Hey Danny,
Thanks for organizing this ride - it sounds awesome! I would have loved to come with but I have my best friend from Paris in town on Saturday.  Since he doesn't ride and doesn't have any gear to match all his lovely bling that he brings with him from Pareeeee, I don't think I'll have much luck persuading him to sit cupcake  [cheeky].  Have fun!!

Hey ,

I have solution for you if he agrees , give him SF map and drop him off in Piers area [laugh] , he will loves it  :)
Have fun.... [wine] [popcorn] [coffee]

If you want to link to a Google Map, you need to click the little "link to this page" link at the top right, then use the text in the first box. It tends to be really long, so tinyurl might be needed.

121 is an incredibly fun road. So is the section of 29 between Middletown and Calistoga, if you can catch it without traffic. I found last weekend that 175 between Clearlake and highway 101 is a great stretch as well. It was completely the opposite of the direction I meant to be going in, but it was 20 miles I didn't mind backtracking. :)

Danny, the link didnt work

I will try it again , if i can figure it out.

Thanks for info. of mapnet link knowledge , I will try .
These roads are so fun and twisty I rode there many time , I want to do it again tomorrrow.

Sorry...I'm committed to foothill shenanigans, otherwise I'd arrange a meet up.

Always have next ride , but i try to squeze much ride i can before summer will be over soon

Hope this work mang !

I'm going to be brushing up on my late braking and cornering skill with 9oz of lexan and carbon fiber covered foam on my head, while wearing padded undies.  [laugh] In other words, I'm going for a bike ride. [cheeky]

Hey, you try carving corners, at max lean angle, on a tire that's only 20mm wide, at 35-40+ mph! :o [thumbsup] Screw up, and yer  [bacon] [bacon] [bacon]!!!!

Have fun  [thumbsup] , is it illegal for 20 mm wide goes 40 + mph at twisty ?  [laugh]

Nope. But the time I hit 68mph, it was almost double the posted limit, and again on 20mm tires!!! Yes, it was a very steep, long hill.  Yes, it was quite unnerving realizing I was doing damn near 70mph in lycra!! :o :o

Im out for tomorrow morning.  My land lady is on my case to clean the garage.

I think I will be heading out to Marin in the late afternoon if anyone is interested   3pm maybe...

Damn, where was this? I've done mid-40s, maybe 50 on a honkin' steel touring bike with 32c tires, but 68? Yow.

Austin, Texas. Spicewood Springs Rd. 350' elevation change in a half mile. Got a good draft off of an SUV on the flat leading up to the hill, then just spun each gear out until all I could do was tuck. I was over 40mph just from the drafting!

man I had given up on finding any far east bayers on the the DMF nice to see you, next time you want to do a lake run hit me up I live here in Farfield always looking for some people to ride with

Sure I will give post up and PM  you for next time to ride around there.

I will keep a eye out for your posts   [moto]
