Greg,
I for one was delighted with the ride. My jibe about spraying for bikes was a
joke. Bikes happen. Beautiful Saturday Bay Area backroads? Bikes happen. Cows
too... And as a FAR-south NOBBC member (dare I say San Francisco...), I very
much appreciated the reach, even though I drove up to Rohnert Park anyway and
enjoyed the splendid drive from there. I have to admit to wondering after
drives previous (on returning home via jam-packed 101 South) what the blazes
(almost literally...) I had been thinking. So ten cheers for you I say. Having
led a tour or two myself, I know full well the work that can go into planning
these things, and your almost over-the-top preparation (and then refinement!)
in no way went unnoticed, nor did it that no one else in Ron's absence saw fit
to "step up." To sum up, thanks for a grand time, Greg.
Best,
Norm Weinfeld

Hi Charlie,
Thanks for the feedback. It took a good couple of hours plus to come up
with the route, map it and post it to my website. I will never have the
time to check for any and all events that could occur on one of our
drives, though unfortunately the risk of conflicts with other people's
activities does occur on some of the more populated routes. After you
and Patty split from the group, we continued on with greatly decreased
amounts of bike traffic and ended up in Tomales, had a relaxing lunch
and chat, and a great drive home, so I still feel it was a successful
drive, though I'm sorry if it was disappointing to some of the
attendees. I had thought it would be nice to meet up with Marin members,
but that idea didn't really pan out all that well, so I guess maybe we
just stick to our Sonoma backroads in future?
Cheers,
Greg
