So it looks like a bunch of people are doing rides on 10/6-10/7 and 10/20-10/21. Looks like these weekends are out for the NorCal BF ride for October. So the other weekends are 10/13-10/14 or 10/27-10/28. End of the month may be out, if some have family commitments for halloween, so how does 10/13 or 10/14 for the October ride sound?

Hey Ron, I'm still planning on heading up the Mt. Tam Oct. 27th ride, I'm back from the dead. I've been sick since just after Tour De Max. Found out I having a reaction to something in my envirorment. I've had a fever and a host of other symtoms. So I'm on anti-allergy medications, and finally got back on my bike this week, so I should be ok by Oct. I had planned on inviting everyone for a weekend day in the park but, being sick and time have kind of blown that out of the water... Anyway I'm up for the next BF ride, can't do the HMB ride I'm too punked for that right now.
Later

I could do Sunday, the 14th. Saturdays are out until after Thanksgiving (I've been roped into being a soccer coach for one of my kids' teams - pretty sad since I played football and swam in high school).

Mt. Tam on the 27th sounds good to me...

Glad to see you are doing better Taxi777. Oct 27 up Mt Tam sounds like a great ride. People should be recovered from their previous century rides by then.

i can do 10/13-14 (wife is out of town).. i'll be in hawaii for 10/27-28 (my 1 year wedding anniversary!)

BlastRadius

Hahaha, AYSO, All Your Saturdays Occupied.
I was persuaded to coach one year... it was fun but I'm no soccer coach.

10/27 sounds OK for me. Will have to confirm on the family calendar.

Congrats on your first anniversary. Since you set the bar high for your first, You have to up that standard from now on. Ask me how I know.

mtnwalker

Not necessarily. You have a full year after to work on some mediocrity. 14 yrs of experience has taught me that.


Of course I'm kidding.

msincredible

As far as I know, 10/27 will work for me.

mtnwalker

^^^Just make sure you stretch and get a bike that fit next time you ride. OK?

uspspro

10/27 should work for me I think. I'm back on the bike.

alainp

10/27 works for me too (I think). I should be healthy by then.

taxi777

I'm totally up for Mt. Tam on the 27th!

I've never been up Mt. Tam. What should a rookie expect? Especially a not so strong up the hills rookie!

Nothing short of a great day with views. Just pace yourself. A long switchback climb, and a drop of around 400ft to alpine dam and a pretty tough climb up the backside, then seven quick climbs over looking Stinson and the Pacific and roll to the summit.
looking forward to seeing everyone.

^^^BTW, How many miles and how much climbing should we expect here?

sweetnsourbkr

Barring any unscheduled events, I'm in for the 27th.

spingineer

Wow, what a reaction! Amazing to see such a large response. I'm game for a ride on 10/27 in Mt. Tam. I've never done that ride.

If anyone is interested, I was thinking of doing Calaveras on 10/13, over to Palomares.

jinws

hey. hope you're healing well. see you on the hill.

alainp

Thanks for asking. Still have aches and pains and the bruises are fading. Looking forward to getting my feet wet again but gonna be a lot more careful (i.e. slowwwww) this time on the descent.

msincredible

Yes sir!

Actually I am feeling so much better today. It's amazing to think that just 3 days (and 2 countries) ago I was limping around Paris choking down French aspirin (and I HATE taking drugs), barely able to walk up and down a step. Moving around seems to have helped, it felt best after walks and worst after being still in one position for a long time. Now I can walk up and down 5 flights of stairs in my hotel. Hopefully it will hold up to the long flight home. I don't think I'll push it by trying to find a Swiss rental bike though....

After I get home I am planning on scheduling a proper bike fitting before shopping for my road bike. Maybe I should also consider a folding bike for all of these trips!

Get a bike friday pocket rocket pro. That way you have a folding/road bike... not that I'm biased.

Smooooth

Sassy and I are doing this one. Hope some of you can make it 110 miles of fun. I don't think there is much climbing - but it didn't really say.

October 14th, North of Modesto in Riverbank, CA
