2nd annual Cinderella pre-ride carb load dinner

[Bike Goddess]

Actually drinking the night before a ride is NOT a good idea. Alcohol dehydrates you. We should be hydrating ladies! Let's drink AFTER the ride!!!!

I'd be more than happy to have a post-ride libation with anyone who is patient enought to wait for me to finish.

So what time will pre-ride carb dinner be? I may also want to catch a benefit in Santa Rosa -- for a peace activist out-of-work after a car accident. Nina Gerber will be singing. But if that's evening I'll just have to send my regrets and a check. Gotta get down to Hayward by evening anyway, plan to spend the nite at Trek420's so as to make it to the Cindy on time. If that's OK with you, Trek?

of course! Again, what's your usual pre-epic hike/orienteer/cc-ski breakfast?

Oatmeal. But now that I'm on a low-fibre diet, I guess cream of wheat. I can bring my own if it's not something you want on hand. Otherwise, the breakfast of Vikings is bread with cheese and/or jam.

fiber is good for you. Is this one of those crazy diets that is supposed to make you lose weight faster than say cutting excess calories and exercising more?

nah, not a crazy diet, or fad, Bikeless has to go low fiber for medical reasons.

speaking of tents...is TE going to have a tent there this year? Admin? Anyone?

Nina Gerber will be singing.

This is my first visit to this site and my first post to the board. I couldn't pass up a Nina Gerber reference!
She rocks doesn't she? Where's she playing??

I don't know yet. A friend in Sebastopol is helping set up the benefit, so maybe there. The benefit is for some folks who live out in Bodega, though. Anyways, somewhere in west Sonoma county.

Oh, and Slinkedog? I bet you finish before me. Wait for me and go for a drink after? If I actually finish, I'll want to celebrate.

And you don't have to go far for the celebratory drink - they usually open the bar at Camp Parks.

yes this is true - brilliant snap! Let's all meet at the camp parks bar!

and don't forget to stop by the LUNA tent and say hi. hmmm, maybe I'll stock lemon drop martinis behind the lunabars.....

Sounds good! Maybe we can just stay together the whole ride and finish together. I'm slow as molasses in January. I'm so good at getting dropped, I've made it an art form. Just FYI, there are a lot of nice calves in the cycling community out here in CA.

sounds like a plan

"Just FYI, there are a lot of nice calves in the cycling community out here in CA. "

ooh, forgot about the calves, yet another reason to like the Cindy. Now thinking about costume.
