Roll Call - Lake Alpine swim ride 08/27/17

[GreenMachine]

South route departure.  Expecting 97° throughout the region as the high temp.  Great weather for jumping into the lake.

Planned 8:30 AM kickstands up (KSU).*  We'll stop for fuel at Costco in Carson City, so only take what you need to get there.  Then we'll probably also ride VC to CC, then take in Monitor over and back too beforehand to work up a sweat.  Probably ride into Topaz for the short range bikes if they need the fuel to out-n-back (Topaz, Bear Valley, Minden.

The will be a C+ ride pace, due to technical challenging single lane hwy 4.  Bring your suit under your gear or bring it along.  There are bathrooms at the lake that you can use as a changing room, if you like.

Lunch stop ideas:  Lake Alpine has a restaurant right next to it.  But if you'd like to bring a lunch for a little picnic, that'll be encouraged too.

RSVP** if you're planning on going.   If you do not RSVP, the ride may be canceled even if you had planned on showing up the day of the ride.  Expect the group to depart on the ride as soon as everyone who has RSVP'ed is ready.

South route ride.  This is a minimum C+ level ride pace route, so all riders welcome, but cautioned. 

As always, see 2017 SSA Ride Schedule for everything that is expected of you and what you can expect.  *** Safety is paramount. ***


* KSU dependent on when everybody is ready.
** RSVP - répondez, s'il vous plaît a.k.a. please reply.

KSU @ 8:30 or what time at VC coffee?  I plan to meet you in Markleeville, if you are doing Monitor from 89 side back to Topaz side first.  I'll pick you up as you come through Markleeville, but I need some kind of time of planned departure so I can beat you there and be unloaded and ready for Dragon........

Figure on us being at least two hours from Reno, maybe more due to coffee.  Just say 11:00 AM in Markleeville for KSU and we'll strive to meet that.

Either of you watching the GP afterwards?  Be sure, if you find out the result, not to divulge any part of it.  Would be nice to catch the races after.  Give us something to get back to Reno early for.

Ha-ha.

It won't be that late RG, but you can sleep it off once home, I don't mind.
