Hey, you will be in the 'queen seat' (#2) so everyone will be behind you except the lucky leader!

It never fails that days picked for runs/event are already busy - found out I am indeed committed to an all day thing, with hope I can make it home early enough and not be too tired to get back out again.

I'm invisioning a large rear window graphic with the rear wiper removed and a 007 type barrel sticking out that shoots some type of " yellow goo" that will certainly make drivers think twice....
The idea is great but, Mud flaps might not get the message across.

I'd like a 360 degree EMP or some such thing so you could kill everyone's cars ahead of you, then bob and weave through the stalls at high speed, a la War of the Worlds...

Nikki was in forth position. If she would have fired, it would have blown a hole in he back of my ride.

Hey don't worry about the hills, if I am behind you I will just nudge you up them. My front bumper is all scuffy anyway from parking in the City.

SF midnight run

In the future, anyone interested in doing the SF 49 mile scenic route? I've lived here for more than 15 years and I still haven't done it. Would be fun to do it as a group.

I've done parts of it... of what signs I could find.

The latest AAA "Via" magazine has a 2-page pseudo-map of the 49mile drive.

Hi Glenn!
I got in touch with Brian a couple weeks ago and he said it would be a "game-time decision." They want to see how they feel after the day's labors before committing to riding with us. So... if you're at the PP on Saturday, lobby those boys to come out 'n play!

I've driven the 49 mile drive a few times, and cycled it scores of em. As much of it as I saw, anyway, towards the end it gets a little fishy and I tend to make my own way back... but it's a good one for a day when there isn't much tourist traffic. Which is January 12, 2045
