Well, the party bus just had to make an abrupt turn down a gravel road. You like gravel grinding, right? Oh, just Grindr.. Okay, anyway we are now going to have a “Fall Social Lite” at the Orinda country manse instead of the Berkeley mansion.
The ride will be an abbreviated version of the regular Fall Social ride, the Three Bears, but now starting at Orinda BART. After the ride we’ll gather at Roger & Tony’s back deck for an outside lunch. This year we are asking that each participant bring their own “bag” lunch. However if you *insist* on bringing something to share—we’re not stopping you—please make it so that portions are either pre-divided or are easily dividable. If you don't want or can't bring a lunch, you can place an order at
Baja Cali in Orinda and we'll drive down to pick up everybody's orders after the ride.
Alas, we won’t be able to shower after the ride but the bathroom will be available for use otherwise.
If you are planning to attend but not ride, there is parking available at the house for a limited number. Please
let us know if you need to drive to the Fall Social. If you plan to take BART to the ride start, please check the
BART schedule for any delays or changes. We’ll have a car at Orinda BART at the ride start to pick up your goodies or extra clothing to take to the house so you won’t have to lug it along on the ride.
Please register for the Fall Social no later than 5 PM Saturday, October 30. Also if you plan to join the ride before the Social, please register separately below. (If you register for just the Fall Social or just the ride and then decide later you want to attend both, you will have to cancel your initial registration and then re-register because our site software does not allow adding additional activities to a registration after the fact.)
