You got me hooked! Late November will work. I have performances until mid Nov, the 11th. Though it sounds like it will happen earlier.

I always tried to plan the Gatherings as a day ride-in ( and overnight if you wanted to). The Lake Isabella is a lot closer to Socal than Norcal, I don't see Lake Izz being a day ride in. It was quite a haul from the Bay Area when I rode through to preview it when it was suggested. I think line between Morro and Sequioa is about perfect for a Gathering spot. I'm sorry I lagged at the planning this year guys, I just didn't find the time to do prerides of the area like I normally do on planned rides. The year's not over yet !!Nah, that's Highlander's gig. For history sake, I say that stays different unless High chucks it to someone else. I think Cali can afford 3 - 4 rides a year... South Coast, Central Coast, Northern Coast and Eastern Sierra region/Death Valley.Make it so!I always thought this was called the "Gathering of the Clans". Also thought that we were going to ride and camp around Lake Isabella at Fairview campgounds next to McNally's Steakhouse and bar. What do I know?
Avila Beach is in early October in Northern Mexico. This one's not. :glare:Can someone explain the difference between the Oct.6 ride to Avila Beach and this thread.
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:I have never ridden to Creston, but know someone who did. I did not sleep at the Holiday Inn and I thought she was 21.
You put it so well JB! Sadly, I cannot make that weekend. The good news is that's pretty much the first time I can ride again. The bad news (from this point of view) is that I'm taking the first part of the MSF Coach class that weekend.This Just In: You can please some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but not all of the people all of the time.
Dates: Friday through Sunday, October 26 - 28, and any portion thereof (can do one or two nights).
I'm just going there FOR the group hug...wear lead underwear if that's a problem... :wub:I'll be there Friday night. But there's no guarantees that I'll participate in the group hug.
That's where one lucky participant, preferrably of the female persuasion and under 250 pounds, greets all the hardy road warriors after a hard days ride with...another? :devil:Maybe a dumb question, but, what's motel duty? Don't like the sound of it.
Aw, shucks.... Tweren't nothin'.Seriously, looking forward to it, and big kudos to JB for pulling this out of thin air.
Hey, I resemble that remark. I'm a SoCal boy myself: PVHS, Class of 1973.Even though he's a typical San Fran bigot against we SoCal LA/SD folks, he's still a good egg and was fun at the July bake-fest lunch meeting...
I'm thinkin' about a joke that ends something like, "But why can't I do it Friday nites?" Reply: "'Cause it's your turn to be in the barrell."Maybe a dumb question, but, what's motel duty? Don't like the sound of it.
IIRC, we've stayed at this motel before. It was cheap and cheerful and met our needs. There is a Mexican restaurant right next door, where the food was pretty good. Across the road is a fish restaurant, with a varied menu, where the food was also pretty good. Motorcycle parking is flat, level and within sight of the rooms. There is free coffee, and sugar/fat/preservative pastries in the lobby.Here's the motel I'm recommending. It's inexpensive (okay, cheap), and seems somewhat close to some restaurants....
