Re: Marguerite Bus/Bike to PARC for BayCHI

Thanks for the detailed info. Could it be added to the template page for
PARC meetings?

I might just bring my bike and ride up and then straight back home (very
carefully) in the dark.

Or for no-bike days, I need to make myself a hitchhiking sign so I can get
a ride back home afterwards. Hopefully I can catch a ride with someone
going down 101.

Too bad there isn't a good carpooling system for people going to events
(who don't already know each other).
