Please read The Pace linked here.
How interesting that on this ride to honor Andrew the link to this information is a post he made!
1.) When you come to this ride, I expect you to have read and understand what the author is trying to convey. I also expect you to respect other's "space" and safety by applying what Nick Ienatsch is saying. It works, folks, and works well if everyone takes a moment to think and apply until it becomes a good habit.
Stagger on the straights...single file in the twisties, 2-3 seconds spacing.
2.) Since I know the guy who is organizing this ride, I'd expect a safety lecture around 10:15 before we mount up.

It's been a year now, less a few days. It often seems a lot longer, but sometimes memories of riding with him seem like they were only a couple months ago. He got his '05 within a month of me getting mine, and at the time, we were living on opposite sides of the Sierras. I imagine everyone here was taken by the ride reports he used to put up -- the art, emotion, spirit in the pictures and narratives he'd post of rides. He raised the bar, and I think ride reports on this site got better from his influence. That pic you posted from the calendar, Richard; I think that trip's images are the ones that most transported me even though I wasn't on that ride with him. A true classic of a report, and that pic is classic Andrew. Like madmike, I can hardly ride by an old barn anymore and not remember Andrew.
I'm maybe more conflicted about his last day than I ever was, except to still know how sad it was and how much I and we had obviously missed. FWIW, there's a waterfall where he died, though it was dry that day. I've been by it a couple times recently. There are rocks underneath the water. But there's a sense of life and beauty in the water that flows over those rocks now -- like the part of him that he shared with us. Or at least, that's the way I choose to see it. I'll be thinking about him as we ride Saturday.

The forecast.....
Saturday: Cloudy with periods of light rain. High near 65F. Winds SSW at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 70%.
The roads will be clean...but there will be pine needles in the low spots and apexes. A good time to be really really smoooooth.
And it will certainly be understood if those coming some distance decide to NOT.

Hey George,
I'm leaving at 0500 Saturday, will stop and get breakfast on the road somewhere. Sunup is approx 0545, so only a little darkness to ride through.
If you want to leave that early, we can hook up near Shandon or something!
