the following is post for a friend. please do not repond to me!  (also, 
i probably will not be going on this ride).

-------------------------------------------------------------------


                         THREE PEAKS RIDE
 
 	This is a motorcycle ride over Mts. Tam, Diablo and Hamilton, then
 up Skyline back to the City, in a single day.
 
 	The Ride begins at Polo's Stadium Club, 34 Mason St., San Francisco,
 CA (Mason between Eddy and Market) for breakfast at 7:30 a.m. (out the door
 and riding no later than 8:30) on September 12, 1992.  It ends at Cafe du
 Nord, 2170 Market St., (Market between Church and Sanchez) whenever we
 finish.
 
 	The route map is attached unless this is being sent to you
 electronically.  Route maps will be available at the restaurant.
 
 	We estimate total distance at 270 miles.
 
                 Disclaimers (or, YOU ARE WARNED!)
 
 	This is not an organized ride.  We know nothing about the
 availability of gasoline or food along the route.  We believe there are gas
 stations at least every 100 miles.
 
 	We know nothing about the riding equipment or riding abilities of
 the participants.  We do not know if anyone rides safely, although we hope
 everyone does.  We do not know whether anyone's motorcycle is in suitable
 condition to make this ride and we will not be checking.
 
 	We do not know if the participants will have individual insurance,
 though we certainly recommend it.  (State law, of course, requires minimum
 liability insurance.)  The ride itself will have no insurance.
 
 	We are hoping that no one shows up in an impaired state, but we
 can't guarantee that no one will or that everyone on the ride is in the
 proper condition, mentally or physically.  Impaired persons will be asked
 not to join us, but, again, it is difficult to prevent somebody from tagging
 along.
 
 	THIS RIDE IS NOT INTENDED TO BE A RACE AND SHOULD NOT BE TREATED AS
 ONE.
 
 	We do not make any representations about the suitability of the
 route.  We are hoping there will not be much traffic, road construction or
 difficult roadway; however, we will not be trying to check in advance.
 Portions of Mines Road, which we will be taking, are single lane and
 gravelly.  Many portions of the route are narrow and twisty.  We have seen
 largish rocks in the road at various points on the route, as well as road
 construction bumps and other hazards.  We will be cutting through Berkeley
 and there may be a football game that day.
 
 	It is possible that the group will break up into smaller groups
 during the course of the ride.
 	No one on the ride that we know of has any experience leading a
 motorcycle ride of more than two or three people.
 
 	We are making no provision for emergency back up or roadside
 assistance.  No one that we know of is bringing any type of radio equipment
 with which to communicate in an emergency and there will be no follow
 vehicle.
 
 	The basic idea here is that whoever shows up is just sort of
 deciding on his or her own to go on this rather long and difficult ride and
 it just so happens that other people are going the same way.
 
 	On the other hand, we know we will cover some great roads, see some
 really pretty territory, and maybe have a lot of fun.  So despite the above,
 come anyway.
 
                           Registration
 
 	Well, there isn't any.  Just show up.  However, if it isn't too much
 trouble, could you give either of us a call if you are thinking of coming?
