July 8 Beginner's Ride - Alameda Creek Trail

[spazzdog]

Could you PM or email me directions to the start (from my abode off 580).

I'm going to invite my upstairs neighbor, Pierre. If he wants to come, I'll have to drive us rather than me meeting up with Trek420.

Remember, directions for dummies... I don't know nothin' 'bout birthin' no babies.... er, i mean, getting around in California.

spazz-o-directionless

P.S. in case he comes, does anybody speak French?

[slinkedog]

Je parle Francais un peu, and I really mean EN PEU. I could ask him where the toilets are and tell him my name, but that's about it.

[spazzdog]

Well, both are very important sentences... but he won't know where the toilets are

LOL! Well, I can ask Ann where the toilets are in French, at least.

Duck on Wheels (her birthday is Sunday) speaks a tiny bit of French I think. Also Pedadler (who lurks but rarely posts) might be there.

spazzdog, could you pm me the directions bikerz pms you?

[spazzdog]

i, uh, deleted them.

she did mapquest to 700 Old Canyon Rd. That's what she sent.

Slinke, les toilets son la. (Picture me pointing that-a-ways, with a certain Gallic flair!)

thanks... I just chuckled into a conference call at work... boring meeting.

So Niles Canyon is the better way to go, rather than taking Mission St, from 680? I just haven't driven it in a while. Thanks!

Hi Amy - Best bet is to check mapquest directions from your home - I have been using google directions, but then a friend told me google's directions were not as good as mapquest...

[bikerz]

A little extra location info -

The turn onto Old Canyon Rd off Niles Canyon is a soft right. You'll then cross over a little bridge over the creek, and then start looking for a down-sloping driveway on the left into the parking lot - there are actually 2 driveways, one on each side of the lot.

If you do a google maps of the address and then look at the sat photo, you can see what it's like. (I only mention this because I missed the Old Canyon turnoff AND the parking lot turn the first time I went there )

spazz, didn't you tell me he's really cute, straight, French, single and bikes?

Lise, how quickly can you and your bike get to CA?

[spazzdog]

Oui! He is all those things... except single. I believe he has a gal in France. She visits from time to time.

Trek420 I'll call you today/tonight when I know for sure if he's coming with or not. If no, I'll be at your place in am.
