Mellow Group Rides started in 2008!

Meet Place: Starbucks, 6009 Snell Ave, San Jose, CA 95123
Meet Time: Sat, 9AM, KSU 9:30AM 10/25/14 (Please be on time)

Planned in-route lunch spot: Somewhere in Coalinga.

~~~NEW RIDERS NOTICE: THIS IS A LONG RIDE!~~~
~~~SEE DETAILS~~~



Things to know:
  • Arrive with a full tank of gas. We are meeting at a gas station. Easy fill up there.
  • Make sure your bike is in good operating condition. (Chain lubed? Check tire pressure?)
  • As usual we will break into groups depending on who shows up (to accommodate varying skill levels) if necessary.
  • Everyone is expected to ride within their comfort level.
  • Safety is our priority.
  • Experienced riders who wants to ride a mellow pace are always welcome.
  • Volunteers for lead and sweep always welcome and appreciated.
  • We will be making several planned stops to regroup and stretch any sore legs.
  • All riding levels are welcome, Mellow pace required. PM or post if you have concerns.
  • If you arrive after the pre ride speech, you must ride in the last group until the first rest stop.
  • All riders are expected to have a basic understanding of our planned route.
  • Bike must have 100+ mile fuel range.

  • We will NEVER have a “A pace” group. Drag knees? No. Find a different ride.
  • You can't ride without getting an 'achievement award'.... Find a different ride.

Route: (approx 280 miles, 6 hours seat time + Pit stops)

NOTE: This is a long ride! We will be riding mellow, but won't be making as many stops as normal. If you can't ride 50 miles without stopping, this ride may not be for you. It should be warm. Bring a bottle of water!! (Currently is is going to be a high of 85 on Sat. Thats pretty cold for Coalinga!)

I'm probably in as well.
 
Let me rephrase. Will you cancel the ride if it rains Sat morning?

Right now, no not going to cancel. Rain is up north. We won't see it till maybe on the way home, later Sat night.
 
With our drought, I HOPE it rains, and I'm not even going to pack my rain suit. For once, I'd be more than happy to ride soaking wet!
 
Looks like light rain if any at meet spot, rest of the day dry :party :ride
 
Just went to Shell to get gas. It is raining on and off all morning. Radar also not looking good. I will pass on this although I haven't done Los Gatos Rd in a while and wanted some Mexican food for lunch.
