Hey, I would be interested!
A little late for the weekend you were talking about, I guess.
I am an old and slow rider as well so I doubt that you would hold me up!
I live in the San Jose area but don't mind driving a few hours to get to a good riding area. I typically drive 7 to 8 hours to go to the desert for a weekend.
Send me an email and perhaps some day our schedule will click! I am up for this weekend (Sept 6 or 7th) if you are still looking for a riding buddy
