SF Peninsula C&V Ride: First Saturday of the month
After a successful C&V ride in September @genejockey and I decided that we should make this a monthly event (With input from the riders there that day).
This is a ride where a few of us ride together and it's an open invitation for anyone to join us. This is not Eroica compliant. Bring the bike you want to ride, with the set-up you want.
Day: First Saturday of the month
Start Location: The Corner of Edgewood and Canada north of Woodside, about 1/2 mile off of 280 for easy access.
Same time: 10:00AM start
See attached .pdf for the Cue sheet and some pictures. ~30 mile, mostly flat (some rollers), all paved.

Definitely not Eroica compliant! Last time one of the riders was on a CF bike with disc brakes, and nobody made fun of him!

I plan to be there on my best bike: 1965ish Cinelli frame (Eroica-compliant) with Campy 10sp triple, SPDs and dual-pivot brakes (decidedly not Eroica-compliant). See y'all then.

Hey Guys
Great meeting all of you and the ride was superb, even though I had to leave early for honey-do projects back at the house.
Other than a few very short rides, first time for me taking the Masi out on the road. The Masi rode extremely well and surprising that I did not really notice the additional weight compared to my contemporary bikes.
Thanks again for organizing this, see you in November.

Yes, thanks for organizing another good ride! We had a good long discussion at the park halfway where I learned still more good bike stuff. It got a little warm toward the end there. November should be cooler!

Reminder - Tomorrow is the first Saturday of the month. Unfortunately I won't be able to attend due to some family obligations. Looks like it'll be dry. I hope to see some pictures.

And this time, I'm bringing the Ironman.

I got there a little late, but rolled out at 10:10, as we had previously. Day started out cloudy, but not too bad. Rolled on through Woodside and Portola Valley as usual. This time, I remembered something I'd thought of before - line up all the bikes for a group shot at Frenchman's Tower on Old Page Mill! I made sure it happened this time!
Yeah, that's right! Today's ride was just me. No biggie, though, I still had fun! Here's a bonus pic of the Ironman.
I'll be there next month, December 4th, barring rain or illness. Same bike time, same bike channel!

I should be in for this month. Dec 4th at 10:00 AM.
I'm hoping to bring my "new" Bianchi. It should win the contest for most "Patina".

I have confused IRL conversations with BF handles before...
Looks great!
I will not make it on 12/4, holiday commitments have arisen.

When we did the first ride, I was still thinking about looking for one. I hadn't planned on getting an '85. I was more interested in the red/white of your 86. But this one came up, and it was in my size, and at a good price, and just up in Rohnert Park.....

I’m out this time. AQL is over100 along the route, too high for me.

I'm worried about the AQI also.
All -
The numbers have been moving a lot so I'll make a call at our usual 7:45 to 8:00 tomorrow if I am going to go or not.

wave at me at coyote point
and the fact that i have not hardly ridden for the last 6 weeks has nothing to do with this at all
and is first weekend in January the first or the 8th ?
