It's bad, you know
I would like to propose a ride to the historic Cold Springs Tavern for any west coast FJR riders who demand fine riding to a great location followed up with good company and a mug of fine brew. Here's a great chance for both the So Cal and Mid Cal FJR owners (and anyone else willing to make the trip) to meet & swap unbelievable war stories at an historic Santa Barbara watering hole. Cold Spring Tavern's web site is located here.
The tavern is located just north of Santa Barbara here on the beautiful San Marcos Pass Road. It is a well known bike destination and there will be a lot of two wheel fanatics at the locale from across the spectrum.
For those of us from the LA area, I propose the following route through Canoga Park to Simi Valley to Fillmore then Ojai and through the scenic northern part of Santa Barbara. Then up the San Marcos Pass to the old stagecoach route and the tavern.
Proposed route.
For the LA crowd, we can rally up at the Starbucks located at 5422 Topanga Canyon Boulevard, in Woodland Hills at 0830. The ride to the tavern will take about 3.5 hrs. Those of you coming from the north...well, you know what to do.
Now, all this is a first put and, as Von Moltke once said, no plan survives first contact. All is negotiable: routes, times, dates, etc.
What say you all? Any takers?
EDIT: new date of 12 June is proposed for this ride.
Expected time on target at Cold Springs is 12:00 noon.
