February 12, 2012 9:30 AM. 15 attended.
South side - Sweet Water & Salmon Falls (the slow and pokey way)
Meet at Starbucks on the N/E intersection of Green Valley Rd & Francisco Dr at 9:30 am. There are two Starbucks in this shopping center. We're meeting at the main one by the waterfalls (not the one in the Safeway). Parking is limited at the pipe gate, so we'll need to carpool to the Sweet Water trailhead, which is hard to find if you don't know were it is (on Salmon Falls Rd about 4-miles north of Green Valley Rd). The ride will start at 10 am.
This is NOT a beginner ride. This ride is for strong beginners and intermediate riders. The entire intended route will be about 10-15 miles depending on how we are doing. The trail can be very strenuous and technical in a few places.
Please bring a bike in good mechanical condition, spare tubes (no patch kits), plenty of water and snacks. Helmets are required.
Please call me if you're running late or have any questions Phred [masked] or Terry [masked]

I can take 2 bikes and 5 people plus gear in my jeep if someone else has a tech to haul bikes.

Terry, thanks for the email. I'd like to go, but think I'll probably do Daphni and Larry's ride in Ione. I need to get road miles in for Pardee Party.

Anyone want to carpool from Rocklin/Roseville/GB area? I have room for 2 extra bikes or I can give you cash for gas if you have room for me. It doesn't matter to me.

BTW, several of those who have RSVP'd are also going to MBO in July. May want to take the opportunity chat (or not) during the ride.

@ Mario - Make sure you tire yourself out on Saturday's ride, so Sunday will be a "recovery" ride for you and we'll have a chance to keep up with you :)
