Re: SF Peninsula s24 overnight? was Re: [RBW] S24O: Crystal Cove, 6/27
hello, july 31st (as well as august dates) would work well. it looks like i can probably carpool to the start with my friend. caltrain would have worked well as far as public transport goes ... perhaps the start could be near one of those stops in case other car- less riders want to join. :) brooke On Jul 4, 3:25 pm, Christopher Paul wrote: > Greetings, > > August 9th I'm riding from Sunnyvale to San Luis Obispo.

Re: SF Peninsula s24 overnight? was Re: [RBW] S24O: Crystal Cove, 6/27
hello:) i would definitely be up for this in late july (after 7/22) (as would my romulus-owning friend who kindly pointed me towards this post). i'd prefer a start somewhat near public transportation as i am carless and live in berkeley. i've done several bike touring trips with my homer and it is such fun. :) brooke appler On Jun 17, 12:48 pm, Anne Paulson wrote: > I'm just finishing up the semester and haven't scheduled anything yet. > I'm thinking late July. > > > > On Wed, Jun 17, 2009 at 9:50 AM, erik jensen wrote: > > Has this gone off yet?
