• In retrospect, I should provide more than 6 hours notice before organizing a regular “social” ride, so we'll start the inaugural Pre-Game Petalumans ride this Saturday, March 25.  If you'd like to pre-game with a free coffee, please rsvp via email to me by noon, Friday March 24, and provide your coffee order from the menu below.  Pre-gamers should arrive at my house between 9:50 am to 10 am and we'll drink coffee together (restroom and water bottle fill available), then take the quick 4 minute ride to Riverside Cafe and meet rest of the group.  If interested in coffee pre-ride, email me:

• • Name
  • Coffee Order (if you'd like more than one coffee serving, please indicate how many coffees):
  • • Espresso
    • Cappuccino
    • Latte
    • Americano
  • Single, Double or Triple Shot
  • Regular Milk or Oat Milk
  • Sugar or none

• • I have an espresso machine that will make any of the above. I will email you my address when you rsvp with your coffee order. 
• All welcome regardless if you pre-game or not, and depending on who shows up, we can divide into two groups:  A pace (9-10 mph avg) and A|B pace (11-14 mph avg)
• Rolling hills (1,400 ft elev gain)
• Regroup as needed, we'll start and take a break together at Penngrove Market  for coffee, snack, restroom, water bottle refill and social break.  
• 33.7 miles ~2h30m to 3h5m riding time depending if riding with the A|B or A pace group, plus break time at the Penngrove Market.  I will lead the A pace group if we split into two groups, in which case we will need a volunteer for someone to "lead" the A|B group (i.e. have a computer with GPS to stay on the route)  Please e-mail or text me (415-307-4871) to help with the A|B group if you are interested (and I can email you a .fit or .tcx file to upload to your computer).
• Given daylight savings time and cooler temps, we'll have a later start. Please arrive ready to roll by 10:20 am at River Front Cafe / B St & 2nd. We will leave PROMPTLY at 10:30 am.
