2nd Annual Rich Christie Memorial Ride, Sunday 1 July

[scratch]

Note that this is on a Saturday.  It's the only day that my wife will be out of town. 

This time it will start at the end of last year's ride @ the store at the end of Old San Jose/Soquel road and go north from there, that way we'll hit the stopsign and no one will miss the turn.    The plan is that we will end up at the top of 'four corners' (Hwy9 and 35/Skyline Blvd.), and then go to St. John's on Lawrence Expwy in Sunnyvale for an early dinner, and then to my house to view the dvd that TaZz (Rich's brother) made.

Other suggestions are welcome, as follows:

Meet: 76 gas station at the bottom of Hwy 9 in Saratoga*
Time: about ~ 10:00am

*alternate/Pre-meeting meet in Sunnyvale @ the Starbuckies on the corner of Lawrence and El Camino @ 9:00am

Pending route to follow

That sounds utterly brilliant just as it is, scratch. 

I'm definitely in.  I can't believe it's been almost a year since we lost Phae

Bring your hankies for the DVD.

[pandy]

After checking calendar...do you mean Saturday, July 7th? The 9th is a Monday this year....

[scratch]

Crap.  I mean June.  Oops.

[scratch]

Wife suggested not veiwing the dvd at the end of the ride, because it would be a depressing end to a great ride, and she doesn't think that Rich would'ave wanted it that way.  I have extra copies of the dvd if anybody local wants them.

Also, Pandy reminded me that July 1st (a Sunday) is the actual anniversary, and I will ride that day as well.  I'm thinking the 10am-at-Alice's Restaraunt, on the top of Hwy84 and Skyline-to-Pescadero route.  So if you miss, June 9th, there'll be another ride July 1st.

[pandy]

I'm in for both.

[RedShift]

Where ever we are, we should get out an ride our favourite road on July 1.  Would be a fitting tribute -- singluarly or in groups.  (Guess you can infer that I won't make the California ride.)

Amen. Were that we could all get together for a ride in person, but we can do it in spirit.

The Saturday, June 9th ride, I was thinking of meeting at 10am at the earliest.

Also, after both rides I plan on a trip down, and back up, Page Mill road as it was repaved just last year.

Page Mill is glorious now.  I live right off Page Mill and 280, so I usually take Page Mill up to Skyline.

Anyway, count me in for the 9th

Ceek says he's in for sweep if needed (and to help pick me up off the ground as needed  ).

June 9th is my Wife's B-Day...


I might be down there the following Monday...  We shall see....

e's welcome to come!

[sanjay]

Argh, so I have a take-home final from Friday to Monday.  I'll probably only come for part of the ride on Saturday. 

[scratch]

You know we're starting down south and coming up north?

[pandy]

So how come we're doing two rides instead of just one? We're all spread pretty thin time-wise, and I *KNOW* scratch is always hurtin' for time....

[sanjay]

Wait, I thought you were meeting at Alice's at 10am? Or is that only the July 1st ride?

[pandy]

I think it's time to update the first post in the thread?   

I think June 9th's meeting place is the ending place of last year's ride....

[scratch]

If it's my choice I would like to scrap this ride on the 9th of June in favor of the ride July 1st.

All those in favor?

[pandy]

Other suggestions are welcome.

How about consolidating the two rides into one, and making it July 1st, which is the official one-year anniversary?
