Note: You must preregister no later than Thursday August 22 by 7 AM--NO EXCEPTIONS.

Seeking relief from unremitting coastal fog? Refugees are welcome to migrate for a day to fabulous Contra Costa County to enjoy a fey triathlon: bike, run to the pool, and do your best Katie Ledecky or Greg Louganis imitation (that’s do an imitation, not do). Oh why not throw in brunch too? Roger and Tony will provide a main dish and sides; you bring an appetizer or scrumptious dessert. If vegetarian or vegan, you may bring something else to grill on the barbecue. Alcohol is BYO. Bring swim attire, towel, sunblock, sense of humor and fabulous conversation skills. We will have a car at Orinda BART at the beginning of the ride for dropping off your stuff rather than schlepping it on the ride.

You do not need to do the ride in order to attend the pool party, however everybody MUST RSVP no later than Thursday August 22 by 7 AM—no exceptions. In order to buy and prepare enough food we need to have an accurate head count. (Plus, it's just plain rude not to RSVP.) If you prefer vegan or vegetarian food, please indicate that during registration. There is very limited parking at the house so carpool if possible.

Needless to say the pool party is outside including the dining. But bring a mask for entering the house.  If you are sick or think you’re getting sick, please do not attend. We need to be extra cautious because of being immunocompromised. What might be a nuisance respiratory infection to you is life threatening to us.

This year for we are preparing smoked pork ribs or vegan riblets, pesto pasta, a brown rice salad, and a green salad.

If your last name is between A to M, bring a dessert.
If your last name is between N to Z, bring an appetizer.

And don't forget to RSVP!!

Details and directions will be sent one day before the Pool Party only to those who are registered.
