July 4, 2020 Saturday, 9am sharp: Kiss my ass covid19, Mines Rd -> Junction

[David 519]

In!

 

[NoTraffic]

Subscribed. Was at the Junction 3 weeks ago, I doubt they would have enough tables for the upcoming July 4 crowds. I vote for Berryesa, just need to find routes that have a porta-potty/bathroom as there are far and few with current restrictions.

 

[cheez]

Out- flying to Texas to pick up a new pickup tomorrow AM instead.

Porta potty? The green bridge parking has 1 restroom. Mehran ride comes to mind, ~50 bikes. Took almost an hour until everybody went. Not good at these times.

Mines and Hamilton are sooooo tempting for me

 

[Kabral]

Going to try and make this, I can't be a sure in yet. Hoping I can !

It’s a tie between mines rd and Berryessa.

What are the chances.

What are the chances.

Just a heads up , Some delays and construction on 128 right now esp by turtle rock . And the lake is full of all the people on Covid vacation. Lock down is very different out here ; it’s a bit of a free for all in the counties around the lake . It’s packed like I have never seen it. There has to be better and closer than Berryessa for the whole Bay Area !

Hey Dani!!:wave

I would select mines rd, but it isn’t all about me.

Opinions?

My next all day ride will be Berryessa. I do think Mines rd makes more sense. Discuss.

 

[Kendo]

Berryessa will likely be too crowded. Mines should be less so.

 

[BusaRydah]

I've been MIA. J, great to see you coordinating rides as always. I'll try and make it tomorrow, ride safe.

Last time we rode you had your white CBR1000RR.

 

[sleepy]

tie breaker vote for mines rd. see you tomorrow

 

[sprorchid]

Ok, I am calling it, Mines road to the Junction.

Everything has been updated in the 1st post.

I will be leaving from Peet’s at redwood re, Castro Valley, 9:30am sharp.

10:15am k/u at Bux, 223 S vasco rd, Livermore.

Due to poor cell reception out there, we will be using two way radios. Channel 7-4. I will be giving leads and sweeps radios for safety reasons. I am bringing a few, if u have a radio, you are welcome to bring it.

It’s gonna be hot, so bring refreshment.

 

[Kabral]

Two way radios? Like, breaker breaker we gotta convoy CB thing?

You know, Motorola walkie talkies, supposed to have a 20 mile radius, but on mines rd it’s more like 1/2 a mile.
It has come in handy in the past. You’ll see tomorrow, if you come out to play.

I might see you all at The Junction on my way back from Lick if my post crash refreshened up RZ behaves. I'm starting at about 9:30. Have a safe ride :thumbup

 

[sprorchid]

So there are about 5 barfers going to the junction.

I had to bow out do to lack of sleep and dehydrated.

Dave and Kevin on an R6 will he at the junction if u wanna ride back to 580 with them.

Cheers all and happy 4th!!!

 

[Kabral]

Good meeting and seeing you guys. Our group had to split up a bit due to a small spill someone had (no injuries and no major damages thankfully). I still ended up going to the junction. The ride back was extremely hot, probably not a bad idea to not go if you fely dehydrated. ALSO JACQUELINE I HAVE YOUR RADIO

 

[sprorchid]

Thanks for the update, and glad you all survived the heat.

Yun - if u come out for croissants, I’ll ride the ape.
