>I'm imaging a few riding down from Marin, pick up some people's in SF, the Peninsula, Santa Cruz, wherever people are coming from, and the train gets bigger and stronger along the way. For those that might see >this as a bit too much to bite off, two people, two bikes, and a car, switch off and each rides halfway each day.
>Discuss.

That'd work. Keep your eyes out for details.

I think the additional day as you suggest, with arrival on Friday, is a must. Otherwise we'll drive folks away with the high mileage/climbing demands. My experience is that on any tour you want to build in flex time and room for both short and long days. Time to block out some vacation days almost a year ahead of time.
Might be a good idea to see if we can find some BF crash pads in San Rafael-ish, and Redwood City-ish to save on costs. Part of the idea to do this next year is from a guy I met that did it last year. I drove his car down from the Bay Area so he could drive back. Which brings up the point, how do we get back? Push comes to shove we rent a van and drive back. Maybe get someone to drive it down.
Some people get put off by the complexities of planning all this stuff out in advance. For some reason it adds to the excitement of the journey.

Yep, the hardest part is scheduling the time off. Well, probably the hardest part is getting the ok from your signficant other.

I like to plan things out ahead of time but I don't like to over plan. There needs to be room for spontaneity. The most important thing is to assess relatively early how many participants there will be and who is going to arrange accomodations (or do we do all that individually?).

Getting a list of people that are considering this would help steer decisions. How about starting a new thread, first post can be updated with those asked, those confirmed, those that are maybe...

PSA: 2 days left for the early bird rate for all of you that went in 2019.
I went ahead and signed up for Nova and Classic Eroica. I figured I would have my options open that way. and with the super early bird rate, I am spending the exact same for two as I did lat year for the late sign up rate ($150, last February according to pay pal). wife is even thinking her next bike may be a gravel bike, and she would be interested in the Nova ride!
