How many miles between the starting point and the first stop for petrol?  Do I need to top off just before I get to the initial meeting point?

From Tambucks to Pt Reyes Station is about 27 miles. So if you're on a Monster you'll be fine. If you're on a four-valver, you'll need to stop twice and siphon gas from others

From Pt Reyes, it's about 55-60 miles to the next gas.

Cool thanks!  I just topped off today after my ride, but from where I live to the meeting point is > 70 miles and I do not want to be that one person that has to stop for gas 10 minutes after the ride starts.

Cheers.

There's a gas station right at the meeting point.

Emanon, you won't need to take a passenger.  I think we've got it all covered!  Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow.

Emanon, you won't need to take a passenger...

Good thing because I just installed Sato rearsets on my monster and did not get the passenger peg attachments!

[mostrobelle]

No worries...I have a passenger seat if we need it. 

[Drunken Monkey]

Argh. I'm out. Wife and kids are sick and tomorrow we are still going to chuck-e-cheese later on in the day. 

Damn my kid and his third birthday, doesn't he know I have a ride to go on? 

[mostrobelle]

mmmm....not sure which is worse--going to Chuck E. Cheez or being sick.  Having to do both would probably prompt me to hang myself.

I wish that I was on this ride on such a beautiful Saturday.  Please post pics so I can live vicariously through the lucky ones on this ride.

[emanon]

Great ride!  Thanks for organizing it and for doing a nice job leading.

Thanks for a fun ride today everyone.  Great weather, no incidents.  Always good!

Cheers,

Wow--great showing.    I think we had 15 bikes and 17 people in the group.  Thanks to Enzo for leading the faster group and to the slow-group sweep, Tigre.  That is always the toughest job on a ride like this. 

A to BikerGoddess for bringing out the scooter.  I <3 me some scoots.  You are getting faster, lady, whether you choose to admit it or not.  Keep it up.  We like having you come out. 

Doing the group ride stuff is a little bit of work, but always worth it.  We were treated to an amazing day today weather-wise, too.  Looking forward to the next one.  Am thinking of an E. Bay or S. Bay run maybe in spring.  Actually, I owe Mr. I a S. Bay ride and that will probably happen in the next several weeks, depending on our schedules.  If he wants we'll open it up to the overall MoB.  Pace might be a bit quicker on that one depending on who shows up and what the roads are like.  

Say, does anyone know where the three riders went that left Enzo's group?  Wayne was among them.  Enzo went back to search, but found no one, so there wasn't a crash--just a route change as far as we can figure.  Can someone post up and let us know that you all got home OK?  And next time check in with someone before taking off.

Cheese Factory was my depart point, since we didn't stop I had to turn around and head out.  I made it home safely.  An otherwise great ride with fantastic weather and a great group!  An awesome way to kick of the first great ride of the new year!

Cheers,

Wayne
