Probably too late now, but maybe Ethiopian cuisine would tickle someones fancy?

No online menu. Same place as last year ... Italian cuisine

Since I've got nothing to do, and since I love seeing cyclists in civilian clothes, I would love to join you. Count me in if you have the open spots.

Oh yeah, and you guys are great so that is the main reason I want to come.

Thanks for the invite, but I won't be able to make it. I'm committed to my wife's company party. Please take lots of pictures and someone please bring a cake with a bike on top of it!

Thanks all for coming ... it was a fun outing. Too bad about the few no shows

Henry had another party to go to (last minute notice)
Mrs. Taxi couldn't make it.

Taxi rode over to Caltrain, and took it down to Sunnyvale ... all decked out in '07 Bikeforums jersey attire. The one thing that made it a little difficult was we couldn't recognize each other without helmets. Maybe next year, we will make helmets mandatory.

Miguel should have been a stand up comic. We need to bring a mic ... he's our local Seinfeld.

Pics:





Dang, Ramon ... that's a huge Calzone. That some Crestview recovery meal!!!!


Ramon diving into his Calzone


Ruth, eating pizza, with a fork and knife???


Pete and Chris ... finally arriving

Pete,

I appreciate the pics you posted in this thread. However, let me just say that I cannot stand having to scroll through the entire BF Dinner thread just to get to the pics. Next time you should make a separate thread with the BF Dinner Report so that the pics and accounts of the dinner are more convenient for us to access. After all, the pics are what draw the hits to this place... Thus we should make them easier to find.

Just my thoughts... Don't take it personal.
