We'd prefer the 5th as Thom will probably be heading to Melbourne the 6th or 7th. And I don't get to go.He'll be gone for 4 weeks.

Allrighty then, the 5th it is
Since no one else expressed a preference for Saturday vs. Sunday, and it's a toss for me, we'll have the ride on Saturday Nov. 5.
It just wouldn't be the same without HRH and the Prince Consort, would it?
Mark your calendars, line up the babysitters, think up excuses for the in-laws ...
Details to follow.

here's a photo essay on the ride up Hamilton
http://www.chainreaction.com/mthamilton.htm
" Very few riders would need a triple crankset on this ride for its grade, since it never gets very steep."
[ jobob's editorial comment: oh, bite moi !
]
"On the other hand, due to its length it can wear you down, so lower gears might give you a chance to rest. But there's nothing as steep as the nastier sections of Page Mill, or even Old La Honda for that matter. It's just plain long! "

Melbourne can be lots of fun.
What does Thom do for Lonely Planet? Has he worked for them for long?
(Sorry to seem nosy just find it interesting what other people do).

He's the business systems analyst. Which I swear doesn't sound like a real job.
I liked it much better when he was Head Computer Geek. His previous company was acquired last June - that's why we got to spend our summer gallivanting. He started with Lonely Planet Sept. 1.

I hope he is enjoying his new job and company. A trip to Melbourne for a month is not a bad start. Perhaps Thom can do some shopping for you and bring back some summer gear for next season.

Hi gang - well, I've signed up for the Giro d'Vino metric centruy in Stockton for Sunday 11/6, so I won't be "joining" you for the Mt. Ham ride (I say "joining", because I doubt I would have you all in sight for very long once the climbing started!) Have a great time! Hopefully I can tag along on the next TE GHCP ride.
