Has anybody on the forum stayed there before?
Nope, but I've played the course twice. Didn't threaten the course record either time, but needed knee surgery after the last round there. Need to get back on that horse....It's a nice course.

Golf................the game for guys with little balls !!!!!!!!!!!!! :rolleyes:

 
After a couple PM's I need to throw out a couple "rules "..........

1)

The group campsite is for motorcycles only. If you need to bring the SUV and the kitchen sink please get your own separate site at Morro. Dcarver has it right without even asking , good on ya mate ! :clapping:

( Only exception is if KJ needs to bring in his rig with firewood etc for the run setup, )

2)

If you bring in any food, lock it up at night. There are many Racoons in the area, and they're smart little fellas, may even know how to unlock your bags so don't leave you key in the ignition B)

3) If you cage it, leave the dogs at home, they'll bark all night at the 'coons and piss everyone off.

4)

And we don't even have to discuss the alcohol at lunch rule do we ??????????? You'll be riding alone.

 
I scoped out the group site last summer; there IS a hot shower in the group site restrooms. No walking required. Clean and the water was hot. No charge for the shower either.
OK, I stand corrected! Dcarver was right! There ARE showers at Morro Bay State Park (MB SP) in the group campground. Here are some shots I took this morning (with the snapshot digital) on my way to work! There are basically 2 Group campsites in the group campground. One is called Osos, the other = Chorro! There was quite a bit of wind damage (wind velocity reached 70 mph) last weekend to the MB SP tree canopy. However, Cal/Con/Corps. crews have cleared most of it, in and near the campground BY today!

I decided that "everyone" doesn't need to see all of these pics, so I am just posting the URL's and captions here now (probably NOT the swiftest (?) way to do this, but...):

Chorro Group Campground (A smidgeon bigger site of the 2, but closer to the golf course?).

Note: Try not to crowd closer than 3 pie plates from the campfire ring!

The interior of the shower (The grout was polished with a toothbrush, but it is late in February?).

This is part of the green of the Morro Bay Golf Course.

The sign at the Inn at Morro Bay.

“This” is Fairlainer's pick of motels in Morro Bay (Not bad, I might add!).

There you go and as soon as June, here you are! :blink:

4)And we don't even have to discuss the alcohol at lunch rule do we ??????????? You'll be riding alone.
Easy one for me, I don't drink on days that I ride. That means more for you guys around the campfire.
I read somewhere that if you never drink and ride, you cut in half your chances of being killed in a M.C. accident. Another way to say that is, if you drink and ride, you double your chances of being killed in a M.C. accident.

When I wrote that article for Friction Zone analyzing accident-involved M.C. accidents, in which I analyzed 10 years' worth of California data involving >100,000 M.C. accidents, my conclusion was that alcohol acts as an "injury accelerator." In other words, if you plot a frequency distribution of accident severity for all non-alcoho-involved M.C. accidents, you get certain percentages for each CHP category, including (as I recall) "No Injury," "Complaint of Pain," "Serious Injury," "Severe Injury," and "Fatal." If you separate out only alcohol-involved accidents, all the percentages shift dramatically to the right, toward severe injury and death. Also, riders who have been drinking tend to have more single-vehicle accidents, and tend to crash more into stationary objects."

I don't know my weekend schedule for the new job yet, but if it allows me that weekend off, I want in on this.

So, add Andy and me to the undecided list. That's one tent and two bikes.

Jill is the current record holder at 0.21% with Richard assisting her. Will the record stand?
