Saturday Morning (7/15) Rockvill Ride

imridingmybike said:

I'll be heading out to do a rockville run Saturday morning.

The usual 10 miles or so - but as you know, it's technical and a ton o fun.

I hope to beat the heat and be back by noon or so.

Will be leaving from Walnut Creek around 7:30.

Lemme know if yer down... dan'ger, ebrider, larry, etc....

So, you're sure you wouldn't rather come down to Garin park and help us out with some trailwork down there instead? That's where I'll be. We're terribly short handed.

Or maybe you'd rather go to the Fairfax hoo-ha or the Cougar Mtn hoo-ha or the Downieville hoo-ha?

Damn there are just too many things going on on Saturday...

Not likely.

Carrie has a race this weekend in Napa and she wants to root around Napa Sat afternoon to check stuff out.

I'll barely be able to get out of the house for the Rockville run.:madman:

Damn! I have another ride planned but I have to be in Green Valley Saturday late afternoon anyway. I *might* be in. 7:30 would work I have to take wifey to the Oakland Airport at 6:00 am Sat and I should just be there right around the start time. Do I flake on the other ride and do this since I have to be in GV anyway, or stick to the Marin ride Looks like I've got myself a conundrum fo'sure!

I'll let you know in a few days.

I just might be there for this. My MTB skillz are lacking a wee bit. This just may be the ride I need to get them back.

Cool, dude!
Looks like you and Melt are Fo Sho and JPS a Maybe?

8:30 start time. Carrie will absolutely crush my nueticles with a rolling pin if I am back later than noon. I figure start at 8:30 - and ride till 11 or 11:30? That should give us plenty of time to do all the fun stuff, practise the technical stuff and take pictures of the local indigent populace.

Whadya say?

Can I get an Amen? Sounds like a plan. Since I have to get up at the god awful hour of 5:00 am Saturday to take wifey to the airport I'll head to "The Valley Cafe" in Rockville for a nice stack of flapjacks in case anyone wants to join me. I should be there around 7:15 or so.

Mmm this sounds intriguing. An 8am start sounds early enough to beat most of the heat and allow me to get there on time from San Jose without getting up at too ridiculous of a hour.

I was contemplating racing at the CM classic, but since I've had zero practice I may just go and spectate after this ride which is sort of on the way.

Anyway, I'll be on a Turner 5spot and try to meet the group ~815am at the parking lot

I am up for another one soon.

also bailing ... 2am just got home from work i was rafting down the american in sac all day yesterday and i been having these night shifts and school from 8a - 2p all week so i needa sleep ... prob go ride skyline saturday afternoon before work sat night depending on when i wake up

i remember when i was just working and no school and i was out mtn biking 3 - 4 days a week ... damn i miss those days. Seems like i been down to 1 day per week all summer (me and a buddy ran annadel last friday though it was awesome, finally starting to build up some dust so south burma isnt quite as rocky and has some flow on the decent)

Great ride!

I got back by noon, and neuticles are intact!

Send me pics when you can.

:thumbsup:

Glad to hear everything is still attached! Hope Carrie did well today! (and Steve too) Such a fun ride. I always forget how fun Rockville is. I am ready to go back!

Yo dawg - they are too big to email. I'll toss them on my FTP site tonight when I get home and email you the info. I think they are around 68 megs.

(The movie turned out pretty cool on the big screen I'll add that as well.)

Hope D'ville treated you nicely.

Peace!
