Re: Bay Area Fun Run in August
I may be around Saturday as well.
For Sunday, I suggest meeting somewhere along the 880/17 corridor at 8:45-9:00a and roll by 9:00-9:15a.
I don't know where all the South Bay folks are coming from so I'll just throw this out there and see if it sticks.
There is a Lowes near Coleman and 880 by the airport.
750 Newhall St, San Jose, Santa Clara, California 95110
Alvin and I would both be coming from the south near 85/17.
(or we can all go over to Alvin's house for the awesome breakfast he'll be preparing for all of us.)

Wish I could be there to meet all of you. I've got somewhere I have to be, but count me in on the next one. Plus, I'm picking up my new rims tomorrow!

Re: Bay Area Fun Run in August

The car stops but the pedal is very soft. Can't lock 'em up. Safety first...I'm out tomorrow. Have fun!
Nice to have met new member Allan today and at least got a short ride in.
