Hey Slinke - how fantastic - it would be great to see you again!

Trek420 and I did the "out and back" version of this route yesterday - it was very pleasant, but a tad on the windy side. It seemed like a head wind 75% of the time (but the other 25% was a blast!) We started late (after 12) so we caught the afternoon breeze off the bay on our way out.

My headwind face:
My tailwind face:

So I think if we all meet at the parking lot at or slightly before 9 and get rolling soon after, we shouldn't get too much headwind on the way out there...

Is anyone from San Jose going who would like to do our part for the environment and 'pool with me? It's looking hopeful for me to go. I can take one more bike and human in my car.

Slinke, it'll be great to see you !

Z, have you declared a time yet?

Ed. to add - oops, Z sorry, just saw your post.

9 am is a very good time to start, it seems the wind has been whipping up pretty early so we're much ore likely to miss the brunt of it starting at 9.
