  Feride, I'm bringing a friend with me for this run. We'll only run about six miles, but we'll still meet you at 8 am at the gate/trail. I'll have my cell phone on me if we need to connect. Thanks for organizing this one. I've never been to Sawyer Camp Trail, so I'm excited to try it out!

  I like your idea Matt! I will take a rain check, since I will need to head back south.

  Sounds fun! Since we're so far north, would anyone like to hang out in in SF after the run for lunch. I'm planning to bring a change of clothes because I'm meeting some friends that night at 6pm, so I'll be staying in that area all day.
