Where: UPDATED ROUTE http://goo.gl/maps/FWMX Only changes to start point (see pic below) Mountains, Views, Backroads - Yippee! :tour:

Yayyy I started something! Haha. I think the route and start time are perfect. I can go through and start PMing people. I can take A-J if someone else wants to do the rest.

As for planned stops, I know nothing about the area but a few stops along the way for rests and photo ops would be nice.

I honestly won't know for 100% sure until the Thursday before (when my work schedule comes out) but you can put me down for like a 90% sure I'll make it.

You can also as Blacksamurai under the next time. Just talked to him via PM

Junction Cafe is on the Google map as a placemark with the address, website and photo. Any other placemarks/rest stops I should add?

I'd love to, but I'm starting a 3.5k trip this weekend and by that time I'll be far away (in Boulder, CO). Have fun though and maybe next time ;-)

Alright people. So I just went a little PM crazy. I went through everyone who has been active within the last 2 months and sent out 51 PMs. I skipped the people I recognized from this thread and the other. but otherwise, hopefully we will get a few more responses.

It looks like a great route and I really do commend you guys for sparking this in our area. There are a lot of riders in our larger Norcal area. So it's good to see the group ride getting organized. I'll be away over the weekend and cannot join - and I am bummed about that. I know the ride will turn out great so maybe that will create some momentum to do group rides more often. Ernie
