Haha! I might be in wijth a fighting chance of keeping up then.

Whatever happens I'll see if I can get to the foot of the climb on Guadalupe Canyon and North Hill by say 11:30 ish. Sounds like you'll be climbing from the other side of the hill (past the elementary school?). Even if I don't see you guys, it means I get out of the office earlier -- which is always good.

Not as sore as me...still feeling it walking up and down stairs. Let's see how we are feeling at the time.

Crap, I could so almost make this. Head to SFO as early as possible, stash the folding bike in the truck, escape afterward for a two-hour "lunch break" (or an hour for lunch and an hour of "traffic"), arrive back at work mysteriously sweaty...

Hey can I play too. I was planning on doing the headlands tomorrow but this sounds like more fun. I've.....uh.....never done San Bruno even though I live here. Mostly because I have no idea how to get there. Pete are you coming by the park?

Isn't that interesting, I did Warren Dr. to Clarendon to Twin Peaks Blvd. yesterday, in the triple bottom gear that is.

Is this the basic route, by any chance? Just trying to figure how long such a thing would take so I can see if there's any possibility of fitting it into my day.

Interesting -- this is my usual route, from where I join at the foot of the climb

Paula, I'm impressed! Those are some serious climbs, and I appreciate what it takes to do them on consecutive days. Well done, you!

Well, you could always skip radio road on the way over and then capture the mountain on the way back....either way, I'll chill at the junction of North Hill and Guadalupe just after 11:30 for a while, just in case.

Have fun.

Recognize where this sign is located?

Since I'm doing this ride earlier than you guys, 6am. Maybe I'll tape a little prize on the backside of the sign or just stick it in the pamphlet slot.

Did you see my knee caps anywhere? I seem to have misplaced them on Twin Peaks Blvd

Alright, I'm not going to be able to make the ride (a bit too busy today), but I might be able to meet you guys somewhere.

Have a good ride, in any case!
