Loren,
I haven't heard from you about if you are going.
Looks like I'll be driving up anyway. You're welcome to meet me in Sac but it'll be early...

Sorry about that... i'm still trying to nail down times... depending on when my girlfriend gets off work. I think i'm going to be staying with Tony on Saturday night and heading up from there early.

speaking of which.... TONY! Heya... i was gonna email you about this tonight... but would it be cool if my girlfriend (she was at the Woodside meet) Kelly comes up and stays at your humble abode with me? If not no problemo, just let me know. Thanks again man!

Sure, that's fine. So what time will you be arriving on Saturday?

Still not sure... but it may be as late as midnight depending on what time she gets off of work... she's still trying to switch shifts with someone, so i'll know by tomorrow hopefully. If that's too late i know someone i can stay with in Reno. I'd like to get there much earlier than midnight though... seeing as how you guys wanna head out at 7am.

Even Midnight is fine.

Okay... so, she got her shift covered, so we'll be there umm... not so late. =]

2 questions:

1. How long does it take to get to your place from SF?

2. It looks like it's supposed to snow Sunday in the PM... so will making it back to SF from your house in my car be a problem?

Thanks!

How long does it take to get to your place from SF?

3-4 hours, YMMV.

So what do you figure? 9-10pm?

Not a problem. My house is at a much lower altitude than the ski slopes, we very rarely get snow there. Weather report for Truckee shows that the precip won't be starting until Monday anyway, but even for my location it will be rain when it arrives.

Yeah, i think we are planning on leaving here between 5-6pm.

sweet. The weather report i looked at showed rain/snow in Truckee Sunday PM, so i was concerned. If it's not gonna do either Sunday, I'll probably just drive up so we can leave straight from the slopes Sunday afternoon instead of heading back to your place.

That's fine. Too bad, though, I was looking forward to riding up with you guys. You're still coming up Saturday night, though, right?

Hey, I'm not going to be able to make it after all.
I hope you guys have fun and don't get too beat up. Remember, fall backward...

Hopefully I'll see you at the next meet!

SONOFA! I SWEAR i posted a reply to this hours ago... but i guess it didn't go through. grr.

anyhow... Yes, we are still coming Saturday. How far is your place from the Sugarbowl? If it's not that far, i agree, it would be much more fun to all ride up together. I'm down for that. I just don't wanna make the trip back after an exhausting day any longer than necessary. =]

Depending on weather, traffic, and the driver, it can be less than an hour. I was planning on departing one hour before the arrival time.

The "detour" to my town takes you a little ways off of I-80, but when you add it all up, it's only about a 30 minute detour compared to just driving straight down 80.

See you Saturday!

3-4 hours, YMMV.

That's 3 hours the way Tony drives it. 4 hours the way I drove it with Tony in the car.

tanstaafl.

Then it'll be 2.5 for me!
