I'll be there. I'm assuming you are bringing the 29er for me. Thanks - Eric

[tholub]

Yeah, you'll have Zippy, Joe will be on Phat Boy, and I'll be riding Lucky.

[joemarshall]

wow, basketball was cool fun and not as stupid an idea as you'd expect! It left me pretty aching, I think you have to twist your body a lot more than in normal riding.

I actually scored a basket or two which was a bit shocking.

I think there may have been a cunning change of plan yesterday as to the muni going to joaquin miller instead on account of it having a bit more techy riding and more people being able to go? I'm sure Tom will post the details.

Yes, we decided to ramp up the technicality and go to Joaquin Miller, the trickiest park around here. That changes the meeting place; we'll gather at my place at 10:00 AM on Sunday 11/13, and carpool up to the trail end at Woodminster Market. We should be at Woodminster at 10:30 or so. We'll set up shuttles up to the top, which will save us at least one climb up the hill, though in Joaquin Miller there's a lot of up and down to do, even if you shuttle.

Eric: We'll arrange a 24" MUni for you instead of a 29er. You don't want to be on a short-crank slick tire 29er in Joaquin Miller.

Those public transporting over, the MacArthur BART station is the closest; let me know if you're coming that way and we'll arrange a pick up (or just walk/ride to my place from there, it's about half a mile). The 51 bus stops at my street if you want to do that instead (coming from Berkeley).

There are lots of toys in Joaquin Miller, as well as fun technical trails. See you there!

ok, i'll be there. thanks for rounding up another muni. -eric

[joemarshall]

Cool, I'll get the bus there. See you guys Sunday.

Joe

[corbin]

me too!

I plan to be there too, and I'm bringing along Daytripper if he can make it. It'll be his first ride with any of us, I think. I have a spare MUni if one is still needed, but I don't have the minivan, so I'll leave it home if there are no requests. It's my old DM ATU, which was ridden by ThisGuyIKnow at MUni Weekend.

See you guys on Sunday!

Wow, this seems to be shaping up to be the biggest muni ride in Joaquine Miller ever. How many is this, 10?

I'll be there.

[tholub]

People who I believe are coming include:

Me
Joe
Eric
Sam
Mark
You
John Foss
Maybe Daytripper
Corbin
Jason
Chris

There could be others from Berkeley who haven't responded. Definitely a nice group!

[gerblefranklin]

Zack and Mike Middleton said they might come along, aswell. Unclear if they will, though.

I would be into riding tonite in sf or saturday evening-I'm am not feeling the desire to ride public transit and do have a few things I need to do Sat AM. Since being on the ride in berlkeley about a month ago I have been wanting to ride with a group again. Since the last ride I have laced a 29" hoop onto my profile and the frame allows for me to mount a 42C tire, Think I will be able to hang in JAQUIN miller with my 165's?..well hope to hear of a ride to the five and dime (510) or intrest in riding here in SF...

[tholub]

There are a few sections in Joaquin Miller where I'd feel pretty sketchy on a 29er, but overall it'll be fine with 165s.

My g/f needs a muni! She rode her stock 20" torker at CMW this year... if you could bring a bigger wheel for her that'd be skippy. Thanks!
