Second Annual NorCal New Year's Day Ride???

[rogdeb]

[qu

Sounds like fun, but, we'll have to poop out on this one :-(Deb will just be coming off infusion #3 and Doc has already said "no-no"

Prayers for Deb that she'll successfully complete this course of treatment and that we'll be seeing you both on 2 wheels for these rides again soon.

Thanks Rich -- we'll be riding soon.

Hope you all get this sorted soon

JB is calling the shots, what say ye?

I dunno -- he started out calling us pricks, . . . but then, it wouldn't be the first time someone from the Gay Area got pricks and ******** mixed up. :blink:

Note that he called for a ride, but against the best traditions of the norcal riding group, didn't specify the parameters, only later to veto what had been discussed and call for someone to lead him.

You still wanna give him a chance to do something productive, like decide on a time? :huh:

: :biggrinsmiley: Your turn Hans.

 

[HYCLE]

Modified just a bit to add spice and keep us out of the white.

Latrobe Rd to 16 to 49 to PlymouthPlymouth-Shenandoah Rd to River Pines Ostrom Rd

Mt Aukum Rd to Coyoteville Fiddletown to Hale Rd

Omo Ranch Road to 88 Shakeridge Rd to Charleston or Rams Horn Grade to Pine Grove Volcano Rd.

88 southwest northeast to Jackson Tabeau Rd to Clinton Rd to Jackson for a stop and depending on time, meal.

Head home

I'll lead if you like and if we are running early we can find a side trip or two to keep us entertained. :coolsmiley:

OK -- now we have a competent leader for that area (who knows how to avoid the white stuff). JB's route wishes input hereafter to be disregarded** (he's been demoted). All we need is a meeting/departure place and time, which I'd suggest should be in Plymouth (I assume that's where we find Uberkul leader), to accommodate different breakfast plans made by individuals or sub groups prior to that.

Brad -- what's the rough estimate of route times for what you've sketched out?

** Though JB is free to designate a breakfast eatery where (prior to Plymouth meeting) he and others might congregate.

(LOL @ Hycle's observation )

Cool I, I want to visit Plymouth rock while we are there, and maybe we will see a Plymouth roadrunner too.

According to the map it is only an hour and thirteen minutes fron Dixon Or two hours if I meet Bay Area folks in Rio Vista.

Ok UberKul ride leader, What time do we depart Plymouth in a Fury?

 

[UberKul]

Hey JB, I'm putting this out there, if you wish to adopt it and make it your own by keeping track of attendees and stuff go right ahead.

I will be at Marlene and Glens Diner on the corner of Hwy 49 and Shenandoah Rd for breakfast at 9:00 a.m., you are welcome to join me if you wish. I will then mosey up to the Pokerville Market grocery store to meet up with anyone interested in a couple hour ride on New Years day. I will be leaving the market parking lot at 10:00-10:15 on a route described in my link posted earlier as a suggested route.

I'll be riding solo and like to scoot along but would never make a turn without the rider behind knowing it. I welcome everyone to join me but please ride your pace.

Of course all this is dependent on the weather. :glare:

I've had a bad day at work and am kinda in a bad mood. So with that caveat, let me just say that I'm losing interest in this ride. Don't quite get why you're bustin' my b*lls on this.

Oh sure...breakfast at Glen & Marlene's then ride some of my favorite twisty roads. Uhm....do a good job as scout and maybe we can do it again when I get home!?!? :yahoo:

Yikes -- not sure what to say to that. Sorry . . . that you had a bad day at work, and that you thought I was busting your balls. I thought you set a humorous tone in the first post with the "pricks" thing, and later with "Excremento", etc. My bad.

On a more practical note, I think we were just waiting for your ok to the route and a time you think you could make (you suggested the ride). I tried to contribute some route ideas in the same area as last year's ride. In response to your rejection of that, and general direction about where you wanted to ride, Uberkul planned one that isn't likely to run into the snow on roads that traverse above 2500 or 3000 foot elevations. I've been trying to get an idea of what, when and where this ride might be (e.g., I doubt I'd ride the delta if that were the plan) on one of the few days I don't have to work. If you're losing interest because of my apparently unfunny comments, don't -- I'd rather you enjoy the ride you suggested, and I'll go skiing Jan. 1, or maybe ride the 30th (have another memorial service to attend on the 29th). All of this may be for naught depending on the weather, of course.

Hope your Christmas is a happy one.

You're right. My bad. Sorry. Never post when you're in a bad mood.

Sac isn't my patch, so I've put myself in a weird place by suggesting a ride I can't really plan properly, but only nudge in one direction or another.

Let me get some sleep and re-enter the thread with some rationality and possibly concrete suggestions.

I appreciate your apology and am sorry to have put you in the position of having to explain.

Let Han's get some rest and he'll post up tomarrow. I'm simi-familiar with Brads ride route and I would reccomend this for this time of year as Rich mentioned and sounds similar to the 3 passes route Uncle Mike took us all on which I might ad was 'my" first ride when we started out in Plymoth in 06 and was one I will never forget. Very nice. I just wish I was able to go on this one but employment factors have caused gaining the scratch to travel lately has proven difficult. If I can't go you all be safe as we all know there can be wet shaded areas on some turns that can be somewhat slick and pine needles can be an issue as well. Just keep the pace sane and have fun A.M.A.P..Take care, PM. <><

I got the right address and the right time. I checked the map and it looks like if I start at Solano Baking Company in Dixon at 7:30 I should arive at Starbucks on Hwy 50 at Latrobe road at about 8:30. Then down Latrobe road and into Plymouth for breakfast at 9:00 am with Uberkul and the other 10 people who will decide to join in at the last moment. Then take the Uberkul tour of the foothills and find a good spot for lunch. Then 2 or three hours ride home to relax and have dinner. Now that's the way to start out the new year. :yahoo:

 

[madmike2]

Now that's the way to start out the new year. :yahoo:

You are singing our song! That's EXACTLY why we decided to do the ride last year and, I assume, why Hans suggested a repeat this year.

[SIZE=8pt]Uhm....weather dependent, of course.[/SIZE]

 

[exskibum]

Not a problem, Hans -- I hope today is a better one than yesterday. I understand bad days at work -- dealing with professional ******** playing for keeps like I do, some real unpleasantness can be the result. And it's hard not to have it carry over.

 

[Ric in Sac]

We are in two up and will be in Plymouth for breakfast. This is the best way I can think of to start off the New Year! We will have all the roads to ourselves all morning.

 

[madmike2]

I'll be waving at all of you from my seat in the grandstands at the Rose Parade! We have a family thing going down there this year and we're all going.

My last big ride in that area was 15 years ago on a bicycle, we started at Rancho Seco and went through Ione, across a dam at Pardee then along the north side of Comanche. Party Pardee link

Has anyone been down Stoney Creek road to Comanche Pky lately? I am looking for an interesting ride back after lunch in Jackson.

Also need a recomendation or pick a group lunch spot in Jackson.

I haven't been that way for a couple of years, but those are some great roads. Since they're used by so many locals I assume they're kept up.

Lunch in Jackson? Mel's! The old original place burned down a few years ago, but they've reopened about 1/2 mile South....in front of the Safeway.

If they're closed....Denny's? There may be something "downtown" in the old section but Brad would know.

Rosebud's Classic Cafe in downtown is good, and not usually frequented by the bar-hop bikers.
