Would you guys mind keeping an eye out for me if I don't see you before this ride starts? Although we may be unfamiliar, I would rather not be a lone rider (obviously in case of mountain lion attacks).

and... so are we supposed to be there at 7 exactly, or what? I couldn't discern.

I just realized the ride goes by my grandma's old house on California (by the courthouse/jail), too bad she doesn't still live there - we could stop in for potato dumplings.
