My friend Mike (no, not my dog) will be joining us too. He'll be on a mountain bike 
He's hoping the autobus isn't too fast for him.

Reid,
You are just too wild and crazy ... but maybe the sleep depravation will be the equalizer for the rest of us. But then again, I woke up at 5:30 am ... wtf

Damn, it's nice to not have to wake up especially early for one of these things for once. I may even have breakfast!

I'm a late scratch.
Bike came partially off the rack on the way down, and bent a fork dropout.
Have fun!

wow...that was my first time up mt hamilton.....The climb was very humbling. It makes my usual foothill expy/palo alto/woodside route look like nothing. Phew. I went through 3 gu gels, a pack of crackers and 2 bottles of water on the way up. I was hurting all the way up but it was fantastic. hahaha I nearly wiped out 6 times on the decent....yikes but it was fun hahah
