Pre Cinderella Ride Dinner April 4th?

[Bike Goddess]

Smiling Cat and I will meet at the bottom of the escalator at Rockridge BART 7:00 ish. We will meet Sarah there as well.

Let's all meet at Oliveto's Cafe- 7:00ish and then decide which to patronize- them or Pasta Pomodoro since they are very near each other.

Looking forward to close encounters!

That should work well. My plan if I have one is I'll get off work at 6, walk briskly to the car and pick up Spazzdog. She's nearby. We'll carpool to Rockridge and find you.

Look for the short round gal, purple ALC shirt, clashing Ibex green jacket, jeans, glasses .... needs a haircut.

You think I can't find my ALC tent mate?

[BikeMomma]

Sounds good, you guys.

Smilingcat (thanks for the PM) - I'm not sure what time I'll be getting to the Dublin area. What time do you think you'll be at the Dublin station, so I have a time to aim for? If I get to the area early enough, perhaps I can meet you there. I haven't had a chance to check the Bart schedule either, OR how much it costs. I'm so behind...

Yeah, I'm the one straggling in late, slow, you'll already have the tent up

[Bike Goddess]

Better bring the dog, too!

Dinner was delish' and so much fun to see familiar faces and meet new ones. Olivetos is a little dark so no pictures this year.

Thank you, BikeGoddess for organizing this. Thank you Olivetos waiters for putting up with 6 crazy women cyclists in the midst of the oh so very classy Rockridge crowd ("who let them in? did they have reservations? did you let them in?" ).

Thank you Spazzdog for keeping the tradition alive.

I know everyone will have a great ride tomorrow. Post pictures. Sorry I can't go, not only have I not trained but .... I gotta find a kitchen counter.

the 'dog and I were thinking that I've never seen a velodrome, or live track racing, I've haven't seen a crit close up in 20 years.

Watch this space for "Trek & Spazzdog day at the races"

We (Sarah and I ) liked Oliveto's but felt a little too expensive and "classy" for such homegrown folks as us. The food was good, but not much of it! Next year, mo betta please!!!!

Sarah remarked that she liked the small group- had a chance to really listen to what everyone said which was quite fun. Spazz was in her usual entertaining mode so we all laughed a lot. This is a great opportunity to see old friends so I hope we continue the tradition.
