I've got a 2 bike hitch rack, plus I can carry 2 bikes in the back of the 4Runner with wheels off.

@Somegirl: What's the earliest you'd want to leave? I can pick you up along the way.

Wow - I wish we could do this.  We'll be on a moto trip the 22nd.   May try to swing one of the other dates.  I've never ridden my bicycle on a track before.
My hovercraft is full of eels.

Don't forget prep-cover the headlight, remove the mirrors, etc....  :P
If the state had not cut funding for the mental institutions, this project could never have happened.

Right now I don't have anything scheduled on that date so I can be flexible.  I'll let you know if something comes up for work though.  Thanks!

Ok. We can figure out the whens and wheres in the next week or so.

It looks like the truck is tentatively full, but I will confirm it by the end of next week if anyone else is thinking of going. If worse comes to worse, and I can score a trunk rack, I can take a passenger and bikes in the Bimmer. It is a track car, so don't expect any creature comforts. Oh, and you might want to bring your earplugs too!

If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much room

Maria can't make it, because of work schedules,  so there's an open seat in the truck.

Still in for a ride, what time were you thinking of heading down?

Eric & I were thinking of heading down early, and just goofing around in the Monterey area until track time. Nothing in stone yet, so just let me know what works for you.

I have a meeting in SSF in the morning, so the earliest I could possibly leave would be just after noon from my place.  I'll PM you my contact info.  If that doesn't work for you guys, no biggie.

I think I'm going to have to sit this one out :-\. It's 8:10 am, and I've been awake since 2:30. Woke up with really bad back pain/spasms (I'm really getting sick of this damn back injury! [bang]). It's gotten better as the morning's gone on, but I don't know if I'll be even close to 80% by the time we ride. I'm still dialing in the fit of a new bike, and I think it was just a bit off, causing the back aggravation. Being hunched over the bars, doing 18-20mph pulls in a pace line, probably isn't the best idea right now.

There's a few hours before we're supposed to head to Monterey, so I'll update as things develop.

Sorry to hear that :( ...we could try for a different date?  Eric, what do you think?
