Bay Area Weekend Rides?

[bikerz]

Where are you going to meet in Emeryville?

I usually park in a lot in Emeryville near an office building out past Chevy's, but the last time I was there on a weekend, the lot was locked, so we parked in the Chevy's overflow parking - I'll post a map later this morning.

Dumb question... is Sunday not the same ride you told me abt from Temescal?

If no, where is Walnut Creek from here? Car required or can I tool over on my bike?

No, the ride I told you about is all hills... the ride I am now going to do is 40 flat miles with CindySue (and probably a bunch of others).

Walnut Creek is either a drive or Bart - you could ride your bike over to MacArthur BART and take Bart to the Walnut Creek station.

I'd love to come, but, alas, my hubby is going to the Trips for Kids swapmeet in the North Bay and I have kid duty. I'll see you again in Monterey. And I want to plan a ride from my place soon. The one last year fell through. It would be fun to ride and then we can crash our cabana club pool, if anyone is so inclined.

Slinkedog, I'd love to join you on a ride from your place some time. I just hope I'm home when you plan one. I'll be riding that week-long Candisc ride in the midwest in August, though.

Hey Kjay! Let's try to plan something, then!! When is Candisk? I'm sure we can work around it and get something going!

For me a little later rollout on Sunday than 8:00 am would be nice.

If I take BART, the 1st train doesn't hit MacArthur until 8:18am putting me at Walnut Creek around 8:41am, assuming it all happens on time.

How's a 9:00-9:30 rollout?

spazz

p.s. if everybody prefers the earlier start, I'll see what I can do or I'll make the next ride. I'm spending Sat. taking a physical agility test for 4 hrs and think I might be moving a little slow on Sun morning.

good luck on the PA test Spazz. You'll either be moving slower 'cause you're tired or bouncing with joy 'cause you passed.

The latter I hope.

Hey Spazz - I'm not organizing the Sunday ride I'm just one of the attendees. The Sunday ride is sponsored by LunaChix, and Cindy wants to get going by 9:00 to beat the heat. So I think 9 is the time - but an 8:40 am arrival should leave you plenty of time, even if that first train is a little late.

[spazzdog]

okee-dokee!

i'll see what i can do.

Tomorrow's high is only 72 in Emeryville, so heat shouldn't be a factor. 8 or 9, whatever.

I'm sort of a maybe now. My social life drought is ending all in one weekend, and NO...not dates.... Let me know what you guys decide to do for Saturday!

[bikerz]

Geez - I guess we'd better make a plan for Saturday, seeing as it's Friday evening practically...

OK - How about this plan: Saturday 7/15 - Emeryville 9:00 am - The Bay Trail

* Let's plan on at least 20 miles, maybe 30+ with extensions. There is a nice little cafe at the Richmond Marina - good sandwiches - if folks want to have a lunch break...
