That looks like a great ride - there are some bypasses which I have never taken - like Malcom Dixon Dr to bypass that busy stretch of Green Valley, and the Horseshoe Bar/Val Verde to bypass Auburn-Folsom - I have never enjoyed riding on Auburn-Folsom, ever - the most unpleasant drivers in the whole area.

Unfortunately, no. Why not just come back to my house? Be about 30 minutes early to gear up. PM me if you need the address again.

He Joel-
I've been on the fence with this ride and I've juggled enough stuff to make it happen. It will be nice to put some faces to names. Can I meet you at the Hatchery? If so, what is a good meet-up time?
See you on Saturday.

Todd, the Hatchery is fine. Glad to have you! Assuming we leave on time (always a gamble), anytime between 9:20 and 9:40.

Does that mean Bossman is out since he was going to ride up with you?

We'll take the ARBT to Iron Point where the MapMyQuest map starts.
When we hit the end of that map at Bealls Point, we'll take the ARBT back to Hagan Park where we started.
I guess the confusion is my own fault. It's what I get for being too lazy to completely fill in the route on the map.

Sorry but I'm out. No miles in. Work has been crazy. I'm hoping that things slow down to a sustainable level so I can actually get some miles in this summer.

Probably for the best - I've been working like a dog and not getting too many miles in. I'm slow to begin with, and with my relative lack of conditioning would have zero chance of keeping up with the group. I hate having people wait on me.

So, it's me, Tricia and Joel...
I still think LanceOldStrong needs to be harassed into coming.
Drag yourself over here to Antioch and I'll drive you up.

Tricia is coming? Excellent!
Bossman, let me know if you're going to make it.
