Carry over from the ever growing discussion of the Impy Tribute Ride.

Seems like we're doing this on Saturday December 4. How many North Bay peeps do we have to worry about waking up early? Should we make the ride 9 or 10 am start?

for those who want to go from NorthBay. I have a Suburban that can haul people and wheels. I don;t mind leaving at 7 for a 9am start time. I need to be back about 4-5 in the evening for a family deal. Any NorthBay(Santa Rosa area) riders should sing out or PM me and we'll get it figured out. How long do we think the ride will be?

Is it Friday yet?

OK, let's shoot for a 9am start at the Gilroy "Hunting Hollow" entrance.

Hope to see more positive replies soon!

Im in. Carpool options to follow?

Carpool options to follow?

Absolutely!

Anybody desiring to join a carpool from East Bay locations should post what locale they're in so we can figure that out. JRM and I as well as others have SUVs and mini-vans and we're pretty spread out.

Grover has offered to drive a carpool from Santa Rosa as he also has a big SUV.

I'm in

and I'll send out some emails to some riding buddies. Hopefully they'll all go as well

Well, since that day is our annual public relations event of the Modesto X-mas parade (besides the fact that I'm really out of shape now) Coe is not on my list of things I"m able to do.

But of the dozens of times I've been there, I have to wonder why you're not going in via the main entrance and doing the really sweet Middle Ridge and then add what ever miles you want to add?

I know some are counting on being out in hodesto for the parade. Middle Ridge is a good call. So when are you EVER going to get back in shape?

 

[george_da_trog]

i'm trying to decide if I should see specialist for this back thing. It just hasn't been the same.

OK, I'll pencil you in with a #2 easily erasable lead. Let me know if you're up to it and want to carpool Friday evening sometime.

You gotta make up yo mind where we are going to launch from
So far no takers on the Santa Rosa area carpool contingent. If that's the case I'm bringing the car. What's this about leaving Friday night? We camping and getting drunk around a fire the night BEFORE the ride?! That has possibilities
I'll just sleep in the Suburban I'm in!
When do we leave on Friday?

I've done that before, but no, not planning on a friday night of camping. Lets wait for some warmer weather for that.

Friday night was when I wanted EBrider to call me if he wanted to carpool on Saturday morning. Additionally, if you wanted to drive to my house in Pleasant Hill (right off 680) I would be willing to ferry you down to Gilroy.

 

[8Trak]

I'm pretty sure I'm in. I might bring a couple of friends (if we're slow as a group, we can split off), so not looking for a carpool yet. I'm leaving from SF in case these plans don't work out.

Boy, and I thought I was going to be able to get in some trouble for a change
You have a link to any Coe maps?

Middle Range?

http://www.coepark.org/directionsse.html

If we ride Middle Range, where is the launch point?

 

[Maniac]

Allow 3 hrs

I don;t mind leaving at 7 for a 9am start time.

My wife commutes to Milpitas every Wed. from Graton and it takes her about 2.5 hrs to get there, and that's leaving at 5 am. Coe is further down 101S so give yourself more time than you need, traffic is bad on 101S toward Gilroy right at hwy 85 junction.

Just a heads up, Coe is a great place to ride so don't missit!

Warning: if you do Middle Ridge, you start at over 2,000 feet and you will have to climb approx 3,000 feet at the END of the ride. This ride can be done in 3.5 hours, but can EASILY stretch to 5.5 hours due to fatigue or other problems.

Middle Ridge is definitely a fabulous ride, but so are the rides starting from hunting hollow. The advantage of HH is that if you find yourself at the point of exhaustion, you can just turn around and pretty much coast back to your car. However, if you start from the headquarters, you could find yourself walkin the last 3 - 5 miles. This park is much more demanding than anything else in the Bay Area, you gotta feel it to believe it.

Having said that, I'd be glad to do middle ridge if that's the vote -- it's a blast!

What a small world, I live in Forestville I'm figuring that on a Saturday morning it shouldn't be too bad, but thanks for the heads up. Where have you been riding locally lately other than Annadel? Do you know of anything out towards Occidental, etc?
PM me if it is hush hush and I won't tell anybody
BTW, you going on Sat? I may carpool if you want to hook up.
