Hi Folks,

I wanted to throw out this ride as a potential Saturday ride from the Inn
and back with a stop at the Marin Museum of Bicycling. At first glance it
looks like a formidable ride 32 miles and 6200' elevation but we have all
day to do this ride. I purpose we bring a lunch with us and eat out on the
trail. Of course not all are up for a ride like this. I encourage folks to
chime in with a plan "B" and "C" route(s) maybe a bail out on my route
where we all meet at a specific time at the museum for a tour and a really
mellow ride staying closer to the Inn.

Without further fanfare here's the route
.

Hi Corwin, I overlooked the postings you and Hugh had on the 12th,
sorry about that! Yes, still some room, although getting tight.

 The Entmoot/Jamboree two years ago was a fantastic, grass-roots event
 that everyone enjoyed and talked about for a while. It seemed like
 everything really fell into place (except I had to leave early) for a
 fantastic weekend. That enjoyable event got us thinking about something
 similar. We talked about it, but nothing came of it.

 Fast forward to last December when Hugh, Jim, and myself made a trip to
 the West Point Inn, and had a phenomenal time there celebrating Jacquie
 Phelan's (and Philip W's!) birthday. An absolute blast.  We can't recreate
 those moments, but we want to have another opportunity back at the Inn with
 any like minded folks to celebrate life, life on a bicycle, the historical
 context, in one of the most beautiful storied areas I can imagine. So with
 Jacquie's help we are hosting a SoCal/NorCal get together in June!

 We have reserved the entire facility for those two nights, and want to
 pack in as many people as we can. We hope many of you living in the Bay 
 Area
 that we don't get to visit can make it! Maybe even some people from out of
 the area can make it there as well (Looking at you, PDXers)!

 The costs are very reasonable. For the two nights, it is $2,400. If we
 can get 30 of us, it will be $80 a person. Throw in another $20-50 for
 Saturday night dinner and breakfast, and you're looking at a bit less than
 $150 at most for a unique two night experience in a very special (magical
 even!) place. I/we hope many of you can come.

 For those not able to do the whole stay, we are planning on a Saturday
 ramble of a ride, followed by the above-mentioned dinner.  Thinking the 
 Pine
 Mountain Loop, Repack to Fairfax to the Marin Museum of Bicycling back to
 the Inn. Plenty of alternative routes if someone doesn't want to do that.
 Just kind of a cool way to really take advantage of what the area has to
 offer.  So for sure, plan on being there for the ride and dinner! We'll
 figure out a cost per person for just the dinner, it won't be much. Won't
 even worry about it if it's just a few people, but hoping to get a decent
 sized group there.

 Dinner Friday night is potluck. Sat a.m. breakfast leftovers and
 communal pancakes or similar. Sat lunch on your own. Sat dinner provided.
 Sun breakfast leftovers/communal. Pretty low key. We're hoping to have some
 beer provided, but everyone bring a six pack or bottle of your favorite is 
 a
 way to do it as well.

 Sleeping arrangements are somewhere in the range of hostel level. Four
 to five beds per room. Bring sheets or a bag, clean your own room, do the
 dishes, sweep the floors arrangement. Not plush, but it ain't camping.

 Here are my pics from the weekend I was up there:

 Hugh's thoughts on the subject:

 Logistics to follow. Leaning toward collecting using checks vs. using
 Paypal. I can just sit on them and cash them all at once. For food 
 budgeting
 I'd rather go over a bit on individual cost and donate any excess to the 
 Inn
 (nonprofit) or to Charlie's medical expenses. Will be very transparent, but
 money is touchy of course. If we can't get to 30 people, the cost per 
 person
 will go up accordingly.

 Reminder that the Inn is a hike/bike facility only, and there is no
 on-site parking for guests (ADA access is available). Closest parking is at
 the Pantoll campground/day use area, two miles down the trail. I think
 parking is $8/day there.

 The only thing we ask is commitment. Nobody is prepared to go back and
 forth with figuring out refunds, wait lists, things like that. This is a
 labour of love sort of thing.

 So who's inn???

And we're lighting up the no vacancy sign! Every bed is accounted for,

Saturday is 114% an open ride, we hope many of the locals can come out and

A casual pace will be maintained!

Yes, definitely! Glad this topic came back around, I've been meaning to
talk it up a bit now that the date is closer.

Space for the whole weekend as well as the above-mentioned Saturday ramble.

Anyone who wants to commit with their hard-earned cash, just pm me at the

Beacon is just a few miles north of the academy,  on the other side of the 
Hudson River. I think we have enough of a Hudson Valley contingent, plus 
NYC Bobs are only a train ride away. Wait, getting my lists confused.

There should be some great possibilities in the Hudson Valley.  I've gotta 
get used to some new, high-end hip components, get back on a bike for the

THANKS for bring this up... I've been meaning to bump this post again. We
just had our twenty-third confirmation, with another pending. So room for
four for sure, maybe six if we go up to thirty. I'm REALLY excited about
the whole thing, as everything is falling into place... amazing! We have
the Inn covered, and full dinner cooked by Ms. Phelan planned for Saturday
night. I'm planning on getting enough people to also end up covering
breakfast supplies, but it will be more informal setting.

Please also consider coming up for Saturday shenanigans, whether you stay
for dinner or not. We're hoping to have a semi-organized ride to Fairfax
and touring the MTB Hall of Fame/Museum there. If you would want to just
hang out on Saturday, that is 110% just fine as well. In fact stay for
dinner, just kick something for a WP Inn donation. We should have enough
food, unless there is going to be a ton of you (let me know if there will
be a ton of you).

Bay Area denizens in particular, if you haven't been to WP Inn, this is
your chance to experience a really magical place with a bunch of great
people in our extended bike-family!

Not sure how I missed this thread. I'd love to join, probably only for the 
Saturday ride, and hopefully stay Sat night if there is still room.

The Saturday ride sounds...ambitious! I'll see if I can find some 42+ tires

then I will be all flab from no riding. Arhh! If I manage to heal 
up really quickly, I'll just hope that a slot is still open. Sigh ... And 
for those of you who are wondering ... no need to worry, the AHH came 
through without a scratch.  :-)

I've never been or ridden in the area, so feeling very intrigued. Working
out the logistics to see if I can make it, at least on Saturday for the

I'm in. December was fantastic. 
Even if you didn't ride more than the two miles from Pantoll, this would 
still be a great thing to do. Or, you could ride anywhere you wanted, and 
have a great base to come back to!
If you've ridden up Railroad Grade, you probably stopped at the West Point 
Inn for water, or a rest. You may have done that hundreds of times, and 
never even gone up on the porch. Now you can be the people inside the inn!

 The Entmoot/Jamboree two years ago was a fantastic, grass-roots event 
 that everyone enjoyed and talked about for a while. It seemed like 
 everything really fell into place (except I had to leave early) for a 
 fantastic weekend. That enjoyable event got us thinking about something 
 similar. We talked about it, but nothing came of it. 

 Fast forward to last December when Hugh, Jim, and myself made a trip 
 to the West Point Inn , and had a 
 phenomenal time there celebrating Jacquie Phelan's (and Philip W's!) 
 birthday. An absolute blast.  We can't recreate those moments, but we 
 want to have another opportunity back at the Inn with any like minded 
 folks 
 to celebrate life, life on a bicycle, the historical context, in one of 
 the 
 most beautiful storied areas I can imagine. So with Jacquie's help we 
 are hosting a SoCal/NorCal get together in June!

 We have reserved the entire facility for those two nights, and want to 
 pack in as many people as we can. We hope many of you living in the Bay 
 Area that we don't get to visit can make it! Maybe even some people from 
 out of the area can make it there as well (Looking at you, PDXers)!

 The costs are very reasonable. For the two nights, it is $2,400. If we 
 can get 30 of us, it will be $80 a person. Throw in another $20-50 for 
 Saturday night dinner and breakfast, and you're looking at a bit less than 
 $150 at most for a unique two night experience in a very special (magical 
 even!) place. I/we hope many of you can come.

 For those not able to do the whole stay, we are planning on a Saturday 
 ramble of a ride, followed by the above-mentioned dinner.  Thinking 
 the Pine Mountain Loop, Repack to Fairfax to the Marin Museum of Bicycling 
 back to the Inn. Plenty of alternative routes if someone doesn't want to 
 do 
 that. Just kind of a cool way to really take advantage of what the area 
 has 
 to offer.  So for sure, plan on being there for the ride and dinner! 
 We'll figure out a cost per person for just the dinner, it won't be much. 
 Won't even worry about it if it's just a few people, but hoping to get a 
 decent sized group there.

Well you know I'm in.

When the Entmoot/ Riv twentieth happened I'll never forget that high. Folks 
from near and far converging on China Camp (Grant, Will & Jenny handing out 
raffle prizes) was an event like the one's you have as a youth that become 
a personal high water mark. I recall lister Jim Warren mentioning to me 
that we should have a Rivendell celebration the following year at the West 
Point Inn (which obviously didn't happen) at the time, I was sure Jim. But 
in reality I really didn't know what that would be like and what kind of 
effort it would require...fast forward to this past December and helping 
Jacquie celebrate her birthday at the the Inn was/is down right amazing! 
There you are on top of Tamalpais with "Billion" dollar views (Inflation 
don't you know) of the East Bay and the City and dirt fire road heaven at 
the threshold of the Inn. Inside the Inn we all converge with like minded 
bicycle obsessed folk imbibing the history along with spirits and food, 
it's like being a drug addict chasing a high but this is a high I'll gladly 
chase any day. Let's make some memories.

June ain't coming fast enough! See you freaks on top of Tam and bring yer 
knobbies.
