Alright, Same plan but we leave SF at 12am. So it looks like this is going to have to be on a Saturday. Im gonna let this run for a few more days before finalizing the date. Thanks everyone!

Just a fare warning to those that really have not ridden long distance...

Please train for this or think about it. This is 55 miles on a fixed gear. Even with Bennet's experience he still gets sore on a ride like this. This will be much harder then a stroll to Santana Row. I just dont want a ride like this to discourage folks from riding because at times it may become a BITCH ASS FUCK of a ride for you. Just be smart about it. Start riding far and getting used to it. 55 miles is a good amount of saddle time. Think about it. Just lookin out for everyone.

damn bennet knowssss his shit!

I vote for Either 0ct.13th or 14th Since I'll be out of town the week prior.

Are SJ peeps going to BART up to the city? Are we caravan'ing?

I wish we could leave earlier. I'm booked for the next few weeks for work... but I want to make this. Man... we should leave at 7:00am.

[thyna-mao]

7:00AM

[ThaValleyFixedGear]

WOW 7am is a little to early. I think most of us in here will be drinking or partying the night b4.

[Citify]

Sorry man, 7am is a no go. No one will be able to do that. Too early. I think this is gonna be on 10/13/07, leave around 9:30-10:00 am. Hows that sound?

[thyna-mao]

[Dion rides]

LOL.

I keed. I'm old (older than most of you) so I'm up at the crack of dawn everyday - plus I'm one of those wierdos that can't wait to get up in the morning to get the day started.

What are the plans for us Southbay folks to get up to SF?

[benitosan]

age is no excuse on this issue, i'm older than you and everyone else here, and i can do this ride
with my eyes closed well not really, its easy and flat, but your butt will hurt around the 2 1/2 hr mark,
and it takes roughly 3- 3 1/2 hours or more depending on the group pace and rest stops and whatnot.

the plan is for Southbay folk to Caltrain it up to SF, meet at Caltrain 4th/King and ride south to SJ...
its as easy as that if you want to go, then go, no excuses necessary, its a nice ride and good challenge.

Excuses... Not allowed around here.

[Dion rides]

Even if I got a deal with an up-and-coming track bike shop to carry my top tube pads and I have to make a delivery on Saturday?

[Citify]

Seriously?!  excuses...
