West Coast Convention Date ?

I'll see if I can make those dates work, bet I can though.

 

I wouldn't be able to do Vegas, but if we'd planned this earlier I would have put off my north Cal trip until Aug 22! Excellent roads in north Cal: hwy 3 west of Redmond comes to mind, then down to Red Bluff for a tear at hwy 36. Could be fun! Hey if this works out, let's start plans for next year!

 

That's my attitude too, just gonna go with the flow. Meeting in Sac would be fine. I should know here soon about the dates. I'm waiting on a couple work related project issues to know for sure. Already got the wife's OK, so that hurdle is crossed. :biggrin:

 

How's this Reg, meet around Cresent City/Eureka area on the night of the 22nd and work our way to Washington till the 27th, you guys will leave on the morning of the 28th and that will give you two days to get home. Came up with the ultimate route :whoo:

Hmmm..and Hmmm.

 

RW, would you be leaving on the 19Th? if so there could be a lot of VFRs heading out as that's the last day of the VFRD meet in Vancouver. I'm Still a major Hmm. not sure what the fall out will be as My son is getting married on the 17th and we're hosting a lot of guests.

 

I wasn't planning on leaving till the 21 or 22, If I leave on the 22nd I was just going to iron butt it all the way there and meet the Ca. group either in Eureka or Redding, that should give you plenty of time on the wedding guests to be on the ride of the year...

Who or what is Alice's, does she have a friend :biggrin:

 

I'ts looking like I'm out. Been waiting for my boss to approve my vac request and found out yesterday she's now out on medical leave till mid Sept, meaning we'd be too short-handed for me to take off. There's still a small chance for me to get approval so I haven't totally given up.

 

Hi guys...now you are in my neck of the woods. If you want, I would be happy to show you Alice's restaurant and the local riding scene. It's pretty awesome.
I'm heading out tomorrow (Aug. 5th) for an 8 day ride up into Oregon and Washington, via Hwy. 1 and 101 so won't be going on your ride later in the month.
I use to own a motorcycle touring business in California and also was born and raised here so I am quite familiar with the good bike roads.
If you have any questions about northern California just post them here and I will be happy to reply, or find answers for you.
I would recommend staying away from Redding and Red Bluff this time of the year as it can get extremely hot.
One summer we rode through Redding while it was 118 degrees :redface:

 

I'll see you boy's in Eureka on the night of Sep. 19, I'll be coming down with at least one rider and I'll start checking out motel rooms for at least the first night. I'm guessing there will be at least two California riders coming up for this.

I'm starting to get very excited for this because I've never done the famous N. California twistys, but I've talked to a lot of people who have and they have all said it's just the ultimate!

 

pretty sure it predates Arlo's song
plus wasn't Arlos song supposed to be in like NY, or VT or something?

Alice's is a great biker spot down on Hwy 35 (Skyline) south of San Francisco. Considering that I just came back from a trip to Vancouver, I couldn't do the whole thing with you guys, but since I live in San Francisco, I could definitely meet you for the local part. Are you guys planning on coming through the Bay Area, and when?

 

Well, when you figure out the particulars, let me know, and I'll meet you.

See you then,
Mel

 

I'm guessing Reg will rolling through the Bay Area around lunch time on September 19 and will be going the coast route up to Eureka, here is a map of the planned ride but we will be adding Mt. Rainier once we get to Washington...
