Beautiful setting. Pea gravel was a workout in itself, I would have preferred dirt. The smaller number of people made it more personal.

Some delays returning, but to be expected on this type of journey.

I had a blast! It was a great time and VERY intertaining! My friends that went with me are already talking about next year. Everyone on the bus was great! Nancy does a wonderful job. I wanted to rate the trip GREAT, but there was one person who was late getting back to the bus by 30 minutes and I did not think that was fair. I know things happen and maybe I don't know the whole story, but one person made 2 bus full of people wait. It wasn't like we didn't all know the buses were to leave at 1 pm sharp. I thought it was very inconsiderate. Other than that the trip was a ball and THANK YOU AGAIN NANCY FOR PLANNING THE TRIPS. I'm sure it is a lot of work.

This was my second Bay to Breakers, but my first Bus Trip with Rat Packers. I had the most amazing fun time ever! The bus was on time, easy to find at the end of the race and the envy of my friends that drove to SF. You will be seeing more of me in the near future. Nance Lancaster was organized, consciencious and was very responsive to email questions and concerns. She had the trip under control without overly controlling it. This is the way to do out-of-town runs!

Didn't like having to wait over 30 minutes for someone who couldn't find the bus, especially since we had been at the bus for over an hour already. Definitely liked the bus trip and not having to drive and park in the city. Nice having a bathroom on the bus also. Also liked how close the bus was to the race. It seemed on the map that it was a lot farther.

My husband and I had a wonderful time. Thank you again. We cannot wait until our next trip. Thank you fro all your hard work.

Many thanks to Nancy for organizing this. If I hadn't found this bus trip, I probably would not have gone to Bay to Breakers because transportation from Sacramento seemed challenging without really knowing SF very well. Bus was clean and timely. Trip organizers were always available to reach for questions, and provided maps and safety pins for bibs. Bay to breakers was an interesting event (to put it mildly) that everybody should do at least once!

This was my very first experience with the Rat Pack as well as the Bay to Breakers. All I can say is that I thought that, with one exception being the poor participant who missed the street to get to the bus in S.F., it was just plain fantastic. The timing to leave the Park N Ride at Power Inn & Folsom went without a hitch, and we arrived in the City in ample time. The buses were ready and waiting for us when we got back to the pick up point in S.F. Kudos to Nancy L. -- you did a magnificient job ..... And I'd definitely like to participate in this particular adventure next year!

The trip was SUPER FUN. We got to know each other a bit on the ride to the race. Arrived at the event site in plenty of time to relax before the race. After the run, we met back at the bus and exchanged our experiences about the race.

We had a great ride down. We parked real close to the starting line. The weather was a little chilly but after you started it warmed up nicely.

— Laura Long

Transportation very punctional. Very easy, affordable way to travel.

The race was so much FUN. We got to the race early and got a great parking space. Getting our race goodie bag and visiting the vendors pre-race was easy. Got to run with the ocean and Bay Bridge as views. Then we ran onto the playing field at AT&T Park and touched home plate. Another visit with the vendors and then watched an exciting game from great seats. The weather was as prefect as the company. Doesn't get much better than that.

— Jeanette

It was a fun, fun day! We had a fast, carefree ride to and from the race and parked right near the event. These trips are fun for walkers, runners and just spectators. I would recommend it to anyone. Next year we need to have enough to tailgate in the parking lot.

— Becki Spiva

This was a very run race, and the Giants baseball game was unbelieveably fun! The van was parked only a few yards away from the race start and finish. This is definetely the best way to travel to an out-of-town race.

— Nancy Lancaster (Running Adventure Travel Club "The RAT Pack" Organizer)

What a fun trip! We couldn't have asked for a better parking place! The run was so much fun and the Giants game a blast. Next year we must tail-gate!!!
