I'd be very open to something like that. DH and I have already toyed with the Bay Area as a vacation destination. Ideally, it would be something we could combine. Not that I would invite him to a TE gathering; he could happily amuse himself without me I would think. Otherwise, it might be something I could budget to do just by myself, especially since I have more vacation time than he does.
So, count me in as a definite maybe, especially if I can rent or borrow a set of wheels while I'm out there. Flying with a bike is just so cost prohibitive anymore.

Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.

You don't have to leave DH behind. Thom gets dragged to every TE thing I go to. He's generally well behaved and seems well liked by the other TE'ers.

Definitely count me in. I've been dying to ride in the Bay Area since I started riding!
Whether or not my H would join us would depend on timing and goat sitting.
And I would likely drive down, so I *could* be persuaded to bring extra bikes for those short people like me who might need them.

Great! He seemed excited when I mentioned the possibility. I assume there are bike rentals available in the area. He rides a 59 or 60 cm bike. We had good luck with our rentals in Utah, so I'm not overly worried about that part of it--especially if GLC brings a bike for me! DH said she has to bring a goad baby, too!!!

Although I've met a few Bay Area TE'ers, I've never had the opportunity to ride with any. Count me in. Sounds like a lot of fun.

I'm not in the Bay Area but I am in the Napa area most of the week, so I could be persuaded to come out that way...

I would love to come "down the hill" and join you guys. I would need at least 6 weeks advance notice in order to get the time off of work.

The Bobs (jobob and her DH LeeBob) will be present & correct. Especially if there's a bakery involved.
