Masiophiles, So who is riding what? I have to decide between 1971 or 1973 Italian built Gran Criteriums or a 1974 Carlsbad twin plate. Rob O- are you riding the Ron Smith Special?? Anyone gonna ride their Masi Tandem? I'm told the current owners of the old Carlsbad factory location have removed the Masi stickers we have affixed in past years...of course we'll have to bless the building once again... JB, get the stickers ready. So who is up for this ride??? Charles? Jay? Chuck? Also, take it easy on the green beer on Saturday as Brian will be shooting off the front on Su nday in nothing flat!

There is a Vintage MASI bike ride this Sunday, March 18th. This ride also
falls close to Brians Birthday, which we will also be celebrating with P
izza and Beer following then ride at the Pizza Port in Solana Beach. Wel
l meet at 8:30am for Breakfast at the Java Depot in Solana Beach (located o
n Hwy 101, just North of Lomas Santa Fe dr.in Solana Beach) and head out on
the ride at 9:30am. After Breakfast well head for the Rolan Salm (spell
ing?) Mansion in Rancho Santa Fe, and from there up the coast to Carlsbad t
o visit the 1970s location of the MASI factory and then head
back down the David Tesch Hwy101 to Solana Beach for Pizza and Beer. If you
would like to bring a gift for Brian, I would suggest Tubular tires and or
Vintage Wool Jerseys .He can always use more Tubulars and more Wool Jersey
s. Were starting this ride a little earlier than we might, because we ne
ed to get back to John Pergolizzis house around 2:00pm so we can watch t
he conclusion of the Paris-Nice bike race on the TV.
Thanks again
