Bay Area Sprinter Gathering

[kmessinger]

How about a meeting to swap lies and tall tales?

May 17, Saturday 10am-2pm or whenever.

Place: The Bird Refuge off 101 in Redwood City? They have a gravel parking lot just as you go in.
Hartzheim Dodge in Hayward? They may be able to make room for some Sprinters? Ideas?

Regards,

Keith

I'm game. :bounce:

How about Crissy Field with the Golden Gate in the backdrop? Or wherever, doesn't matter to me.

may 17th no good for me........

[bikerjoe]

Not enough notice. Sorry. May 17th is already booked.

[kmessinger]

Right - maybe not enough notice.

Lets make it June 7. I'll let some of the other forums know and we'll see what happens. Place to be announced but it should be pretty centrally located in the Bay area. Let me know if you have thoughts on this.

I know we can't get everyone but this will be a fairly short get-to-gether. It would be good to get a photo of all the Sprinters parked together.

Sometimes in June is fine for me, how about the Wildlife Refuge in Newark near Dumbarton Br.

June 7 - mark it down!

Crissy Field with the Golden Gate in the backdrop was also suggested. It would be good to find a spot where we can all park together.

Anyone else ?
So far I see only 3 of us.

[kmessinger]

The June 7 SMB Sprinter Bay Area Gathering is still on. As soon as the weather cools a bit I will check out the 2 bird refuges and let you know the place.

Hope you marked it on the calendar! This won't be an all day deal. Probably 2 or 3 hours at the most . . . of course some of us can make a party out of anything!

Regards,

Keith

PS. This is posted on several forums so I hope we will see 10 or so but even if I am the only one, I'll have fun in our bus! :bounce:

Keith,
If you check the wildlife refuge near the Dumbarton Br. go all the way to the fishing pier at the end of the road, should have enough space for parking in that area.

[kmessinger]

The Baylands, 2775 Embarcadero Road, in Palo Alto, http://www.cityofpaloalto.org/depts/csd/parks_and_open_space/preserves_and_open_spaces/the_baylands.asp will be the spot.

June 7, 11:00am to whenever you get tired or bored. All SMB's, and all Sprinters from the bay area. Totally unofficial, with no planning and no respect. However, the event is homogenized, pasteurized and may be dangerous to your heath.

If you may come, please go to my blog, www.ourexcellentadventures.com and post a comment stating what you will be driving.

Regards,

Keith

Just a reminder . . .

Hiking and biking. Checking out the birds and all. Giants on the radio. Telling lies. Looking at mods. Lots to do!

Hope to see you there.

Thanks for the map sikwan! I had planned to meet in the gravel area to the lower left of the "A" although if there aren't too many we could be in the parking lot to the right of the "A".
