Bay Area Weekend Rides?

[bikerz]

Hello TE friends -

I was thinking of riding the Bay Trail (maybe with extensions??) on Saturday, then joining Cindy Sue (Yay! She'll be back from deepest darkest Nova Scotia!) on a flat 40 mile ride out of Walnut Creek on Sunday.

Anyone else interested???



(Note - I scotched the idea of my killer hill ride Sunday because (A) I think it will be very hot, and (B) I'd rather hear what Cindy's been up to!)

Here's Cindy's ride description for Sunday (Note: this ride is organized by LunaChix):

Meet at Walnut Creek BART before 9am on Sunday

Hope to see many of you there. This will be a FLAT ride, no hills, and only a slight incline here or there. While this is a beginner level 40 miles, you should be accustomed to riding at least 30 miles with no problem. Our pace should be around 12 - 15 mph (since it's flat).

You'll also want to bring a minimum of TWO bottles of water because the tri-valley is hot! Also bring an emergency contact, your ID and insurance card. Check the lunachix website for other suggestions on what to bring (I'm on the road and don't have all that in front of me).

Meet at Walnut Creek BART in the plaza area near the fare gates. Come early, sign-in, and grab some LUNA bars. We'll try to leave at 9am so we beat the late afternoon heat. The ride should take about 3 - 4 hours. We'll take two 5-10 minute breaks and I'll fill you in on my bike tour around the southern province of Nova Scotia.

Sounds good to me. I should be able to make one or both!

So what time on Saturday in Emeryville?

Is 8:00 am too early?

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?

I'm so confused...
