Wheaton finally rides to California

[charismaticmegafauna]

How about a route kind of like this one on Thursday, May 19th? It gets in some Hwy 1 ...

Quidado...!

Part of the PCH just fell into the Pacific Ocean.

And that bit of news just made Wheatie's day.

Will NOT be an issue in May. Guaranteed.

Um, unless another piece falls in, of course.

 

[MEM]

I'm confused...barb gets off easy taking pictures?? What am I missing?

Oh well, I'm sure Tyler will explain it to me.

Ask Shiny. Beemerdons will explain it to HIM and he, in turn, will explain it to you ....

Just when I start feeling like I've got everything under control, I start seeing people staying at the Travel Lodge in Paso Robles. Is this yet another hotel stay along the Wheaton Trail?

If I'm missing something, fill me in so I don't find myself sleeping on a park bench somewhere!

Good luck finding a bench LONG enough !

Worst case, that would seem to dictate an eastward departure off 1 at Naciemiento-Ferguson Road over to Fort Hunter Liggett and 101 somewhere between King City and Paso Robles, depending on route preference past Hunter Liggett -- calling dcarver or Khunajawdge for some central coast routing advice.

This is what Tree Doc and I did this week. Hwy 1 to Nacimiento-Fergusson Road through Fort Hunter Leggett to Mission Road to Jolon Road to King City - then catch Bitterwater Road to Hwy 25 and take Hwy 25 north back to Hwy 101 to wherever Wheatie is going...

Thanks for the info...that road inland probably won't be as fun with the detour traffic poking along. I'll just have to figure something else out...maybe a shorter stretch of 1 or something.

It will be fixed by then. Has to be - think positive thoughts.

If not then the Hwy 1 detour would really clog up traffic, judging by the driving skills and attention spans of most tourists/cagers, their excursion onto Nacimiento-Fegusson Road is bound to result in accidents and mother of all traffic snarls! The best you can hope is that the traffic snarls don't back up all the way to Hwy 1 - which would be a major *****!

Back to positive thoughts - It will be fixed by then!

Tyler and BeemerDonS at the BW Black Oak: Hubba, hubba, hubba!

WheatonFJR, Big-D, griff and airboss at the Motel 6: Don't ask and don't tell!!!

Thank goodness it's dogpile Friday!

 

[wheatonFJR]

Somehow Don, I don't think Tyler is giving you her room key...or making breakfast in the morning for you.

Besides, even if she did, I think Donna can handle you...and kick yer *** if need be.

Believe me, the three amigos are friends, but not in that way you freakky *******. :clapping:

But I think Paso Robles BBQ is gonna be a fun time...looking forward to seeing you all there.

Even you Don.

Hey, you can never blame an Irishman for trying! Besides, I always make the breakfast!

 

[Big-D]

Perhaps being along the coast, we can get in some whale watching?

 

Did someone say Dog Pile Friday?

Hey Dan, just for Wheatie's visit I bought a new swimsuit for this NorCal Ride: A puce Speedo!

 

[wheatonFJR]

I'm glad I know many of you from meeting you first hand. Otherwise this thread (and the photos) might scare me off from this trip. :lol:

 

[Fairlaner]

Mark you should be afraid, very afraid.........

Marky, I'm going to make at least one of these "sleepovers" and riding days - just not sure which one.

They ALL friggin' scare me - even the ones without the lesbians.

So tell your fellow Paddy the truth Mick, who's rougher: MadMike2 or the lesbians?
