Continuing the week of "not-quite-Skyline" Skylines, anyone interested in an East Bay Skyline on Friday? My plan would be to BART to Rockridge and follow the usual route (Tunnel->Skyline->Pinehurst->Redwood) as far as Castro Valley, then continue down Redwood Road through downtown Hayward and on to my office by the San Mateo bridge. For the rest of you continuing south you could do the classic Palomares route, or follow me and do the southern half of the east-bayway.

On Friday I was gonna call a slacker rollout, since I'll need more sleep. So I don't think I'd be up for this, sadly, but don't let that stop you!

I'm tempted. Friday looks pleasantly cool in oakland. Tentative +1, depending on time and stuff. I'd do Palomares (which I've never done) and then alameda creek + dumbarton.

I'm riding Palomares Saturday as part of a larger thing if that intrigues. Write me offlist?

Nathan,

Great call! You meant this Friday 5/20 right? 6 years in SF2G and not for once I have tried the East Bay Skyline nor I know the route :)

I will definitely join you for this ride this Friday if you call for a early rollout like 6:30 or an even earlier BART.

Ramesh.

I'm interested. Likely I will BART to the SF office after for a most gratuitous commute.

Yes, sorry, that should be 5/20.

I'll post an official ride call with BART timing tomorrow once I'm certain
this won't cause any work or family issues. It will need to be an early BART
- looks like last time I did this, we started riding from Rockridge at 6:30.

Ugh! Sorry Nathan :(

I have just been scheduled to interview someone on Friday morning and I have no power to say no for this. I hope others can join but I would be down for Middle East Skyline for some other Friday though.

Assuming we leave Rockridge at 6:30, probably by 10:30, but I'm not really sure. I'd guess it's around 3:30 moving time from Rockridge, based on a ride from 2 years ago that had me at 2:35 from Rockridge to Union City BART. You can cut at least 30 minutes of that by doing the east-bayway instead of Palomares, although Palomares is a great road. Traditionally this route has included a stop at Bodi's Java House in Castro Valley which can add 30 minutes of social non-moving time.

Sure sounds like fun - alas, 10:30 is on the very late end of things.

-1; I looked at how long the route is and how my legs feel and concluded that even 10:30 is an optimistic ETA.

OK, we'll save this for another day.

Although, I could be convinced on a later roll-out, with the ride ending at Castro Valley or Hayward BART, if that's of interest to Yvonne or anyone else.

I want to do this! As it happens, tomorrow wouldn't have worked for me, but let's call one next week?

re: time and effort, it's comparable to HMBW, though I end up feeling less tired after this one.

Only day that works for me next week is Thursday. Would that work for anyone else? The week after is more open, but of course that's no longer May.

Next week is 5d1w.HMB including the awesome HALF MOON BARWAY on Friday. Do keep that in mind :)

Oh, and the week of May 30 does have a May commute day (May 31).

So, is there interest in doing an East-Bay Skyline on Tuesday the 31st?

I can't do really long rides on Tue / Thurs any more, sadly. And Monday is a holiday.

I'd be down for Wednesday, though that wouldn't fit in May. Feel free to go ahead with the Tues plan if others are up for it though.
