We shall meet at Alice's Restaraunt at the top of Hwy84/Woodside and Hwy35/Skyline Blvd. @ 10am.

The route will be down 84 to LaHonda where we will turn left onto Pescadero.  Pescadero to Gazo's Creek Road to US1.  US1 south past Davenport to Bonnie Doone.  Up Bonnie Doone, right onto Empire Grade and left onto Felton Empire Grade to Felton, then Hwy9 to the top.

This will be newbie freindly.

Hipocracy.... becoming more acceptable with the more power you think you have.

Don't worry there'll be another ride in July and another in August.

Does anybody want to pick a day?  18th or the 25th.

I choose the 25th. I'm not gonna be there, but you said anyone!  :laugh:

Also, it gives people who are going to the Deal's Gap rally from June 9-11 some time to get back and get things under control.

Actually, it has to be the 25th because the 18th is Father's Day (however, I can't think of a better thing to do on Father's Day then go for a ride, except take my own father out for lunch).  That's settled.

I usually have a hard time planning that long in advance, but tentatively I'm in.

I've never been to Alice's in all of 7 months that I've been riding.   :oops:

scratch

That's okay I didn't know that Pescardero Rd. even existed until about 5 years ago, and I've been riding these hills for about 19 years!

And, I never ate at Alice's until my third year of going up there (always went by the place, or stopped in the parking lot).  Good food!

YAY!! The bridal shower is on the 24th, not on the 25th as I feared, so I'm still in!  :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

I've never been to Alice's! Can't wait!  :icon_mrgreen:

Are we going to eat at Alice's, or just meet there?

scratch

I plan to eat, it gives time for others to gather.  I like to be riding by 10:30, but it's usually closer to 11, which is allright, gives me time to digest and socialize.  :icon_mrgreen:

I'm in (assuming my GS works by then).  Summer break starts next week for me, which means plenty of wrenching time.

Pandy/Scratch,

You ever ride up toward the Sacramento Area? Maybe up to Tahoe?

Any other GS folks up in these parts? It'd be great to get to ride with n00b-friendly folks.

TheGoodGuy lives up in the Sacto area..now we just need him to get his Baby G up there!  :icon_twisted:

Ceekie and I'd probably be up for the adventure if we ended up in  Reno.... nothing like losing a bit of money after a nice ride!  :laugh:

Ugh, ugh, ugh. I've been sicker than a dawg this week. It looks as though we'll be meetin' y'all for coffee at Alice's, but the exciting ride will have to wait for me 'til July.  :cry: *cough* *hack up a lung* *bronchitis SUCKS*  :mad: (but being off of work has rawked....watching People's Court and Judge Judy and Judge Joe Brown all day...I could learn to like this....  :icon_mrgreen:)
