Hi Folks,

I finally got around to the details. Similar to the last thread, I'd like to start a group ride around 4:30pm. We can meet at Espetus in San Mateo since that will also be the finish point. The ride should be a little over an hour, but I'll allot 2 hours in case folks run late or there's a lot of weekend traffic on Hwy 1 and Skyline, which is very likely. So I'm shooting for dinner at 6:30pm.

Here is a Google Map of the route and the restaurant location - https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid...86714,1.056747

Let me know if you're in and if you're coming solo or bringing a friend and I'll place a reservation for the appropriate number of people. This is also open to all AMG owners (we're all friends here).

Looking forward to seeing you there!

No worries, that's why I planned it as a 2-part event. Should be fun either way.
