I can't make it to the start that early but I'll be riding tonight later on. Just curious, what's your planned route?

What time are you planning to ride? I was thinking something "flatish" out and back to Woodlands on Foothill Blvd.

I actually have a destination in mind - Palo Alto airport via Caltrain from San Jose.

I need to see what it takes to get my new Swift folding bike in a little airplane. I'm also going to do some night takeoffs and landings so that I'm current for carrying passengers at night again (need three night takeoffs/landings in the last 90 days to be legal)

Then I'm going to ride 23 miles home from there but this won't be until 10pm or so, maybe 10:30.

So I doubt this would work with your plans, I was mainly curious in order to get some more ideas for quick after work rides.

Anyway I definitely want to ride another evening this week, maybe Thursday up Montebello again but I haven't decided for sure.

It's not flattish, but if you want to swing south and do Montebello or repeats of Mt. Eden, I can join you. (I've never done Mt. Eden repeats, but I'd like to try since it seems like a good 3.5-4.5 minute interval.)

That exceeds my current intarweb skillz. :( I'll see if I can figure out how to map a route on Google Maps and send you a link.
