April 14th, 2012 - NorCal meets SoCal RTE at Big Sur River Inn, Big Sur, CA

[redtail]

The weather has been good this week! You just don't remember how beautiful this part of the world is until you come back!

If your hesitating because of the weather, get off the fence, you only get one shot at life and it's too short!

I just did a RR titled " HWY 1 San Simeon" but my pics just can't touch it! The lighting from this weather brings out the richness of this place. I hope any who can make it, will come for the ride!

Luckily dcarver sent me an Instructional Video on how to Scotch-Guard my privates so they won't get wet in the downpour! I just wish Carver had been wearing skivvies when he did the filming, but hey Don was just trying to be helpful!

 

[Captain Mike]

Lots of SoCal people coming. Anyone from NorCal? I will be heading out with a few friends from San Jose. Anyone else?

 

[Fairlaner]

So as it sits right now John and I will be leaving Torrance between 5.30am and 6am Saturday, we will make stops in Ventura at the chevron at Victoria and 101 ( 7 to 7.30am) then again at the Betteravia road and 101 between 9 and 9.30am (Chevron where we stopped on Tim's memorial ride).

If you plan on meeting us at either stops let me know otherwise we ain't hanging around.......

THIS is our intended route.

Richard and John, I will take the same route you are taking and I will see you out on the road; I will be on my blue and silver Miss Lucy Liu FJR, since I wore the rear tread off of my Fraulein Gisele BMW K1600GT riding with Alan and Helen Ionbeam last Sunday!

Tried to talk SkooterG into riding over with me, but he is hunting Cougars and Mountain Lions in the Scottsdale Country-Western Dance Halls this coming weekend!

johnny80s told me GreggieM can't ride in the rain anyway, just a Big Pussy sucking air! jes' sayin' and nuff' said!

 

[rmcobb]

Saturday northbound.

Not sure if 1 or 2 up..

Weather depending on the 2 up....

Hey Don,

If you're so inclined, and your time frame supports, I'm planning on being at the Cambria Shell station at 8:45, and then up road to SSSP at 9:00 for whoever may or may not be there...not sure who is or isn't camping but will stop there to meet whoever is there. Saturday's weather is looking good, a bit cold, but no rain :yahoo:
