I can't make 3pm today. Have a few appts in Fremont. I'll try to make it Saturday though, pending a bike ride. :)

I've no idea. She's not the most athletic person (more of a girly girl without the $$$ tastes, used to be a dancer (not the exotic kind :mad)), so I'd have to start her off REALLY slow. It's also a way of getting myself a second bike with a quick part swap ;) :shhh

Let's call the ride and BBQ for Sunday the 16th of December. We can ride straight from my house to Redwood and JMP. :thumbup

Any preference for a start time?

Sounds the same as my situation, I just got my girlfriend a mtn bike as well and she fits the same profile. I'm going to make a huge attempt to take her on some really easy trails at first and not pressure her with too much info. You in the east bay?

Also is somebody gonna start at thread about the BBQ ride?

How many of you ride at night? I just started getting back into it because of the time change and it's a hoot and a half (as long as you've got a really good light). I see so many bobcats, coyotes, deer, etc at UCSC and Wilder Ranch at night. Dem woods is kinda spooky in the dark though...especially when it's really foggy and you run across someone on the trail in a full beard and ratty clothes who looks like they're gonna attack you. :wtf

So how about a group night ride sometime? :teeth

Yody / Bap - the Shoreline Trail at China Camp is another possible option. It's an out-and-back, but with singletrack, doubletrack, mild elevation changes, and great scenery as you roll in and out of the canopy, it's a nice ride that's about 6 or so miles.

I am in the East Bay, near the Oakland Zoo. We should hook up and get the girls together for a ride.
 
sounds good to me. I wanna get her out there a few times so she can upgrade to the clip ons shoes or whatever those are called (i know I'm a squid) I'd say Mike should bring Lisa as well but she'd kick all of our asses! (J/K she's always invited :) )

She just picked up a helmet, jersey, shorts, and camelback. I just need to grab her some gloves and she should be ready to roll.

I've done it, but my light doesn't have the best run time and I only have one. Since the only legal night riding close to me is on East Bay fireroads, I generally just take the roadbike out if I want to spin after dark.

I did the full loop at China Camp a few times in the dark, but that was a $200 fine waiting to happen.

I'm behind the curve here a bit, I'm just getting started with the build, and the frame isn't even here yet. I'll go get her geared up in the meantime. I figure two to three weeks before we're ready to hit the road.
 
No prob, its cold out and rainy, I doubt she'll be that much above the curve when you and your lady are ready. I'm definetly down though
 
SC this Saturday...

Weathers looking good for the weekend, so I'm up for another trip to Santa Cruz this Saturday. I've got a few other buddies going. And I already told Pakow. Ducky... MrCrash... you guys in? Anyone else interested? Let me know and we'll coordinate. L8r :cool

My favorite part of night riding is that I can ride all the illegal trails that would get me a fine in a heartbeat during the day due to hikers/equestrians. I need to do some more exploring in Nisene Marks buts its always a bit un-nerving to ride a trail for the first time in the dark especially when I don't know my way around. And the Demo at night was just plain frightening, I had to really slow it down compared to my daytime speeds. Even with a $600 HID light, my balance is a little off since I can't use my peripheral vision as well at night.

Have plans with the girlfriend this Saturday - wish I could make it! Jeff Tigert is talking about bringing his DH bike with him when he's back in town for Christmas - if it's possible, we should try and make something happen!
