[DanTheMan]

Anyone up for a southbay jaunt? I got the morning free before i have to login for work

Roads are not newbie friendly. These roads are Goat Trails, tight, technical with lots of hair pin turns, some gravel, may be wet, bicyclists. If that appeals to you, lets ride.  [moto]





Pace: Your own! There will be designated stops to regroup.

Time: 9:15am leave at 9:30am be gassed and ready to go, no gas stops till Livermore ~80 miles

Gear: Please gear up!

Lunch: after ride at El Grullense 461 S Capitol Ave # 15

NO CRASHING! Save it for track days.
