If you are a serious cyclist* and are attending this year's Mark Logic User Conference, you might wish to participate in an early-morning, fairly hardcore, pre-session, unofficial** ride organized by Matt Turner (matt-dot-turner-at-marklogic-dot-com, spelled out to avoid email address spiders).
The ride has become an informal tradition over the years. But would-be riders should be aware that the group includes triathletes, semi-pro cyclists, and amateur race champions, so unless you're a pretty regular, serious cyclist you may not enjoy it. If you have any questions about logistics or whether you'd fit in, then please contact Matt at the above email.

* If shipping your bike and/or bringing your own pedals makes sense to you.
** This is not an official User Conference event and the company assumes no liability for any accidents, injuries et cetera, that may result from participation in the ride.

On behalf of the group, thanks for the shout-out Dave! The rides over the years (this will be the 4th) have been lots of fun (if you call huge climbs fun - see this post: http://neracearth.wordpress.com/2006/05/24/kings-mountain/) and its great that part of the Mark Logic community at the user conference includes not just lots of talk about XQuery and content applications but getting out and seeing the beautiful Bay Area (granted on bikes, early in the morning . . . I think you pretty much nailed all the caveats).
Thanks again and anyone who is interested please drop me a line.
Matt
