DATE HAS CHANGED TO SATURDAY JUNE 1ST
Meet: from 9am June 1st @ Starbucks, 4490 Central Way #100, Fairfield, CA 94534
Kick Stands Up: 10am
Lunch: 12pm - 1pm @ Perry's Deli, 21308 Calistoga Rd a, Middletown, CA 95461
Finish: about 3pm or so @ Rockville Gas Station
We meet at Cordelia Starbucks at 9am, and leave the starting point strictly at 10am.We’ll do a gentle run up to Middletown via back roads for lunch then back. This is a Newbie ride. Experienced riders welcome as long as they realize it won’t be the usual Berryessa TT. Would be good to have some corner markers and someone who can run tail end and has a tire kit and tools.
There will be a briefing 15 minutes before we leave, so please do not arrive at the last minute. Leave with a good 15-30 minute buffer, please.
Date may change due to weather.

Please remember - this is a newbie friendly ride, so everyone is expected to ride a pace they are comfortable with, so expect wildly different levels of comfort between individuals. I'll hopefully have enough experienced riders to spot out those of you that need some help and get some advice to you. If someone gives you feedback on your riding, don't take it personally, we just want everyone to have a good time and learn how to ride without pressure.
If there's a bike event on, I'll switch to an alternate route on the day. Not doing that again :wow

Notes:
- Gas up at the station when you arrive in Cordelia. Make sure you leave so you have time to gas up, please don't make the group wait. I will be there at 9:00am because I need about a gallon of black coffee to be human.
- Make sure your bike is roadworthy.
- Please do not show up in street clothes.
- Pro tip: Before you leave home, try to poop. There are not many classy pooping locations between Cordelia and Middletown.
