[IceIceBaby42]

Fellows,

quick reminder that our upcoming meetup this weekend is one day early on Saturday (NOT Sunday - due to Superball). - SPECIAL EastBay Meetup – (ON SAT FEB 11 – NO FEB 12 Meet due to Superbowl)

Plan is to meet at our usual spot in Pleasanton Ridgepark. However be aware of the local road closure (see previous) @Llama Paul is checking access options - we'll post here if we need to change location last minute.

Topic of the day will be:

- Trips
- Recovery Gear Usage - Best Practises

I hope this will be a lively discussion and we can learn from each other. I know we have some "experts" .

Looking forward to see many of you.

Armin

Hi all, I am a bit confused. The Rally Point info says the meeting is at Gay 90's Pizza in Pleasanton. But this thread says meet at the park. Which is it? Last Thursday I was able to drive to the park and although there was a "road closed" sign, traffic was driving on Foothill Road, and the road was clear of debris and the park was accessible, although the gate was closed because I was there after sunset. Please confirm the meeting location. Also, how can I indicate that I plan to attend on the RP page?

The meetup is at the pizza place.

The staging area is officially closed at the moment
