Conditions that will lead to cancellation of this drive
1. Yahoo!Weather says it is gonna rain on that day in San Leandro
2. Less than 10 cars signed up.

Safety Precautions: (I am trying to write some precautions to make our drives safer. Please feel free to let me know if you want add or fix them. Thanks.)
1. Do most of your brake at straight line before you enter a turn.
2. Drive smoothly.
3. If you see certain drivers drive recklessly, you can PM umvue and report it.
4. Turn in a curve with as big a radius as possible.
5. This is not a race, so please no passing among our cars in all two-lanes or one-lane roads. If you really want to pass, horn and make gesture to the person in front and let him/her pull over to the side.
6. "Never let the car in front of you drive your car and Never let the car behind you drive your car"

Ah yes, the horn and finger technique. I was amazed at how long The Unabageler could honk the horn and wave that finger when trying to get someone to let him pass.

If not cancelled and not raining, I'll be there.

We'll meet everyone up at Pinehurst/Skyline and head down the hill with you all into Moraga for lunch---only if ride not canceled of course. But---looks like RAIN really. So, we are not counting on it this weekend. Next weekend Easter--so any suggestions for next date??? Why not so much interest right now?? Ina & Maury
