BTW, guys, the Luxury Hotel'n'Gas at the Rice offramp was bulldozed about 6 months ago.

The meet point shown here:8:00a meet point is a little ways away from the former Luxury Hotel'n'Gas, and it's a Mobil station, right?

i hope that's the address for the gas station behind the former shady motel 'cause that's what i meant.  ;D

That's the correct street address for the Mobil station, per my Streets'n'Trips software.

Just didn't want your schedule to get farked with folks getting confused.

I got the ok nod from the wife.

I'll try to close up the shop early, and leave from work. I'm about 45 min from Taft.

So if you guys/gals will be in Taft at high noon.... Im in.
Gaspar, Melchior and Balthasar kicked me out of the band..... they said I didnt fit the image they were trying to project. 

So I went solo.  -Me

any objections to lunching in taft to wait for joel?

adding lockwood/cerro to the route should put us in town around then anyway.

Derby- Is the route you have posted there the one you we are using?  Or does it need updating?  Julia and I need to decide what we are doing.  I think we migt somehow round out your loop in SB Saturday night then head home Sunday morning.  Not sure yet though.  If the route needs updating please lemme know so I can show it to her.

..actually i remember it being a SHELL station but i might be wrong...anyhow, if you are riding from RICE, you will be going acrass the 101 on an off ramp. The said station will be on your left...cant miss it...

if you are riding on the 101 going north, the exit is RICE ave/ SANTA CLARA...the station will be on your left...

check out the STALLITE map, it will give you a much better visual :)

For the record the station in question was the one included in Derby's original route. It is not the bulldozed one but the one down the street as pointed out by speeddog.
