Well, IBN will be happening with our without us. I have class in SM from 8-9pm. I usually swing by IBN for a bit beforehand. Good group of guys:

If the Rick/Pelican meet is elsewhere, I can head down after class ends at 9pm unless people are making it an early meeting. Rick, are you riding to SB Thursday? I could likely ride up with you, then I'll just ride back down to LA and head into work late. Also, when are you riding back down from SF?
