[*]Women! (HYCLE, we're gonna need Terri to make it.)

Sorry to disapoint you but Terri, is taking her motorcycle saftey course that weekend. She is in the morning session at Vallejo, CA.

Where did you plan a lunch stop? Perhaps we could catch up with the group in the afternoon.

I'll join you. Should be an awesome day. I have always wanted to tour SF on the FJR.

Will there be photo ops? I know San Francisco is a dreary place.

I am meeting up with Dr. Rich on the way in Fairfield at 0830 (Chevron station off I-80, West Texas exit). See you tomorrow! Adjust our arrival time to Starbucks in Walnut Creek accordingly. Thanks for the address. I will plug it in to my Zumo.

Hans: It looks like you get to sleep in on this one!

I adjusted the rendezvous time to 9:00 AM, so I can sleep in even longer!

It'll be a great day! Leisurely, take a lot of photos, see some great sights.

Thanks, all,

Hans

It'll be beautiful. Trouble is, that's a bit of a late start for you, OM. Maybe you could join us via a little detour through Humboldt. :blink:

Just a few bikes will be perfect for keeping together in the City.
