THURSDAY, January 9 - Embassy Suites Show-And-Go - 9:00 AM Start

The weather forecast for Thursday shows unseasonable temperatures, 50s, but moderate chances of rain and high winds.

I think it is worth the chance to ride starting at 9 and probably heading south using the trail to block the wind, returning with the wind at our back.  This suggests something like Riverside as our destination but let's make that call when we meet.  Feel free to consider and suggest alternatives.
