SF to SJ Ride! When are y'all free to do this?!?!?!?!

[Jeff ES EF]

So the guys were talking about doing a train-up and SF to SJ ride back to catch the tailwind. Let's all do this for those who want a nice day's worth of riding and sightseeing! It would most likely be an all-day thing fasho! But here are some possible dates for this happening: May 19 or 20 if at all possible. Or just any Saturday or Sunday. We's gotta get some planning done!

IN, but whomever is coming along for the ride should be able to ride 60-70miles (depending on the route we take).  this means that your legs, your arms, and especially your butt should be ready to be on a bike for about 4hours, this course is superflat, but you still need to be in shape for the distance.  at least there are alot of places to stop, rest, eat/drink along the way, but don't come if you aren't used to longer distances!

[AlvChen]

Superflat?  Forget that.  Anyone up for taking skyline back??  

[Jeff ES EF]

I'll be needing padded bike shorts. Yeah! Sthpandexthhhh!

[climbarock]

shorts? BIBS my friend! BIBS!

[JellyMeetsJam]

So I ride five miles to school five miles back in additon to random rides and the group ride but I've never been on anything nearly this long. I feel like I'm in decent shape, but not sure if I'd be able to keep up. Thoughts?

[Citify]

Im down!

[Jeff ES EF]

Switch out them chainrangs and go crazy on them gears!

[climbarock]

I know I can ride over 70 miles with gears. Not sure if riding fixed is the same, then again, I'm sure this ride doesn't have 5k' of climbing.

So I have a couple weeks to learn eh? Took the Kilo to work today, fell off the bike trying to get on the bike. I'm so wearing a helmet tomorrow.

[Citify]

Yea its all flat but if you are in fairly decent shape, you should be able to do it. Tinaballs has done this ride before and she's a hipster. haha. :)

[thyna-mao]

Yeah, if Tinaballs can do it.....
J/k plan on major butt sore if you're not wearing :PADS: Shorts that is. I'm In.
Do bring some Nanas and a some salty snacks.

JinWS...put a freewheel on that thing JUST in CASE, I wish I did the first time we did this ride.

[Jeff ES EF]

So as for when this ride is going to take place...let's all figure out when can be a good day we can do this ride! Check my first post for suggestions! I'm thinking that people may want this on a weekend, but I'm not too sure! When y'all free?!

[Citify]

Thyna is right. Bananas and Salt packs for cramps. :)

[tinaballs]

hahah shut up! yes i've done it before but you gots to give me some credit because it was my first day on the 42/15... that was a big increase from my 42/18


lets do this sometime!

[thyna-mao]

All kiddin aside, you deserve credit for making it all the way. You know we alls gots love for you.

[Citify]

PROPS!

[Maurice]

If I'm free I'd be down for taking skyline back or riding up skyline there and back with the group

[Jeff ES EF]

That is...if we find a day to do this! Come on guys, Thinkkkkkkkk!

[Maurice]

...actually there's no way I can do this in late may
there's a road race like every weekend.

[thyna-mao]

Yeah, late may means I'm on call for one weekend of the month...so maybe something early April.
