Please get back directly to me if you can be a carpool DRIVER or carpool RIDER, and if you are a DRIVER, please let me know how many bikes you can take down to Saratoga for March 8th's Argonaut Death Ride with my ACTC mates. We need to BE ROLLING from Alameda at 8am, so if you a RIDER, you need to get down to Kaiser at about 7:45 so you can get loaded up on a car.
Not to under- or over-sell this ride, but it features very difficult and long and steep climbs, so if you have been riding with Brian and Jim on their MoFo climbing rides, join us to test your early season fitness on some longer climbs. Featured climbs include:
