tri's that I've done and he tries to get pictures of me and the people I know.
This sounds like so much fun! So, I need a case for my bike. I also need to check the vacation schedule at work. Just in case I don't get good days off on the new bid (right now I'm sat-mon but I don't see that continuing just because that would be far too lucky), I might as well delegate that time for vacation.
Pre-ride or post-ride dinners work either way. Thanks for all your help!! Even when I was in that area more, I still get confused as to what is near where.
DH has gone to other TE rides/functions too and he is good with being the token male. I think his friends think he is lucky
Just talked to him on the phone (working on a saturday) and he said he would love to help in whatever way he can. He also offered his services in reassembling bikes if it needs to be done.

A post-ride dinner sounds great to me.
Snap, it would be awesome if you could make the ride.

Teigyr, perhaps we can hook up your DH with my DH for a ride that day.

Teigyr - I registered too! I don't know if I'll be bringing my son or not yet - they didn't reply to my email about having him ride on the tag-a-long. Lots of time to plan it yet though.
I almost ordered a tutu last week when I bought a dance leotard for my niece for Christmas. Guess I should have, huh?![]()
