[Veronica]

No can do - it's a 200K brevet. Start time is 7AM.

Hopefully you won't drown in all the precipitation! They are forecasting 3-6 inches of rain down that way. How many changes of clothing are you going to have for this adventure? Thank goodness for Thom!

Looking forward to a writeup in "Adventure Stories"

[Veronica]

Thom is driving me to the start and picking me up, but not doing SAG on this ride - at least that's the current plan. He needs to work on putting in new baseboards.

I've got good raingear, so I should stay reasonably comfortable and with the weather I won't be riding hard, so my gear should breathe okay. I'm just not wild about riding Sir Francis Drake in the rain and that section out and back to the lighthouse with 20 mph crosswinds.

At least you are going north- should be better than going south!

Maybe Thom will have to delay the baseboard venture. I suspect you'll decide that on Saturday AM.

Where do you turn around and come back? ( i.e.- what's the route?)
Anybody else we know going on this one? Jobob???

[Veronica]

Jobob is riding.

The route starts at the Golden Gate, goes through Fairfax and takes Sir Francis Drake out to Olema. Then goes out to the lighthouse and back at Point Reyes, north to Marshal and then south again, back through Nicasio to Fairfax, to the Golden Gate.

Well, actually, we're heading (basically) north/west and then we turn around at Marshall after which we'll be heading south/east.

Right into the wind coming from the southeast.

This is going to be epic.
