Reggie's Roadhouse Roundup Part III -April 3rd-5th, 2009

A little louder please my friend.

Weather Forecast: Chilliwack, British Columbia - The Weather Network

Ask others to join you. I need all the help I can get.

 

You're not going to let a little snow and rain stop you are you? This is THE epic event of the year! The next BBQ in late summer is so hot in the Central Valley that you cook in your gear! Yes I'm already talking about SLO IV!!! :biggrin::thumbsup::biggrin:

(Making a call to weather God now for Randy...)

 

At least if it's mostly rain, that's not too bad. Snow would suck. Have you checked the forecasts for your way down to know whereabouts it might clear up? A half day or even a day in the rain isn't too bad if the rest of the trip is clear.... I'm sending out good weather energy for ya!!

 

Hey Randy, I ask the Rain, Snow god to take his time. You should be fine for 1/2 day to get out of his way

 

slo3

cool bob. we'll meet you at the gas station on pch and sunset.:thumbsup:

 

SLO III mod #2 in the final stages of completion.

Brake pads replaced. Just need to bed them in.

Then, pack. Almost ready to go!!!

 

Check tire pressure, chain slack, oil level, oil slick generator for CHP...

 

If I get my work done early tomorrow I will even get a wash and wax in before I leave.

 

Quantity of snow expected diminishing. Going to be wet and cold but should be OK. Forcast for tomoroow night is dark, with Hot Buttered Rums.

 

ahem....WE take delivery.....

hey.
ya wanna go with me to the kegstore...meet the girls....maybe get set up for your own personal discount?

good work on the CursLite BTW.....
sacrificial lamb that you are - takin' one for the boys & all.
a man among men....a floater amongst beer drinkers....

 

I guess I'll be bringing a case of wine. Beer gives me hives. More for you 'respectable' folks. Oh, for us non-beer people, what is a DBA?

 

242 wineries in SLO county....may be able to find a bottle or 3 around here.

DBA = Firestone Walker Brewing Team
respected local Fav......

 

Paso Robles, nothing finer!

 

As a long time Oregonian I can tell you that the *Siskiyou Summit is the only real challenge on interstate 5. (Assuming one is NOT a total pansy.... say.. like someone from Calif) :tongue:

The grade for the Siskiyou summit starts just outside (south-end) of Ashland. Here is a link to road camera's for that area....
LinkHere
or paste
TripCheck - Road Cams, Road & Weather Conditions in Oregon - ODOT
Clinky the above linky, and then clicky on BOTH icons for exit #6, and the summit too. Both are for day-time cameras, and they show temp. The little flags give written reports

Sexton summit, north Grants Pass, is far less of a concern. But one can consider looking at it, and the reported temps there too.

Unless summer, I wouldnt (would NOT) recommend going via Klamath Falls over the lake of the woods hwy 140. The summit there is lower, but the road conditions are generally far worse. I wouldn’t go via Klamath Falls to Weed either. I5 is the best shot. (If it is summer….. hwy 140 and Green-Springs are must not miss routes!)

Again, the concern is for Siskiyou summit, on interstate 5. And everywhere else should be fine and clear by comparison.

Again, I have ridden that area for decades. And by comparison Riders will be happy with all road conditions north of Ashland Oregon. And by the time one hits Dunsmiur CA, and southward, it should be totally clear sailing by comparison to the summit.

It may get windy just south of Yreka CA, but it always seems to stop well before Weed CA.

Any questions just lemme know. (i know some GREAT places to eat, camp, ride and play thereabouts)

Hoping to see all this "weakend"

flailer
