Foxy's Fall Century Pre-Ride Party
Maybe this will become an annual event.
For the second year we're hosting a pot-luck for all who are riding FFC on the 17th. It's a laid-back, food -and drink- filled way to meet your fellow NorCal BF friends and meet the people behind the screen names.
This year Wolfpack is joining us. So let's show our NorCal spirit and converge on Chez Gallagher once again. Bring your favorite dish to share and good humor. (We have space available for those who may need it, although you may have a Schipperke for company.)
If you're not riding but want to party? Hey, c'mon over! It'll be fun!
PM me with a phone number or email address if you have questions, or need directions. We'll be on the road from SF to SB for 8 days. Otherwise, respond here. I'll check in as soon as I can.
Last year was a blast, even though I couldn't do the ride because of a broken rib -- so don't let a little ache stand in the way of having fun.
See you here!

Pre-ride as in the day before, or pre-ride as in early morning? Isn't the ride at 7:30 AM?

I think we'll be able to make it. We sure do want to. If I remember correctly, I still owe someone a beer.
I assume details on timing and such will be revealed soon.

I'll have limited Internetz access while on the road, so PM me -- comes right to my email which comes right to my BlackBerry. I can answer questions while on the tandem -- it's part of my job as stoker.

I'll be at Foxy's ride, courtesy of bigbossman's whining and wheedling 
, but I'm afraid I can't make the shindig the evening before. 
I'll be sure to go super-slow so the rest of you can feel god about yourselves.

So sorry but I can't make it either. Made a deal with wifey that I'd babysit so she can see a movie with her mom and sis and so that I can play the next day. Wish I could be there.

Bump.
The occasion is nearly upon us. We're no sooner back from our epic ride on the edge of the Western World than we're plunged into party-prep mode.
Looks like we'll have about a dozen brave souls so far. Anyone else? We still have a couple of couches unclaimed for those who'd like to stay over. Clean towels, no charge.
Otherwise we hope to see some of y'all on the road.

We'll miss the rest of you who aren't able to make it, and will be sure to talk smack about you.

Hopefully I'll see you tomorrow. We're planning to be there a bit early and ready to roll by 7. Look for me!

I'm so sorry I couldn't make it tonight, it's been a rough week and I wasn't up for 4-5 hours of driving. 
Hope you all had fun!
