    Hello all, in celebration of my last week in Northern California due to College I am taking an extreme short notice day long ride to Lake Tahoe and back! This is not a short trip, but I would love to have some company if anyone is interested in coming along, so be sure you have all day tomorrow (Saturday August 18th) to set aside to enjoy the world by two wheels! I will be leaving Elk Grove at 8:00 AM, heading to Jackson and from there taking Highway 88 from Jackson to Tahoe, into Nevada, and back through Highway 4. This is an extremely diverse trip, with weather conditions varying by up to 40 degrees between the valley and the mountains, and roads varying from fast sweepers through valleys to 1.5 lane twisty technical roads through the mountains. I have ridden this route before so I have some comfort in knowing where I am going, but have not ridden recently, so detours and changes in course may occur! If this sounds like fun, please send me a personal message and I will email you with exact locations for meeting. Thanks all, and hope to see some of you out on the road!

    Dang... you'll be coming right by my digs (in Pioneer, along 88 just up the hill from Jackson). Wish I had nothing planned, I'd join ya.

    Ride safe, should be a good weekend for it!

    :cool:
