_____________________________________________________________
4/11/2010 Update: You can only add to this event from a Waiting List status. Two of the three buses are full. Bus #3 has 10 more spots. If you want to ride on Bus #3, RSVP and pay, and I'll move you manually from the Waiting List to Bus #3. I will reserve another bus if 28 more people add themselves to the Waiting List (for other than Bus #3). There is a lot of interest in this trip, so there is a good chance that another bus will be reserved. You will be re-imbursed if you pay and the additional bus is not ordered. The additional bus will follow the same route as Bus #2 below. See more details on the trip below.
____________________________________________________________________
4/10/2011 Update: The buses only have a few seats left. Here are the number of seats left on each bus:
Bus #1 (Hwy 80 corridor: Roseville, Watt/80/Davis,): 5 seats left
Bus #2 (Hwy 50 Corridor: Hwy 50/Hazel, Hwy 50/Power Inn, Davis): 6 seats left
Bus #3 (Hwy 99 Corridor: Stockton/Elk Grove): 9 seats left
When these buses fill any remaining people will be put on a "Waiting List". Once the Waiting List reaches 28 People, I will order another bus that will follow the same route as Bus #2.

4/03/2011 Update: We have added a pick up location in Stockton and Sheldon Road, Elk Grove. Please be familiar with the Bus departure times below. Please send a message if you want to change your bus pickup location to Stockton or Sheldon Road.
** Please note: Race registration is still open, but will be closed shortly. There is still plenty of room on the buses. You don't need to be registered for the race to ride the bus. I'll send out an email in a couple weeks providing more detail on our trip.

You must pay for the bus in order to RSVP for this trip. WE are expecting to fill all four buses this year

Hi Nancy and other Rat Packers,
Shanon has a very good question.
If there are any members who live closer to the Stockton area (Lodi, Manteca etc) and Nancy is willing, I'd help her host a bus from the Stockton area.
Hi Nancy! Do you know when we will be getting the discount code for this race?
Thank you
I live in Stockton. My husband and I will be taking the bus. I would love to have a bus pick us up in Stockton. Please keep me posted.
Tony Vice from Fleet shoes in Stockton was interested in using his place last year as a pick-up place for the bus. I am sure he will do it this year if you ask him.
Should we do a 4am? Don't really like waking up earlier than needed, but hey if you're doing the driving I will do it!
HI Lhia, The race starts at 7am, and the race organizers advised me to be in SF. by 6 am. Some locations will have pickups at 3:30am and others 4am. The buses will start farthest east on Hwy 80 and Hwy 50. If you catch the bus in Davis then you won't have to get there until 5:00 am! I will update the departure times for the different locations soon....Nancy
Donna & Jeanette, we would have to get a minimum of 35 people from the Stockton area to schedule a bus from that area. Bay to Breakers is the same day as Avenue of the Vines Half Marathon, and some of the Stockton running stores promote the Ave. of the Vines Race, and aren't as willing to support Bay to Breakers..
I hope everyone is registered for B2B. Saw on Facebook today it is officially sold out!
Looking forward to my first B2B.
Won't let me be counted in if I'm paying by check. Getting on at Roseville Sunsplash.
Nancy- what time do you think we will be back. Just learned my daughter's piano recital is that same day @ 2pm. I will be meeting at the hatchery for pick up! bright and early and ready to go back to sleep 8-)
The race has closed, but there is plenty of room left on the buses. You don't need to be registered for the race to ride the bus.
Nancy - any possible chance of an earlier bus heading back. We are suddenly running into obstacles, daughter's piano recital in afternoon and trying to figure out options. Thought I would at least ask.
OOppps... I signed up to meet the bus @ Watt and I 80--thinking it was right near me (I am @ Watt and I 50!)
Anyway, me and my friend need to get on @ the Power Inn stop! thanks!
Lhia: Don't think separating the buses will work. There will be walkers on both buses and they need a longer time to finish. What time do you need to be back to Sacramento? Brooke: thanks for the update.
My computer pulled a good one and covered l/2 of the message for pickup. If we are able to get a pickup in Stockton, do you have a possible site yet? Thank you for organizing this for us. Marlene Kinser
Hi Carol,
Please RSVP and pay for two seats. Note that you want to pick up in Stockton. At the worst you would need to drive to the Hwy 50 and Power Inn location, but its looking better for a Stockton pickup..
I would like to be picked up in Stockton if we can get a bus.
Hey Everyone...I just added a pickup location in Stockton and Sheldon Road in Elk Grove. Please contact me if you want to change your bus pickup location...
Hey Nancy--Can you confirm that the Racca group is scheduled for pick up at the sheldon and 99 location in elk grove? Thanks. LR
Thank you so much. My husband and I will be catching the bus at the Super WalMart in Stockton. This makes it so much easier. Thanks again Nancy. Great Job.
Nancy - need to sign up my friends too. Should I just edit my response and if I do so will it allow me to just pay for the addtl 2 people or will it charge me for 4?
Hi Lhia,
Try to edit your payment and add two more people. Let me know if you have problems. Add them soon because the buses are almost full.
Hi Nancy,
I've been trying to pay online using Amazon payments, but I continue to get error messages. Is there another payment option? I really don't want to miss out and have the bus fill up. Thanks.

Hi Nancy,
I'm on the waiting list, does that mean that I don't pay until I hear from you?
Thanks so much!
Hi Nancy,
I RSVP'd but I can't find any instructions on how to pay.
Thanks, Kristina
I would like to take 3 of the 10 spots but can't find where to pay as the 04/11 posts says to do.
Hi Laurei & Kristina...got busy with taxes this week! I'll contact you both by email..Nancy
Just touching base... if you sent me an e-mail today I didn't receive it. =(
Please hold tight everyone...I'll give you a bus update tomorrow regarding the Waiting list. If youre on the waiting list you won't be able to pay until you are released from the waiting list. I don't have the final numbers ready because the buses are really full and some people are canceling and switching buses...so stay tuned...
Nancy, I'm down for myself +2, but meetup/amazon is only letting me pay for 1, how do i pay for 3?
I rec'd my packet! See you at the park and ride in Elk Grove.
Haven't received my packet yet? Anyone else in the same situation? Have contacted but B2B but no answers yet from them. Just concerned....
same here. Ive signed up in January and am getting antsy checking the mail twice a day lol
Hi John & Gabel, Check your registration to see if you asked to have your packets mailed to your home. Also call them and send them an email...Nancy
I just confirmed that im registered by going to active b2b http://www.active.com/uploads_search.cfm![]()
and it says To be mailed and i emailed them so im guessing any day now it should arrive.
Finally received my packet. So all ready to go!
I did have to email them alot, but they came though with it.
Good luck to all! Take plenty of photos and I want to hear the experiences from all who attend. I'm excited for all of you; I will be there with you in spirit!
Refunds offered if:
Additional notes: No refunds are available unless there is someone on the waiting list that can take your place. Your reservation is transferrable, and you can also sell your seat to someone else. Place a message on the "Message Board" if you want to sell your reservatio
Payments you make go to the organizer, not to Meetup. You must make refund requests to the organizer.
With the start of the race at 7:00am now, will 4:30am for the bus be early enough?
