I've ridden the entire trail a couple of times.  It's best to park on Hellyer
in the church or school parking lot, since Hellyer Park charges $3 for
parking.  The trail is paved for most of the 17 miles to Anderson.  There is
one short section which is gravel still, but can be skirted by going out onto
Monterey Rd. for about 300 yds.  Another couple of sections are on short dirt
roads.  It is generally suitable for road or mountain bikes.

The northern few miles (the old part) of the trail is a bit bumpy, but it is
mainly flat, with no hills as steep as a freeway overpass.  There are two
spots with three or four picnic tables (but no water) which are good places
to rest and regroup.  At the end of the trip, you get out onto Cochrane in
Morgan Hill.  If you go left, you'll hit the picnic areas at Anderson (water
*and* restrooms).  If you go right and over 101, there's a shopping center
with a pretty good sandwich place.

Big caveat:  While the trail is generally contiguous and marked, there are a
few places where it is not intuitively obvious where the trail continues.  At
a couple of places, you have to enter a road and cross over the creek, or
ride through a parking lot to pick up the trail.

Also, morning is the best time to go, since it's often breezy in the
afternoon.

Cheers,

Well, I'd read enough to know that personals didn't seem appropriate
here, and I'd already read alt.personals.  (I'm the shy type who normally

The response to the Bob Becker Bike Boink was great!
I didn't realize so many of us were into biking. 
Even the lurkers are unlurking in droves.  
This could be fun.  


Responses to the inquiry were either along the lines of: 
  
Great! We can start in Santa Clara County, take I-5 to 
Anaheim, stop in Disneyland, go to Tijuana for a 
margarita, cut over to the Grand Canyon, have a late lunch,  
and be home by 8:PM,  
or    
Great!  Finally an easy, flat bike ride that isn't a race. 


Sorry power bikers, but this is going to be flat and easy. 

Realizing that you can't please all of the people all of 
the time, I made the arbitrary decision to hold the first 
ever BBBB on Sunday morning, August 16th.  Mostly because 
it's the first weekend *I'm* available, and I wanna be there. 
Besides, it'll give everybody plenty of time to grease up 
equipment, ask friends and relatives if they want to go, and 
psyche up for yet another challenging boink. 


There are two trails that seem to be particularly popular -
Los Gatos Creek and Coyote Creek.  I rode Los Gatos Creek  
Trail yesterday, and there is a review of it on page 1 of  
the Venture section of today's (7-23) morning Mercury.   
I'll ride Coyote Creek as soon as I can, but it looks like 
one of these would be appropriate.   

Since we're doing this in the morning, it seems only natural 
that there is a nutritious breakfast waiting for us at some 
point along the trail.  ANY VOLUNTEERS ?????
I'm sure the participants would gladly pay a few bucks for 
breakfast if it were waiting for them.  

More later - I just wanted to keep everybody advised.  
Thanks again for all your responses.

was one hole that I only got it in because my friends dog dropped the ball

Malibu, in addition to golf has the grand prix (one for kids, one for

Being the activity-crazed-fiend that I am, I'd like to announce yet another
net.event for those who like wholesome, "outdoor" activities.

Being the masochistical sort that I am, and finally taking the advice of my
net.foes to "take a hike", I have asked my friend (and seasoned "outdoorsman")
Dave Kerby to lead us in a hiking expedition to Mt.Tam in Marin.  Dave has
graciously accepted to make me suffer, as I am a hiking "newbie", but will
plan out a trail (or trails) suitable for hikers of all experience levels.

Why go on a hike when you can stay at home and lounge around?

1) To meet cool people from the net (who are often single/available) :)
2) To have the satisfaction of seeing me suffer (in person) :)
3) To possibly see Oleg, Monica, and a few others enjoying themselves
   at the sight of me suffering. :)
4) To meet lots of nerds and find out how much better you are? :)

And lastly ....
5) Why not?

The hike is scheduled for Saturday, August 29th.  That will hopefully be 
enough time for the scorching summer heat to cool down.

As always, more details will be available as I get them.

Cheers,

little 'e'

I've received several RSVP's, so it looks like we're
on!

July 29th, 6:00 p.m., at the Dutch Goose in Menlo Park.
It's a beer/burger place - you buy your own food at the`
counter.  I'll be there by 6:00 p.m. and try to get a
table in the patio area in the back.  In case you haven't
yet met me, I've got long brown hair with bangs, and
usually wear shorts if it's warm, black jeans if it's
cooler.  I MAY be on my bicycle - in which case you
probably can't miss me - I look like I've been plugged
in...a variety of "neon" colors.

Directions are:  

If you're near 280, take the Sand Hill Road offramp to
the east (towards the Bay).  The intersection of Sand
Hill, Willow, Junipero Serra and Santa Cruz is about 
5 lights down.  Turn left.  Stay in the left lane(s).
You are now on Alameda de las Pulgas.  The third light
after the left turn is Avy Avenue - the Goose is on
your right.  You can park along Avy or along Alameda.
There are a couple of lots, but they fill fast.

If you're coming from El Camino, turn on Santa Cruz
Avenue (towards the ocean).  Follow Santa Cruz up
past where it turns into Avy (Menlo Park is wierd -
if you can - check a map).  When you get to the 
corner of Avy and Alameda, the Goose will be on
your right.

I'll try to have a sign or something - and I'll try
to let the folks at the counter know where I am - 
but they may be busy.

Date: 23 Jul 92 04:52:59 GMT
Organization: Woodowl, Livermore CA

My current girlfriend is vegetarian (and I'm not!!). We work things out
fairly well. She's a vegetarian for health reasons mostly. Not really in
opposition to animals being killed or any philosophical reasons.. She's
just trying to eat better for herself. We haven't been seeing each other
for long.. just a couple months, because she's leaving the country soon.
But it has made for an interesting time. At first I wasn't sure where to
take her. I have to be extra-sensative about where we both eat. But most
places we think of to go have SOME vegetarian option in the menu. Mexican
food is great, because there are such a variety of ingredients that you
can ask the waiter to take out the meats and it's still good stuff.
So that works out.. and being a vegetarian for quite some time, SHE knows
where she likes to eat, and where she can find a variety of things that
appeal to her. Since we don't go out every night together, I get all the
meat I want the rest of the time, and when I'm with her, I try some of the
vegetarian things. It's fun to explore what SHE eats. I couldn't handle it
on a regular basis. But we get along pretty well. The main thing is just
for me to learn to THINK TWICE when a food option comes up.. If I'm going
to order a pizza, I have to THINK "hey, she's got to be able to have her
section without any meat on it.."
I'm not sure what a living situation with a vegetarian would be like, or
what it would be like dealing with someone who's a different type of 
vegetarian. But I imagine it's much the same.. a matter of compromise and
consideration for each other.
 
Well that's my two cents!

Just a few words about the Baylands trail for those who haven't tried it:
The biggest difficulty for novices might be the headwinds you get on the
way "out," but since the trail is almost totally flat, it's really not a big
deal.  It usually takes me about half an hour to get from the entrance to 
the end of the trail, and 20 minutes to get back.  Also, I don't know if
a straight road bike (narrow tires) would work out too well; it's a loose
dirt trail for most of its length.  Something to consider.
A few options to look into "after" would include:
* renting a paddle boat or canoe at the lake
* riding out through the scenic business parks of upper Mountain View
* a quick bungee jump or two (bring your Visa card! :-)
Any long-term locals have additional ideas?

The newsgroup ba.announce is for the posting of announcements that
would be of interest to the entire Bay Area Usenet Community.  The
intent is that every Usenet reader in the Bay Area should be able
to subscribe to ba.announce without being overwhelmed by volume.

Postings should be short; the ideal posting would be less than 50
lines.  Please remember to format your postings for 80-column
screens, as that is the most common screen size on the net.  Also,
please check your spelling and grammar.

Please include location information in the Subject: line!  Not counting
sites in other states and countries, the Bay Area Usenet distribution is at
least 6 hours' drive across, and longer if you take public transit.

Content is restricted to announcements only.  Discussions are not
appropriate material.  If you are announcing a meeting for an
organization that is not well-known, please feel free to include
a short statement of the organization's history and purpose as a
part of the announcement posting.  Please do not send us background
material as separate postings; it will be sent back to you.

For sale/wanted, or rental ads are not appropriate material.  Please post such
ads to the proper ba.market group.  Any postings of those types will be
returned if possible, and dropped into the bit bucket if not.

Announcements of seminars should be posted to ba.seminars.

For-sale and for-rent advertisements should be posted to the appropriate
ba.market group.

Some examples of appropriate postings:

      * An announcement of a meeting of a political organization.

      * Party announcements or other social get-togethers.

      * Conference schedule announcements, e.g. Interop or Usenix, if
        it will be held in the Bay Area.

      * Book signings, celebrity visits (authors, Usenet figures, etc).

Topic:             Common Pit Falls For Self Managing Teams

Presenter:         Michael Selby

Self managing teams 'SMTs' are being initiated in corporations across
America, including both manufacturing and service industries. The
transition to SMTs requires change at many levels: change in
management's use of authority, in pay and performance ap-
praisal systems, in the role of first-level managers, and in how
business information is shared across the company. Perhaps the
biggest change, and one often underestimated by OD practitioners, is
the issue of team training and self management skills.  How do you get
team members to take on traditional management roles of coaching,
giving feedback, and breaking deadlocks in decision processes?  With
no manager, who rallies the team toward higher productivity or
improved quality? Michael Selby, former Training and Organizational
Development Manager for Hewlett Packard-Cupertino Site, will describe
the 0D practitioners role in assisting companies in the design and
implementation of programs for empowering SMTs.
