2012-12-22 Thread Marc Schwartz 
Hey, howabout fenders in Southern New Mexico?

They dress up Ms. Giselle Bleriot, makes her look twice as classy (Woody's 
mahogany & oak).
When we do get some rain (an event to be celebrated), there are few things so 
intoxicating as a ride through the desert, standing water everywhere, the 
chamisa and creosote bush sending forth a heady perfume, fenders earning their 
keep, keepin' Giselle and Marcos clean, dry, happy, and lookin' swell!

Salud,

Well, I'd suggest Iron Horse to Canal Trail, and then cut through
Heather Farms Park and the Rancho San Miguel neighborhood to North
Gate Rd. Not only does it avoid traffic, it also gives you a glimpse
at one of the first modernist, Usonian-inspired sub-divisions.

Sounds great! We should plan a Marin ride also; maybe a Mt Tam climb?

Weather update: 52 degrees this morning, many clouds and heavy rain
forecast. Unsettled weather next week but looks like it may dry up for

Pleasant Hill BART at 0930 1-Jan-2013. Sounds like a plan.

Let's split the difference and say 9:30.  That way we can warm up and 
considering its following New Year's Eve, maybe some whisky would be in 
order in the am.  Anyway - Pleasant Hill BART station?

It was 30 degrees at 8 this morning in Walnut Creek, and 15 higher up
on Mt Diablo. I suggest starting at 10 am to give folks some time to
gather and for it to warm up a bit, but maybe 9 am would work too. RBW
will be closed, so meeting at BART might make the most sense. Pleasant
Hill BART is more bike friendly than Walnut Creek BART, and it's
adjacent to a MUP that can take us to the foot of the mountain with
minimal traffic.

Snow is forecast for the top of Diablo this weekend. I don't know the
forecast for Jan 1st yet, but you might bring tire chains just in
case.

Hey there Mr Thill!

Glad to hear you'll be landing in the Bay Area!  I'm north-bay-centric, so 
when you head into Marin County, lemme know!   We're dealing with a dying

Based on the fact that you said you're bringing your best mud bike, I can
