I will leave early (5am), going down highway 1, and up 46, hit Rossi's driveway (CA229) then 58 to 178 to Kernville. I was going to switch up the route this year, but it was so much fun, and every other route involves slabbing it for too long......Ed, do you want to join me?

That (Fri Sep 09, 5am?) would give us plenty of time to enjoy some scenery.

If you want to switch it up a little around Paso Robles, I recall a Chimney Rock / Peachy Canyon loop.

What is the date and approx. departure time from Kernville?

Slightly confused:

9/10 map link shows your route to Kernville.

9/11 map link starts at Shaver Lake.

 

Sorry, made that kind of confusing. 

9/9: everyone meets in Kernville

9/10: ride Kernville to Shaver Lake

9/11: ride Shaver Lake to Georgetown

 

In the past, SoCal people have peeled off sometime after Saturday, or ridden through and then made the trek home on Monday. Typically, numbers-wise, NorCal wins out big time so I don't really consider doing a "basecamp" type of ride i.e. T-Mac.

Who and what are the travel plans for Friday down from Nor-Cal?

 

I'm going to leave work around noon or so, like last year. Then just grind it out down 99 and take 178 up through Kern Canyon. Unless you want to try to hit CA155 and find some sand!

I did that one on my bicycle, a few years ago, very nice!

Should we be booking rooms in Shaver lake like last year?

 

Yeah probably. You remember what that hotel was called? It was cool - we had such a romantic room LOL

Well, my plans may have been hindered.  The project that was supposed to be done by the end of August got pushed back into September...Hopefully I can still make it but if not, I'll shoot for next year!

I'm doing Motels both nights... Who wants to share a room? Where are we going to stay in Lake Isabella and How about Shaver Lake?

 

Yeah no camping on this one. Kernville Inn in Kernville.

 

Shaver Lake Village Hotel is where we stayed last year. It's pretty small though.

I'm booked Kernville Inn Friday Shaver Lake Hotel Saturday, they still have rooms. 

 

I stayed in Kernville in June on my way back from L.A. on the VFR. The sketchy bar is still across the street, and the brewery has expanded to twice the size.

Bummed, the project I have did indeed move to the first two weeks of September! I'll have to live vicariously through any pics and post you guys put up.   :mellow: I did tell SFdownhill to join you guys, he'd be coming from Vista, Ca. so even further than me. Maybe Stucky and he can caravan together.

Lame! Too bad, in order to go fast I need a black sixth gen filling my mirrors at all times. I'll PM SFdownhill - thanks.

 

Also updated the first post with a couple notes.
