End address: San Francisco Wharf

Pace: Mellow to spirited. will have 2 groups depending on the need for faster groups

Meeting Date and Time: Sunday, October 18, 2009 at 10:00am

Kick stands Up (KSU): Sunday, October 18, 2009 at 10:15am (If there is a big turn out expect to leave 10-15 mins after to fit into a group or 30 mins to finish your coffee.)

Groups: No more than 7 people per group including leads and sweeps. Any volunteers who have experience leading and sweeping?

Length of ride: thats a good question..it'll probably be over 60 miles

You: Leather Jacket + leather gloves (mechanix gloves is a no no) or more if you prefer but you will not come riding in sandals and/or shorts which also includes your 2-up partner in the back seat. A good attitude and any motorcycle. Cars are welcome but they will stay in the very back to sweep. I will be there in full gear which includes textile pants, leather jacket, leather gloves, and boots.

Bike: Tire Pressure is checked and filled if necessary and you have more than enough tire tread to make it through this ride. Bike is in mechanically sound condition.

Regrouping: We will have predetermined spots to stop and if you feel you need to move up/down a spot, please notify your lead and sweep in your original group then arrange to move up/down a group with the other lead and sweep.

Route: Highway 9 to 35 to skeggs point to point lobos to the fisherman's wharf

see you there :thumbup:

I don't have a route really. Its not my ride but a ride I will be leading or sweeping. leading or sweeping the mellow group or sweeping the faster group.

We'll take the freeway back to san jose once we reach SF wharf. it'll probably take 2 hours to get up there and 40mins to get back.
