Friday, July 1st

I just read our holiday schedule and 'lo and behold, 'tis a holiday from my regular homage to the paycheck gods.

Anyone have ride plans? Maybe V will want to do Diablo again so she can get her two Diablo rides in before they go off for fun and games. Or wonder what traffic will be like over Cardiac. Anyone?

Since I worked all of this past weekend, I think I deserve to take some time off Friday! I could be convinced to do Diablo, or sumthin.

[SadieKate]

Way cool! What sounds good? Forecast for Davis is 96 and for Concord 90 so I vote for way early. My LCS opens at 6 am; I can be on the road by 6:02.

Diablo is always good but you have ideas for sumthin else?

[Veronica]

How about Morgan Territory?

I was hoping to play hooky that day but circumstances are conspiring against me But let me know what you decide to do, justincase.

[SadieKate]

V and Jo - what will tempt you?

[aka_kim]

I was thinking about Morgan Territory too, if you all are Diabloed out. We could go up MT, then down the Livermore side and up the south side of Diablo to the junction. According to Klimb, it would be about 50 miles and 4600' climbing.

I didn't do the Oakland Hills/Bears ride I'd been hoping to do last weekend, that's another option.

Another option is to re-visit Napa!

[Veronica]

Any of those is interesting to me.

I've PM'd Jo. If she is planning to come I don't want to pick a ride farther away than she wants to drive. I am up for all of the above (well, one of the above but have no druthers).

V - does this mean you're leaning our way? Poor Thom, he's great support crew but it's got to be driving him nuts.

That's funny. I just asked him if he was willing to drive again. He said sure. He's always been super supportive. And if it's only us chicks, he'll really be in heaven.

Thom could be our directeur sportif. Since we don't have headphones he could just yell instructions to us. And there's always the water bottle pass.

A Morgan Territory ride could start at Arbolado or somewhere on the South Gate side (in which case we'd do South Gate while still cool, then go do MT).

A Grizzly ride would start in Orinda. And our old favorite could start on either side...

Just so you know, the one handed-wonder has a tendency to honk the horn inadvertently.

[Veronica]

I'm leaning towards MT and Diablo. from the South.

Although I've never done the Grizzly ride. Shall we flip a coin?

Where's the better food?

I really don't care. You girls decide. Jo has more and more being heaped on her plate so she said it is unlikely she'll make it.
