Highway 36 and down the coast!!!!!! May 10-11-12

[Toecutter]

It looks like we may have a flight of 3 leaving Sacto Monday am for a day ride. We could leave Sac at 0700 and be in Red Bluff by 0900 -- or start earlier if desireable.

I could be a fourth for that group....

Anybody up that way got a spare cot?

Hmm...I'm planning a trip up to Oregon sometime in May (days are flexible depending on weather forecast). It seems like you guys will be going opposite direction I'm going, but here's my tentative itinerary. Maybe some are heading from my area and would like to join me on part of the ride .

Day 1, Up the coast to Fortuna

Day 2, Hwy 36 to Red Bluff, then off to explore Mt. Lassen.

Day 3, mostly freeway, stop at Mt. Shasta and off to see my friend in Oregon

Maybe somehow we can hook up

Jen, I have been a big proponet of Hwy299 over 36, 299 is a much larger highway,

well maintained, and two lanes all the way, and great sweepers! 36 is so narrow in

spots, its one lane, and very rough, from 101 to I-5 299 is quicker, safer and much

more majestic, I know, been riding it for close to 30 years, and its still a joy.

You can hook into 44 to 89 to Mt Lassen, if it is even open by then, lots of snow

pack up on top. FWIW.

Bugnator is heading to Eureka! on the 10th of May, and we are going to do a day run up

to Klamath or the Trees of Mystery, Hit the new Highspeed bypass, lots of fun and

no CHP in that area, just damn big Roosevelt Elk.

FAFW

Ah, memories.

A shame Patrick, as I KNOW Fairlaner would have enjoyed trying to keep up with you.

(He's ridiculously fast Richard.)

So.

Is this thing still on?

 

[FJRONAMISSION]

I haven't heard otherwise...... King R.......... we still ridin??

Maybe OM could hang with us.... somewhere in the back row........

B.

 

[Fairlaner]

Yes Brian we are still riding, I will call you early next week to sort out details.

Michael i have ridden with Patrick before I believe. It was exactly 2 years ago on mothers day 2007 we rode with Renojohn and some others somewhere up north of Sac (dont remember where).

Is that right Patrick?

I do remember chasing a couple of faster guys around up there all day would be fun to see if my skills have improved since then.....

As i have said before, the main reason for me to go ride hwy 36 is because Tim always said how much he loved that road so i have to go see why and a want to take a picture by the original sign.

R

Yep. You, RenoJohn, Uberkul, John T. and I all ran the Nevada (Hwy 431 near Washoe - WHEEE!) -> Hwy 49 -> Grass Valley part of the ride. I believe FJRob and a few others (flying junior?) met us near Grass Valley and played along for the last hour or so...

Hard to believe you forgot Hwy 193 between Kelsey and Placerville - You'll have to swing through and refresh your memory.

 

[Fairlaner]

So lunch will be here..my guess is between 11-noon.

Morning Thunder Cafe

557 Lawrence St

Quincy, CA 95971

== Quincy sounds fine for lunch, pick me up on the way.... it will give you another chance to

stop and burn your lungs.........

[Fairlaner]

Why's that????? do you have to work or something?

R

 

[Bluestreek]

I may meet for lunch riding up via 70, 49 or Bucks Lake Rd

 

[Fairlaner]

Make sure you bring Cindy with you.....

R

 

[FJRBluesman]

You guys will be around my favorite riding areas. Go see the trains in Portola. Quincy has Bandit12 out there see if he wants to play.

Have a great trip guys, ride safe.

 

[Cello II]

I'm watching this ride develop like a hawk. If it is OK with you, I think I'll be making it a one-day ride Monday meeting you in Red Bluff and going down the coast to Stewart Point. From there I'll run home via Calistoga and Lake Berryessa.

Where are you staying Sun. night, and what time do you want to be on the road Monday? I have no problem with a 7:30 or 8:00 start from Red Bluff.

[Fairlaner]
