In February 2007 Desmostro had a bit of a crash in Marin County. Turns out a lot of other people had crashed there too. So a few of us from the (ahem) old board decided to make a guerrilla warning sign (WARNING: link is to the ad-laden legacy board) and post it at that dangerous section of road. It's been a year, and I'd like to cruise by and check out our work to see how it's holding up.

WHAT:
Sign ride.

WHEN:
Sunday, 22 June, 2008.
Leave San Francisco (Mission District) by 9AM
Leave Tambucks by 9:30 AM
Riding the Tam Loop

WHY:
Because we care.

WHO:

Definitely in!

Wish I could! Great fun last time we rode out that way to check the sign was when Zee was here!  [thumbsup]
I'll be doing another 500+ mile ride this weekend so I think I'm definitely doing my time ... and loving it!  ;D ;D [moto]

Myself and the lady are a maybe, pending her OK.  9-10 kickstands up works for me.  Is Tambucks the one on Shoreline HWY right off 101?  I think I've been there before.
We are 138

That's exactly the spot! Tam Junction.

9AM is generally a decent start time. Let's see who else is in then decide on a start time.

There's something about going to see a famous crash site that says, "take it easy riding." ;)

No worries at all! If you need to take breaks, that works just fine.

I finally found out where to get statistics. CHP in Sac. has them all. They are sending them soon. Cool. I want to see this.

I'm probably in.  I have some plans sunday afternoon, but I might be able to push them to sunday evening.  Hopefully I'll see you all at Tambucks.
