Mt. Hamilton on Saturday Nov. 5

I agree with Cindy - I would think it'll be smooth sailing on Saturday morning.

Thanks, we'll attempt to hold the map right side up this time.

Lee & I went on a recon. mission today to find a good place to get together after our ride, but we couldn't find anyplace in the immediate vicinity of our start location that we thought was worth going to.

Since it seems most of you are coming from north of San Jose, I thought we could get together at a really good pizza place which is just off 680 about 12 miles north of the Alum Rock exit - it's pretty much on the way home for most of us. And those who might be coming from points south, I hope you won't mind the detour.

Mission Pizza is at 1572 Washington Blvd. in Fremont.

There's a good selection for meat-eaters and veg's alike, and their mini-pizzas are pretty substantial. They also have a decent salad bar, and lots of excellent beers on tap (in case Robb might like to join us...)

To get there from our start/finish location:
Head back down Alum Rock Ave. and get onto 680 North
Drive north ~12 miles, and take the Washington Blvd. exit
At the end of the ramp, take a left onto Washington Blvd.
Take an almost immediate right (at the sign for the veterinarian) into the Ohlone Center strip mall.
Take a left as you enter the mall parking lot. Mission Pizza is about halfway up the length of the mall.

Hope you can make it !

Yumm, peeezzzzaaaa!

You all remember this from our May conversation about riding Mt. Hamilton?

I just got home from dinner but I forgot to go to Blockbuster because Bubba got all wound-up over dinner. He actually proposed that we go for a 100,000 ft climbing goal for the year. So, all thoughts of movies went out of my head.

. . . you girls have turned my hubby into a monster. I can't believe HE raised the topic.

A couple more just for good measure.

Well, the Bubbameister is at 97,900 feet as of today. He will be attaining his goal with you gals on part 3 of the Trifecta. Seems only fitting.

sunny and high 60's for our Saturday ride. Are we all still game?

[jobob]

but of course

Lee was just remarking how it looks like I managed to pick the one good day for the immediate future.

See, you are Tour Guide Magnifique! You can even arrange the weather.

Just spoke with Andrew. We're picking him up at 8 and will zoom as fast as the Bus can go.
