Heading up on Friday night to join this
This gave me a good excuse to head up a day early. Looking forward to meeting people in person I have been communicating with through BF and Classic Rendezvous.

If Manny66 and Sactown_Albert are going to be there, that's pretty strong inducement, so I most likely will be there, too, even with the likelihood of coastal headwinds for the last 5 or 10 miles.

I am arriving Friday night
For sure I am going to be there. Bringing two bikes. Will ride the Allegro on Saturday and the Rickert for Eroica. Will probably arrive early so I can grab a coffee and begin a day of ogling bikes.

The Manny66 ride is topping the main event with group photos and action shots. None to be found on the main events. Maybe you should run the show next year.

Thanks again, Manny66, for organizing the ride. I’m sure everyone had a great time. I know I did! It was great to meet all the BFers that I’ve only met online.
