There are no pending California rides here. I think that violates a guideline somehow.

MadMike?

The weekend of June 3rd has been cleared on our calendar.

Plan up!

 
The last time I talked to him, I thought he mentioned the weekend after Memorial Day.

Either way, we're goin' somewhere the 3rd.

 
OPEN PASSES: JUNE 24th

Since Toecutter stole the title, we'll just start the posting under his thread....hey Bob, yuh wanna go edit yer title to include the date...pleeeeze??? :rolleyes: (You'll have an email, poste haste )

Time : 0900?? Riding @ 0930??

Place : Plymouth, CA:The gas station, the only one, on the South end of town, East side of Hwy 49

Route : Plymouth, East on Fiddletown Rd., R on Shakeridge Rd. and take Ram's Horn Grade to Volcano. From Volcano ride South on Pioneer Volcano Rd., left fork to Pioneer, L on Hwy 88 East @ Pioneer, over Carson Pass, down through Hope Valley, @ Woodford, R (South) on Hwy 89 to Markleeville for lunch.

I think I'll throw in on this ride, but I may need to camp out somewhere the night before the start! I've camped at Grover Hot Springs, and the Marble Quarry Campground near Columbia, any other suggestions? I'll be coing up from the Central Cal Coast near San Luis Obispo. :cowboy:

You are welcome to a hide-a-bed at my place. I live about 40 fun minutes from the start point.

 
Highlander - when are you back in the running? Is WFO looking do-able?

The only problem with riding out to Markleville is the urge to take off riding dual sport. :D

Yeah, but the view from the overlook about 1/3 of the way down is unbelievable.

At the rate Highlander is going, he'll miss the annual Yosemite run........ <_<

Things are moving slow in the medical arena.. Kaiser and Stanford had a " I sent it... no you didn't " for about a week. Hopefully I'll get to actually speak with a human next week !

Hey I better be fixed up by September's Yosemite run !! I really hope to ride to WFO, but we'll cage it if'n we have to. Don't think I'll be leading any runs tho! :glare:

I've had plans for over a year to ride to New York for a close friend's daughter's wedding in the beginning of July, but looks like were flying there now. :rolleyes:

Hey, T.C., check out this place (5th bike down on the right side is an FJR). Look at some of the links, or here, where you'll find lots of room for the diva and more. Had the '04 buy-back been less I'd have considered this option.

Charles, the change has been made.

Hi There! I'm new to the forum (just picked up my '06 FJR last weekend). Was wondering if you all might like 2 additional riders? We'll have to put up with my buddies Interceptor though. :unsure:

Also, anyone know about how long the ride is in time and/or miles? Thanks! Look forward to chatting in the future.

You betcha :) come on along - even a VFR :eek:

The rides are usually a full day - meet at about 7.00am somewhere, home about 6 ish -- sorta.

The meet point for us locals is the gas station in Plymouth (the only one) on Hwy 49, east side, south side of town.

More info at the top of this thread.
