SMW Spring Fling - final pre-event post!

SabMag West Spring Fling 2012
May 18-20, 2012

'Home Base' is here:
Gold Country Campground Resort
13026 Tabeaud Rd.
Pine Grove, CA 95665

You will find fairly complete directions here: Gold Country Campground Resort - Find Our Premier California Gold Country Camping

NOTE: There is a large billboard pointing to 'Roaring Camp Railroad' at the corner of Hwy 88 and Tabeaud Rd. Can't miss it!

For those who have not been to one of these events before, Doe and I try to be good 'hosts'; but if you are a soft drink person, bring your own. We will bring some decent beer and bottled water both Friday evening and for Saturday's BBQ.

On Friday evening we will bring pizzas from Pine Grove pizza (pretty good stuff) at around 6:00 pm. Saturday we will be stopping someplace for lunch during the ride. Saturday evening we will be bringing a Weber to the site, along with enough chicken legs and sausages to feed everyone, plus salads of some kind and condiments. The feast will commence some time after 5:30, and will end when all the food is consumed or y'all pass out.

We've not had much luck trying to do anything on Sunday morning; but the Sierra House restaurant is till there in Pine Grove, just a few minutes away.
Looking forward to meeting y'all on Friday afternoon!

 

Almost forgot about this...

If anyone is planning to come up on Saturday morning, plan to be at the home base by 9:30. We'll be having a rider's meeting to distribute route instructions and have a conversation about groups, group riding, as well as bringing up any 'route notes' gathered on our pre-run.

The ride (subject to the usual cat-herding) is planned for stands-up at 10:00am.

 

Up a little late due to beer consumption and BBQ Friday night........got to the resort at 10:00......only one bike there. I suck. But rode 88 to Tahoe and grabbed a bite to eat and rode home. Nice ride so not a total loss.

 

Dayum. You couldn't have missed us by more than a few minutes. 10 was the appointed departure time, and I can be pretty good at herding cats. Shoulda sent a copy of the route to you. It was a fantastic day, great ride, no performance awards, no crashes, great food at the Feast this evening.
