Wool socks - also from REI- work great in the rain!
Shoe covers- if it's wet, they help keep your feet dry
Long pants (my winter riding pants that have that fuzzy lining)
Long sleeved wool top under long sleeve winter jersey (discovered these at REI in the skii section. Breathe well and keep me dry!)
Sunglasses (just in case)
Camera- probably leave in car for pics later
Head covering- as in warm hat that goes over ears under helmet
Money for eating later on- the after ride food is okay, but I'd rather go out with you all!

Cat cr**, keep the glasses from fogging up

have we settled on a time for pre-ride cindy dinner?

Don't forget the cameras girls. Pictures of everyone are always great.
(Still waiting for spring in Northeast).

If it's pouring rain this evening, Helga and I will probably NOT drive out to Livermore to join you all for dinner - it's a heckuva drive under ordinary Friday commute conditions from our end of Oakland, but toss the rain effect in, and we might be spending more time getting and returning than being there! Let's hope the weather cooperates tonight, and more importantly for all you riders, tomorrow!

"Don't forget the cameras girls. Pictures of everyone are always great."

Surly I uploaded the pictures to my yahoo photos, if you click on my profile they are there under homepage

Bikeless is behind the camera.

The first two are Bikerz, then me, Helga with red stripped shirt, Mel, Bikegoddess and Cindysue.

Great pics, Dita! I think it was you I passed on Tesla, especially if you were wearing the same type of glasses. That'll teach me to be shy and unsure!!

[Melody]

Gak! I see I didn't evade the camera in time.

Dita, on the Shutterfly page, were you able to find me or Bikeless? I went looking but I haven't seen either of us. I'm guessing he still has more to do.

Finding out earlier is better for me too. I'll be coming from the Apple campus in Cupertino so it's a bit of a drive.

Oh, for anyone who's interested, I have 5 burned copies of the ALC "7 Days to End AIDS" and 5 copies of "100% Woman" (about Michelle Dumaresq [Michelle on the TE boards]) with me too for those who don't get Logo as promised. I'll also have my notebook and blank DVDs if more copies are needed.

Looks like ride4urlife said 6:30 pm - is that right?

[Sag 4 Valentine]

Well, I'll miss you all tonight (have fun) but I'll see you in the morning. Looking forward to it.....rain or shine!

Well this has been the week from hell for me.. on Monday my son was diagnosed with pnuemonia and now my youngest went to the MD today and she TOO has pnuemonia..
so we are out.. not going to be able to go since she was riding with us..
unless you really want mexican food, take the reservations.. I have my 3 tickets/entrys too... oh well.. take care, don't get wet cause its gonna rain and hail.. but just stay dry and warm....love you all!

[Melody]

ride, I'm sorry you've had such a bad week. I hope your kids get better soon. Here's me crossing my fingers! We'll ride for you and I'll keep you and yours in my prayers.

What time was the reservation for? 6:30pm? Under what name? How many people were in the reservation?

I'd personally suggest to everyone that we don't change restaurants since everyone who was coming already planned and to try to make changes this last minute would probably just be bad news and we'd leave someone out. I'm even coming from Cupertino.

Unless I hear otherwise, I'll plan to try to be there at 6:30pm. I might be a little late depending on how bad traffic is.

Ok. After perusing through the thread I have the following info:

Dinner Location:
Casa Orozco
325 South L St.
Livermore, CA 94550
925-449-3045

Time: 6:30pm
Reservation is under: Cathi or Harding

I'll be leaving momentarily. Trek420 has my cell. I should have given it to others but handsight is 20/20 But, I'll see everyone else who is coming there.
