The World Cup final is at 11am!  Argh.  I suppose I'll tape it and join the ride, since my bike is now working and I've been itching to join a BAGS ride   

Good choice!!! 

Agh! World Cup? Ride? I can't decide!

I think I'll be missing this one...  and I was looking forward to it.  Have fun guys and gals- keep the rubber side down and the shiny side up!

I'm interested, but don't count me in yet!  I still have to see if I can re-schedule work.   

Eat breakfast and fill up before you arrive, there's no restaraunts at four corners, and the hotdog stand wont be there that early.  We could eat in Boulder Creek like we did last time (noonish/lunch). 

scratch:

We still gonna meet before you head up, or did you wanna rip it up a bit on your way up w/o us n00bs along. Either way is a-ok!  If you wanna meet, could ya' post an address or cross streets of where you're gonna be? 

Cagers: ok...paging Manjul to the white courtesy phone.... You coming out? I owe you lunch or dinner, 'member? So I'll make it worth your while!  I think WildBlue and GeeP are also possibilities. Did I miss anyone?Come on,  guys! Don't make me get  out the purple whip!

 

How about the Starbucks at the corner of Lawrence Expressway and El Camino Real. Is this the one you're talking about, scratch:

El Camino & Lawrence - Santa Clara
3605 El Camino Real
Santa Clara, California 95051
408-296-5078

Little Map

Is 9AM too early? I'm not sure how long it takes to get to four corners.

Anyone? Everyone? If this is the right *$, it certainly works for me....I can get my coffee fix in before we take off... 

I just talked to TheGoodGuy, and he WILL be caging it, so if you want to get a ride with him, post up or send me your contact info in PM! 

I'll be at the *$ listed above at 9AM....leaving there and heading to four corners at a little before 9:30AM. If you don't have my cell # and want it, PM me! 

Yeesh....I'm talking to myself a lot here! 

Whoever sent TheGoodGuy a message, he asked you to PM me so that I can give you his cell # so you guys can cage it. He's out partying hearty, so he's not near his 'puter right now.   

I am starting at 6:30 am ish from sacramento. Those of you who wanna cage it with me. call me 818-512-4047 . I will try pick you up on teh way down. Route is going to be 80-> 101 i think.

I can change it up a bit.

Manjul

its almost 7 am, i am starting now..

if geep and wildblue need picking up call me 818-512-4047. I am taking my laptop with me so i will be able to navigate in teh bay.

Stacie i will meet you at starbucks whereever that is.

See y'all out there!

Yup, that's the one.  I'll be there at 9am this morning, and wait til 9:15, it'll actually take us a little longer than one hour to get to four corners from there.  Sorry I haven't been able to post - with wife all day yesterday.

Amazing ride.....amazing people!       

In loving memory of Rich.

Just got home.  Wonderful ride.  Sorry, I lost it up there (crying); never really had to say anything like that before.  I guess I really do feel the loss.

Took it easy going back, especially on Summit, 25-30mph, and I was alone.  And, I was alone with my thoughts.  Kept getting distracted with thoughts of what happened to Rich.
Mixed bunch of Harleys and BMWs going the other way; many of them.  Eventually, made it to 9.  Then I really started tearing it up.  Hit my stride, granted I wasn't going very fast, 55-60; didn't have to hang off (that's the best way I like it; just be smooth).  And, stopped @ four corners again.  Talked to a few guys there, and went down 9, after dispatching one car, I had 9 all to myself all the way down.  After 118 miles, it only took 2 gallons, for 59mpg.

Thank you to everyone that came on the ride today.  It is so much better to ride together.  Rich would have liked that.

You spoke beautifully about Rich. It was a heartfelt, beautiful tribute.
