Ok, ok, the blanks are silly, but I had to do it for a reason.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tim, Richard, and I are holding another bike event this Saturday, October 17,
1992.  The last bike event in Santa Cruz was a success and we want to do it
again! This time, we want to make sure the the casual bikers get a pleasant
ride while fitness conscious and hard-core bikers get a good workout! We'll
all get a great view atop of inspiration Point.

There will be two meeting points:

1. For the REAL bikers, we'll start at the base of the Berkeley Hills and bike
   up to inspiration point.  Meeting time is _____________ and we will meet
   at Richard's place at ___________________.  His apartment is located next
   to __________________________________.  We'll leave, at the latest, _____.

2. For the casual bikers, we'll meet atop of Inspiration Point in Berkeley
   between ____________.  To get to inspiration point, take _____________ up
   towards _______________ Park and turn left at ______________ Road.  Inspir-
   ation Point will be on your left.  Meet by the gates leading onto Nimitz
   Way.  We will leave promptly at ______ or until the bikers from the bottom
   finally make it to the gates to Nimitz Way.

The paths are all paved and wide.  So bring your road or mountain bikes (got
complaints last time about unpaved surfaces in Santa Cruz).

If you start at the bottom, the ride will be about 20 miles.  If you start
at the top of inspiration point, the ride is about 9 miles.  Let me tell ya,
the ride is difficult from the bottom up, but easy-moderate on Nimitz way at
Inspiration Point.  It's beautiful up there.  You can see the Bay Area,
reserviour, and Orinda/Richmond from the top of that mountain/hill.

Things to bring:
----------------
- A water bottle or two
- A road or moutain bike
- A safty helmet and sunglass
- Suntan lotion or sunblock
- Clothes for the after event
- Money(!!)
- Friends!

What else to expect:
--------------------
George Wu or I will be reposting George's message about bike rentals in
Berkeley.

Tim Lee will be sending more info about the "after" event.

Other stuff:
------------
I believe Rich said we can use his place to shower, right rich?

There are dirt trails which parallel the paved ones.  Also, dirt trails start
where the paved one ends.  People who don't want to ride the paved trails can
ride the dirt trails.
