Jef, leaving my house now - which is probably too late. Client went long on me. So sorry. Still trying to make it anyways. I am NOT bailing on you, I just might not make it on time. Have fun if I miss out!

Good times - what a great paced ride! Thanks for having me along, folks! I'll try to hit the 27th as well!

Those that were still there "got the lecture". Everyone agreed going forward the decent from Beals to the bathrooms at the bottom of Greenback and Folsom Blvd is a "neutral" or cruising zone. There is no need to blaze down this hill or even worse passing on a blind corner. Accidents are going to happen but this one was preventable. If we can't be safer I will not post this ride anymore and we'll suffer with the Canal ride every week.

Hey Scott, a group of us talked after the ride about rolling nuetral all the way to negro bar - no passing, no moves, everyone just takes it easy on that descent...and I think Jeff S. is onboard with making that change.

I really think that's the way to go. With the trail being narrow and there being regular traffic, there's just no room for error, and it's not worth it - not to mention, I don't think I've ever witnessed a significant advantage gained on the descent.

All future Tuesday Beals rides have added this new rule. Beals to the Negro Bar is now a "take is easy" zone. Single file and stay in your lane.

Yahoo!!! :)
