10-6 SF East Bay ride

rojoracing53 · October 5th, 2012, 09:32 PM

I know this is late notice but two of us will be starting in Brentwood at around 7:00am tomorrow and riding Vasco-Mines-Juction-Del Puetro-Junction-Hamilton-calaveras-Palomares-Redwood-then back to brentwood. I know its an early start but I like the roads to myself so if you'd like to meet us in livermore at 7:30-7:45 at Mines/Tesla or at the Junction a bit later let me know where and when and Ill keep an eye for you.

How about it @Jiggles good time to break in those new leathers of your right?

Jiggles · October 5th, 2012, 09:35 PM

Oh man, I'd love to but thats way to early for me. 10am is more my style

Alex · October 5th, 2012, 09:43 PM

Hmmm.... tempting! I could be at mines/tesla by 7:30 - 7:45. I'll pm you my cell.

Damn lol, 280 miles eh?

I forgot you're a marathoner

Jiggles · October 5th, 2012, 11:31 PM

I'll be at The Junction at 10am

Alex · October 6th, 2012, 06:33 AM

We'll probably catch you on the way back from Del Puerto. First time we hit the junction it will be about 8:45, coming on the way back, it should be some time past 10.

Stamatos · October 6th, 2012, 09:00 AM

Sorry I missed this, you went right through my back yard. I'm still too scared to slow down a group ride anyway and like jiggles, that is a bit early for me on a Saturday. Hope you guys had a good, safe run.

Instead I slowed them down

Jiggles · October 6th, 2012, 03:14 PM

Awesome, I got some great footage of me going up Mt. Hamilton super slow since the sun was in my eyes, I switched batteries at the junction and the battery I put it, was apparently dead

I think I still got the squirrelicide on tape though, I'll have to check

Alex · October 6th, 2012, 03:21 PM

Loading pics now. Looking forward to video from your cam and Jason's cam.

Jiggles · October 6th, 2012, 03:29 PM

I got about a minute of footage after the Junction before the camera died and on the way up the sun + my less than clean windshield makes the video pretty unwatchable

And I didn't even get the squirrel on camera

Meh, oh well

Alex · October 6th, 2012, 04:11 PM

That was fun! Just under 200 miles for me, a little more for Jason & Cameron, a little less for Jiggles.

Meeting before 8 at the top end of Mines:

In front of the Junction, take #1:

In front of the Junction, after zipping out and back Del Puerto:

On top of Mt. Ham:

Food!

All pics are up in full resolution in this gallery.

Fun ride, folks! Thanks for calling it, Jason. Good meeting and riding with you all.

Jiggles · October 6th, 2012, 04:18 PM

I had a little over a hundred miles, and can you believe another camry nearly took me out? He was intentionally trying to hit me and only through some quick thinking was I able to make it out alive

rojoracing53 · October 6th, 2012, 06:29 PM

Just got back few mins ago so let me short through my 18GB of video and Ill post something up.

Thanks Alex and Sean for joining us today, another good safe ride in the books

rojoracing53 · October 6th, 2012, 08:13 PM

Here's a quick clip of me following Alex on Del Puerto Canyon Road heading back toward the Junction Station. Its still uploading but it should be done in an hour or two.

Jiggles · October 6th, 2012, 08:31 PM

Overnight upload? Woots.

Oh yea, when I rode him in my jeans, I was super stuck to the corbin, it was really nice. I wonder if I can add something to the back of those riding pants to make them stickier. Sliding into the tank just from engine braking is damn annoying

Hey! I think someone forgot to apply the filters to make me look faster/more leaned over/thinner/more virile.

Jiggles · October 6th, 2012, 09:35 PM

No hairpin footage?
