Redwood Road Report for those of you like me who wake up later

No cops, no animals, 2 Porsche & a charger, mini vans, mini vans everywhere, still about 10000 cyclist and about 6 motorcycles.

Was able to have some from coming from Grizzly Peak and making my way down towards Hayward. Just a ton of traffic going the opposite way around 11. I wanted to do the run back towards home in SF but way too many cyclists. Should be good in an hour or so as a lot of bikers were coming out.

So I've been on paternity leave the past couple of weeks and it's my supervisors last day today. Got invited to his farewell dinner. Wife said I should go to show appreciation and that she'll watch the kids for tonight. I said sure. Went for a drive in the foot hills instead.

I never liked him.

As of 5/18, the site says “anticipate completion on 5/25/18” - just in time to get a Mines run in before or after Summer Kickoff.

I plan on doing a S-ho loop thursday. @Clipdat, I'll be in the Lotus if you want to join in. Meet under the carousel at Cambrian plaza (union and camden) about 6:30. Route will be union to 85 to 17 to dry creek to 9 to boulder creek. A pint at Joe's then back down 9 thru saratoga, back to 17 and home. The whole trip takes about an hour. Anyone who reads is welcome. I just keep the speed limit, no racing.

Tentative yes. Depends on if/when I get my springs and RLCA's installed this week.

Thanks for the invite, but I can't have sex with your Lotus while it's in motion.
