nklr - ride op dec11 - central coast & la riders

[js-anti]

Just found out from the ride organizer: A change on start/location time which I should note: The route directs show 7:30 at Gladstones - wrong ACTUAL will be 7:00 AM at the Chevron at PCH and Sunset (on the north boundside...) The departure from the Rock Store is set for 8:30 ACTUAL route mileage is +-300 ; 400 would be for someone coming up from Orange County area... If anyone has downloads the directions, I will update them this evening with the info above. js - getting new B-stone TW21-22s for the occassion
