Fri 5/29 - FFFF Skyline?/Colmaway? - 0630 - RRR - Style 4 NRLB

[Jeffrey Skokan]

Well it's Bike to Work Month and the last Friday!  This time the first F in FFFF stands for whatever you want it to stand for (i.e. Final, Fifth, Fabulous, Fantastic, etc...).  Come join us for a nice, casual, no-rider-left-behind (NRLB) ride down the peninsula!  

Route:

TBD by popular demand.  Just keep in mind that a Colmaway is about double and a Skyline is about quadruple the elevation gain of a Bayway.  When you +1 make sure to list your choice for either Colmaway or Skyline.  This ride is for everyone; so, if we get a couple or more votes for Colmaway, Colmaway wins. 

Rollout:

Ritual Roasters @ 6:30 AM (sharp)

1026 Valencia St., San Francisco, CA 94110

Some Notes:

1. My final destination will be somewhere between Redwood City and Google depending on work commitments.  Extra sweepers welcomed!
   
2. This is a NRLB ride but please know your limits. If you haven't ridden more than 20 miles on a bike, it is highly recommended that you join a BART to Millbway group to cut down a few miles & a couple of little hills at the start. Rolling average speed on Bayway FFFF rides are usually in 15ish mph.
   
3. Come early to Ritual Roasters like 6:15 if you need a coffee or pastry as there will be a long line.
   
4. If you wanted to ride fast, please call a separate ride as this will be a friendly ride to encourage & welcome newbie riders to join our group.

Hints and Tips:

- inflate and check tires the night before

- bring a spare tube, make sure it is the right kind for your wheels

- know how to fix a flat tire, bring necessary stuff (tire irons, pump or CO2, etc.)

I’m planning to ride Skyline on Friday at a relaxed pace, but it won’t be Style 4. I’ll probably see you all out on the road at some point, though.

You're absolutely correct on the route, Patrick. Plus, Skyline Drive as well instead of Skyline Blvd.

+2 for skyline, heading to SJ. Will join for Colmaway if that route wins though. 

Cheer - Jjp

[Joe Dahlquist]

+1 skyline

Jeff, are you planning on taking Alemany?

[Jeffrey Skokan]

Well it's almost 8:00 and the votes say, "SKYLINE!"  It will be a Friendly Hipster Skyline.  To answer Jason's question, the route will leave Ritual and proceed to San Jose Ave and Alemany to JD/S.  I think we can make a JD/S intercept between 7:05 and 7:10.

See y'all in the morning!

I will roll from Cafeto around 640 to make the intercept at 705ish.

I'm getting good at this flaking, unfortunately. I've got a friend in town, we went out for drinks, and I'm still up at this hour. Gonna sleep in, though I could be up for a yawyaB ride in the afternoon if there's a ride call. My buddy, Steve, I think will still make the 6:30 RRR rollout.

Flat on Alemany. Well be a little late.

[Jeffrey Skokan]

I hope everyone had a great ride!  I know I did! :D  There was an even dozen of us riding through the mist and fog making our way to SAT, bottom of SCT and beyond.  Thanks! Sasha and Jason for the help leading and sweeping.  Despite my tardiness and the flat we did great for a FFFF Skyline; definitely in the style 3 range.  It was great seeing everyone and meeting a couple of new ones.  I'll be calling a Friendly Skyline (style 3) for Friday, June 12, and encourage all of you to join that ride if possible. 

[Jason Terk]

I appreciate your characterization of my slowness as sweeping help.

 

Great ride this morning - thanks for calling, Jeff, and thanks to everyone else for coming out.

Forgot to mention...  If you are getting back to San Francisco this evening, you might want to join the group for "Ales on Rails" (see posting).  It is probably the most fun way to commute back home!

[Patrick Lea]

Are you implying it is better then fighting the headwind for 2-3 hours to get home?

Well that's a whole other category of fun, but this way you can have a civilized conversation and enjoy a nice cold beverage with friends.

[Joe Dahlquist]

Big thanks to Jeff for leading all the FFFF rides this month!
