Hi All,

If your taking some time off this week, join us on the Tuesday Coffee ride,
tomorrow.

We are leaving from the normal start location and heading out to Moraga via
Redwood Rd. & Pinehurst, then into Lafayette for coffee. From there the ride
follows this route: Mt. Diablo Blvd. to Olympic to Tice Valley Rd. to Crest to
Hillgrade to Danville Blvd. (turns into San Ramon Valley Blvd.) over Norris
Canyon to Crow Canyon and back to The start.

The ride is about 45 miles long and we will be back by 12:30pm.

Cheers,

Bill C.

Whole length from the school is right around 6 miles. Average grade 2-3%.

During yesterday's Calaveras Ride, the subject of online mapping resources came
up, here are the ones that I know of for the club's reference:

http://www.bikely.com
a bit slow at times, but free, and can create a rudimentary automatic cue sheet
(with directions like turn NE on xxx rd) when you draw your route. Elevation
data seems to match the elevation data I get on my gps more closely than other
mapping sites.

http://www.ridewithgps.com
my current favorite starting point for drawing maps. Automatic cue sheet
creation with real turn directions (turn Left on xxx rd). Elevation data is
about double that of bikely, so it makes some pretty impressive elevation gains
to look at. Like the elevation chart on this one the most (not to be confused
with the elevation gain data).

http://www.mapmyride.com
Fast, but they try to sucker you into paying for a membership. For this reason,
I don't use the site anymore, except when other sites have been down.

http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/
This one I've never really liked, but its out there, and am including it as a
reference.

For a comparison, I drew the route for the Calaveras ride yesterday on
ridewithgps and bikley

Half Moon Bay Ride

Come join Susie for the Half Moon Bay ride. Meet at 8:15, roll time is 8:30AM. Route sheets will be left on the hood of her white Lexus SUV or a Red Dodge Caravan for those running late. This is a 56-60 mile loop with about 5000 feet of climbing. Please be self sufficient as there is NO sag support. Also, you need to be comfortable with riding at your own pace even if it means you are cycling by yourself. Meet at the south end of Main St. near the fire station; corner of Main St. and Higgins Canyon Rd. Susie, aka Bumpster, will be riding even if there is rain. Ride canceled only with tropical storm conditions. It is time to develop the Doubles mentality.

Contact: Susie Bump at 650-995-6453.

Joint Ride with Team Alameda

Paradise Loop
This is a scenic ride across the Golden Gate Bridge through Sausalito into Tiburon with many views of the bay. The route is mostly flat except getting to the bridge and out of Sausalito. If the Blazing Saddles tourist can do it, you can do it too! There will be an easy pace for novice riders and a faster group with a hillier option into Tiburon. Ferries from Tiburon and Sausalito are also available. Both clubs will be carpooling to Sports Basement at the Presidio in San Francisco where the ride will begin. Dress in layers. The mornings are chilly.

Meet at 8:15 am in front of Kaiser Permanente at 2417 Central Avenue, Alameda near the Park Street intersection across from Tutti Melon. Take the 23^rd exit from 880 north to get to Park Street. Rain Cancels. Bring water, snack and $ for food, ferry, BART

I will be at Petsmart at the Bayfair Shopping Center 7:45 AM to coordinate carpooling and a convoy to Alameda.

Contact: Vicky Ma chinamite57@... or 510 813-6690

Shopping opportunity for the ladies.
Bumpster

Eva has volunteered to be leader for this ride.  So, y'all come out for a great
ride!

Hi all,

I twisted my ankle a couple weeks ago and won't be able to lead the ride this
Sunday.  Would someone else be able to step up and lead it?  I have the route
sheet prepared.

Hi All,

I have been storing the club's banners & shade canopy at my home for the last 5
years. I won't be able to store them any longer. Anyone have some extra space?
They don't take up a lot of room, the banners are in boxes, the canopy is in a
canvas bag. I can drop them off at your home. If there no takers, I will drop
them off at the club meeting Wednesday evening.....
