Thanks, knowing that there is a point I can change my mind helps.

I have to get some hills in!!! By this time last year, the girls had talked me into riding Diablo and Placerville stuff several times.

I know, I know. Hills on mtbikes don't phase me. On the road is another story. Now, I'm just working on re-writing the story so they match.

You can ride with me any weekend SK.

Looking at this website brought back a memory of what probably was this ride from probably the late 80s--could that be? I recall going with a friend who was a serious rider, and I had my--this is the truth--my old very non fancy "girl's" bike. I was of course younger then, so I managed the first 40 miles (up to lunch) with just sheer strength from winter tele skiing and hiking in the Sierra. I recall that it was really beautiful, especially early the morning, going past the wineries and all of the flowers.

If I can get the time off, I'm also thinking of doing the double metric. The guys in our club always do that route as they too say the beauty is worth the climb!

SK- if you want to get a metric in this weekend, the Benicia club is starting from the Valley Cafe in Rockville on Saturday morning at 9:00AM. They are going to do the ride to Berryessa via M Corner the reverse of how we did it last year- with an option to do Cantilew on the way back. I think the total distance is something like 60 miles. I'll email you if you want details. Should be a good ride for some not too hard climbs and some good distance.

Bike Goddess,
Would you send me the information for the Lake Berryessa ride this weekend. I have a tight schedule on Saturday, but would like to try to squeeze this in.

Sadie Kate,
Are you going to do the Sea Otter in April?

[SadieKate]

Sea Otter? No, I'll be in Moab and environs, Monkey Wrench Gang territory to be exact.

Thanks, Nancy. We haven't quite decided what we want to do and we don't want to end up driving both days.

So, come on down and reminisce!

Good grief. . . yes, SadieKate, I meant to say wider tires, not wheels, and also May, not April. I really appreciate getting this info, and thanks very much!
