Good idea w/ the ride, incidentally. Unusual bikes make for more interesting rest stops. If I'm not away on the chosen wknd., I'm in. I also need a chance to change my luck after getting a flat while the bike was racked on the back of the car, en route to my first BF NorCal ride on the peninsula, last fall.

Aw, that's too bad. I was liking the idea of having a weird ride on a weird day. I guess 4/12 will do, as well. Good for everyone else?
It could be the April-Twenty-Observed Ride.

Well, it seems that there aren't any objections to April 12, so I've updated the initial post with what information we have so far.

X136 neglected to tell every one that if you only have one bike then you are required to wear a bikini or a diaper. With that said, plan on a 3 to 4 hr ride as flat as possible....EXCEPT !!ONE HILL!! OF MY CHOOSING! Be prepared my lovely children.... Ye shall be rewarded with the "Grande Falafal".

Is this going to be a family outing? If it is we might want to avoid going through the heart of the city, and stay along the periphery of the downtown area. Ballpark, Embarcadero,Pier 39, Fishermans, Aquatic park,Chrissy field, Golden Gate and back. That way the bikes wouldn't have to deal with auto traffic or hills hardly at all. Would this work? I'm ok for whatever everyone wants.
