    Psychology BUMP:

    I do not think any BPL member from the Bay Area can walk 23 miles in a day.

    I recently found out I can't without crippling myself. I was looking forward to trying but I agreed to shuttle and support some people for Bay to Breakers which is also on the twentieth.

    Jay, what is the specific trailhead or start point for the hike? Just want to make sure I don't end up in the wrong spot at 5:30 AM.

    Thanks,
    Jacob.

    Just curious to see how many of us there will be on this journey.

    Count me in!

    And a big thanks to Jay for putting this together.

    Hi Tony. I will be there. I guess this means I have to wake around 3:30am. Going to be a triple shot morning :)

    I will bring some beer for the after party. Maybe some hummus and pita chips too if I can hit the farmers market tomorrow.

    Jeremy will supply some home brew and I will supply the pizza plus other beverages and snacks. But fill free to bring what ever you want. The more the better! I am sure we will all be hungry in the afternoon. The Weather is actually cooling down… Any questions please PM me—See ya all early on Sunday…

    Sorry, I injured my foot last weekend and I have not been able to get it better in a weeks time. Thanks for your interest but the hike is cancelled.

    Jay, sorry to hear about your foot.

    I did respond to your PM's (all of them) hope you got the messages.

    I'll probably still be making the hike and will be at the trailhead around 6:00 AM, if anyone else is interested still. I won't have any pizza but will have a few beers on ice as motivation to make it back :)

    Jacob, fill free to stop buy before and after the hike to clean up if you want. I will probably still have pizza & beer any ways in the afternoon. You can leave your car at my house ! am just a few minutes from the trail head.

    We can start and finish at my house, very close to jays. Pm me for address.

    And lets start at 7. On the nose. Get there 20 minutes before.

    U can bring beer if u want but i have 3 kegs on tap in the garage so no need but up to u. My home brew is decent but i have much less experience than cameron so no worries if u want to have back up

    Sound good? Anyone in? Jay u are welcome to come hang out afterward.

    Jeremy,

    Count me in and starting at 7 pm is always nice so I can get a little more beauty rest.

    We could always all pitch in for pizza too.

    Jeremy I sent you a PM, still waiting to hear. I'm out of the house for the evening, if I don't hear from you or Tony then I'll look for you guys at the trailhead @ 7:00

    Well, I made it home safely, if not a little spaced out.

    I had a great time hiking with you guys today (Tony, Jeremy). Weather was nice, heat wasn't toooo bad – or much better than last time from what I gather :)

    Jeremy, thanks for the excellent home brews, pizza pie, and for picking a good route out for us.

    Jay, sorry to miss you, hopefully we'll link up at the next one!
