Thank You!

Sunday, July 13th, 2008

Thank you to everyone who showed up and made our Quitters 100th Anniversary Ride such a success.

Extra special thanks:
- To Scott, Ruben, and Valerie for blocking.
- To Curt, for a fabulous meal plus pulling a plan B out of thin air when there was no space to Picnic at Tomales Bay Oyster Company. As usual, we would be lost without you, Curt.

EDIT: And who can forget that Scott had the foresight to show up with a sound system in his top case. Thanks, Scott!

Tomales Bay Oyster Run

Tuesday, July 1st, 2008

WHERE: Meetup is at Cafe Trieste 609 Vallejo StSan Francisco

WHEN: Sunday, July 13th @ 10:30 / ride at 11:30 sharp!

Join The Quitters SC for a long fanciful ride from San Francisco to Tomales Bay, Marin County’s hidden jewel of marshy wildernessy goodness. We’ll be headed to the Tomales Bay Oyster Company for some oysters and some BBQ and some general foolishness.

If you could, give us a vague idea whether you’ll be coming or not by sending a PM to Oz. This will allow us to make sure we have enough food on hand to feed everyone.
