RBR is having a group ride out of the VA hospital in Palo Alto on Sunday at about 9am. They usually split up into an A, B and, if they have enough, a C group. Which doesn't really matter since you'd be up in the A group anyway! :) They also have a few re-groups as well.

I will be up in Reno. First penguin ride of the season. Sunday calls for Sunny and a high of 36 at the summit of Mt. Rose.

Riverbank on Sunday, and the Condor Classic Saturday. I'm in for the Condor, and am toying with the idea of double-dipping and doing the Riverbank on Sunday.

Marco, do you have a bike with 700x28c or above tires on it? If you do, you should consider this ride -- will be climbing Mt. Tam via Railroad Grade Fire Road, then doing a couple other fire roads as we descend toward Alpine Dam. From there, it's paved roads all the way back to the city.
We are meeting Saturday at 9:30AM at the bridge, or 8:45AM at Velo Rouge Cafe on Arguello Street.

I feel like a sandwich in Pescadero. Think I'll do the big coast loop.
Leaving at around 12:30 from San Mateo.

I'm staring at snow. This stuff better melt by tomorrow or I'll be doing a 1000' climb hill repeat over and over again.

Well, at least you are not staring at a computer screen all day. I can see blue skies, and sun shine, but can't enjoy any of it ... :(

I just did:
San Mateo -> Woodside -> OLH -> W84 -> W Alpine -> Skyline -> E84 -> Robert's -> and Back.
I tacked on some local steep stuff at the end.
64.45 miles -- 6100 feet of climbing
3h:50m ride time -- 16.8mph avg spd
166 bpm avg HR (for the whole ride).
Pulled a 21:20 OLH time.... 8 sec better than my best, but still can't get it under 21 flat.
Wind on Canada on the way home was BRUTAL!

Ruth and I will be doing the same tomorrow, but going up Kings, on the tandem.
