Whew, July flew by and I forgot to get this up. I hope everyone can come out and join us!

Same meeting place (Palo Alto VA parking lot), Same meeting time (9 am).

Same general route. Francois will lead the 'A' group through Huddert while the rest of the ride goes through the maze and get a head start on Canada.

The ride usually breaks up into two groups (possibly three depending on riders) with multiple regroups.



Here's the map of the VA parking lot and where to meet.

Last month's groupshot

4 days!! I'm 50/50 in making this (if no one needs emergency care).

 

[CrankyMonkey]

I should be there... need to get approval.

 

[CrankyMonkey]

No ride for me... multiple birthday parties.

 

[Leopold Porkstacker]

Considering this… need to get approval from la esposa.

 

[Gee3]

No go for me... I already have family plans. If there's another one on the 10th I can probably make it!

 

[bikerbert]

I'm there, and hopefully wifey too!

 

[Francis Cebedo]

I'm there.

Everybody stop waffling and show up .

I just joined this board & was thinking about going on this ride. Just wondering about the route, thanks.

ah, forgot to add the route...

here ya go. http://www.bikely.com/maps/bike-path/RBR-4-3-2-08

Francois will lead a little detour before canada for riders looking for a bit of a challenge, but the rest of the ride is fairly mellow.

 

[velogirl]

Thien, when's the september ride?

That map has some errors. I think these are better (but am still waiting for confirmation on the Huddart part):

The classic route: http://www.bikely.com/maps/bike-path/RBR-II-4-6-08 - 35 miles, 1700 feet of climbing

And with the Huddart (climbing) extension: http://www.bikely.com/maps/bike-path/RBR-Palo-Alto-with-Huddart-extension - 38 miles, 2300 feet of climbing

Can we do two rides a month now that the SVCC ride is getting moved to Thursday mornings?

 

[Dr_John]

I'll be there. And as a public service announcement there's some crap (white porcelain?) in the bike lane on Junipero Serra just north of Page Mill that probably won't be cleaned up by Sunday. As I road through it today, I thought to myself, whew, thank goodness that wasn't glass. I flatted anyways.

Hmm... I wonder if some kind soul would go out there prior to sunday with a big broom and brush it away...

If there's enough interest, i wouldn't mind running a second one on the 16th or 17th this month. And Al's ride is planned for the 24th.

Thien, when's the september ride?

Tentatively the 6th or the 7th... Is this your way of saying you're not going to be coming out sunday??

 

[CrankyMonkey]

OR we could always trying and find another sponsor to do the Mid-Month Sunday Ride. Another thought I had was coming up with a different loop so we are not doing the same loop over and over.

I vote for Sunday the 17th so I can go!
