Does the ride REALLY go up 84? Without traffic control, that sounds like 4 miles of no fun, even at 8:00 AM on Saturday.

Probably the residents along OLH complained would be my guess as to why it isn't on the route.

I'm going to try to do this ride along with my sisters. Not sure if the timing is going to work out though. I should know by the end of the week.

Outback Alert!!!
There is a new Outback Steakhouse at the Hillsdale Mall, about .7 miles from Bay Meadows, the starting point for Giro de Peninsula.
Just thought some people here would want to know...

Hmm, I have a question. it looks like most of you guys know each other. but what about those who are relatively new to the community? how are we going to meet for the ride or afterwards?

BigSean is pretty easy to pick out of a crowd and we call all watch for you as well
