I know it's late notice. But I want to ride, damnit! Here's the scoop:

WHAT
Ride. Ride some more. Maybe eat something. Then ride even more.

WHEN
Sunday, 15 June
Leaving at 10AM.
Leaving Tambucks
 at around 10:30 AM.

WHERE
Definitely Marin county, but we can chat about the exact route tomorrow.

WHY
If I have to tell you this, you shouldn't be allowed to own a motorcycle or a computer...

WHO
desmoquattro

...anyone else?

But seriously: folks who ride at all paces are welcome. The faster guys will pull over and hang out at turnoffs so we can regroup. Everyone (except squids) is welcome!

I was thinking very hard about doing this ride, but I've got a 100 miler on the pedaler coming up and figured I'd better start logging some miles on it instead of goofing off on the motorcycle.   It will be a very long and uncomfortable day if I don't train a little.  cheeky  That and I'm trying to play it safe before the wedding.  With my luck I'd hit a big tree root in the road while going in a straight line, minding my own business, go ass over tea-kettle, and wind up breaking both hands or something.  And that would suck.  A lot.  Trust me.  I know this.   cheeky

Ah, the old tree-root-crash dodge, eh? I remember that one...

Oh yeah...good times.   laughingdp  It's been a few years since then.  Did you know that that's been the only time I've ever fallen on the street while not in a parking situation?  My only at-speed crash and I don't even have a good story for it!  cheeky

Oh dude, you had to go to Hawaii?, Awwww, that sucks. Feel better.  cheeky

Sorry i missed it too. I sat in the back of a VW Van tipping side to side 3 hours on the way to Bolinas and back wanting to  vomit. Those things need to all get ground up and turned into cans for cat food.

So, Pictures? Tam, HI?

I would have gone but the police in Oakland have banned motorcycle usage on the street so I would have never made it there Cheesy

Actually I was out taking pictures.
