Dam Corners and Valley road ride - Sat, May 20

[SadieKate]

Slinke, if it helps you to know this (w/o using Krebs) all of the climbing on the shorter route is at the beginning.

Yes, it would definitely be the shorter route for me. Do you honestly believe that I haven't looked at my Krebs? Get real, Woman.

Some other people need to get the their hineys on a bike, hills or flat (no Slinke, I am not referring to you - my hiney hasn't been on the bike much this year). I'll be there, corners be damned.

No, but just in case . . .

MP, using the 2001 DD map, Winters is between RS#1 (Plainfield) and RS#2 Markley Cove. Markley Cove is after you've climbed the Dam and are on your way to Moskowite Corner, where our group will turn south down Wooden Valley to Mankas Corner. The map I have is a very poor repro so I can't tell how many miles you wander around the fields of Davis and Plainfield before getting to Winters. It looks like the top of Cardiac is at mile 50 for you and probably mile 8 or 10 for us. If you've ever done the 100 mile Foxy Fall, is almost the same but we've cut out the boring stuff between Winters and Davis (and we do it in reverse).

Okay- it is all coming back to me now. Well, its possible we see you at the beginning point or at Cardiac. We will most likely be starting before you guys, though. I expect a 5:30 - 6 am start so we get on the road and maybe home before Em's bedtime. I'd still love to get a jamba or something with you the night before so I can meet you, though!

Hey, guess what? It's raining here! Shocking, I know.

Nice ride- did this one with you all last year. I'll be working this time so no go for me!

I suggest you swing through Gordon Valley on the way to Mankas Corner. Less traffic and beautiful scenery. At the rate we are going, it should be green and beautiful for the whole dam ride!

[DrBadger]

Pencil me in as a maybe.... would love to do the ride and meet a few more of you, but I fly back from Wyoming on Friday, and Sat is a roommate's graduation and friend's birthday, and I don't know if they are making plans or not. If not, I am there!

[SadieKate]

Tell them you have a priority appt.
