Usually the plan is to KSU full of fuel at 9am. Will that work?

[vguy]

Good. I'll have time for breakfast at the Cracked Egg across the street. Thanks.

As of right now I wont be able to make the full ride.  If I can get away for a day and meet you like last year I will let you know.

Sounds good. Just keep us posted.

Oh maybe he means Kern Lodge? RC can you confirm which?

My bad, it is the Kern Lodge............the lady at the Kernville Inn said there's a big wedding in town that weekend, so places are filling up fast.

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.

Jumping in here, as I will be starting in Socal Friday Sep 9, and may be able to meet you in Paso Robles area. I'm Lance - Brian and I have exchanged a few messages and I'm looking forward to the ride.

 

I'm late in starting my shopping expedition for hotels in Kernville and Shaver Lake, but my understanding is that the group is lining up on the Kernville Inn and Shaver Lake Village Hotel. I'll start my search there.

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?

I'm just starting the room search - if anyone still has a room they'd share, let me know. If I end up booking my own, I'll get two beds in case anyone else needs a bunk.

Hi SF, Ed wrote that, and has since (July 3rd) been in a devastating accident, and I believe he may still be in a coma. It will be, and has been, heavy on my mind since we were going to ride down together.

 

I have not decided whether I will ride down to Atascadero the night before and stay at my Uncle's house, or if I will leave early in the morning on Friday. You're welcome to join me either way, although there is no cell coverage on highway 1 form South of Carmel, to wherever I go inland if I do leave from home........here is the route I plan on taking.

[RC1237V]

Did anyone do Caliente Rd last year?   Duc2V4?  Was it worth it?

 

It would add 25+ miles to the end of a long ride, so let me know...........

[Duc2V4]

I did and to me it's worth it. Unfortunately I have to miss the ride this year. Anyone hear from Stucky? He did it the year before and really enjoyed it.

[RC1237V]

Sunday will be a shorter ride for me. Greg, or anyone else, if you want to get home this way as well feel free! I will have to get back to work early Monday, so 500+ miles would be too much after the long riding days on Friday and Saturday...........also since I'm computer illiterate, please let me know how to abbreviate map links.....

This, for real.

 

On a happier note, RC don't peel off on Sunday until CA132 to Modesto. One of the greatest sections of road in the world is between Bear Valley and Coulterville. Just trust me and thank me later.

 

Haven't heard from Stucky - I'll hit em with a PM. Oh and +1 on Caliente. I rode it once and it's good - though not as good as a cold brew that you'll be craving by that time.

[RC1237V]

Amended route - thanks Brian! - I could not get rid of that small loop.......also still do not know how to abbreviate the map link so it does't take up 20 lines of code.......

[sfdownhill]

Wow - so sorry to hear about Ed. I hope his condition improves greatly.

[Stucky]

Sorry for being MIA. I'm 50/50 in at this point. My grandma is on her way out, and I'm in a holding pattern to see when she passes. This is a bummer in many ways. 

 

Sfdownhill I'll PM you if I end up being able to go. I would be leaving Friday as well. No hotels booked, but I can always camp.

 

Also, sorry to hear about Ed. I hope he heals quickly. 

[crazybrother]

Thanks to Lance, I'm booked with a Motel room for both nights. So Brian/Tristan, what time are you leaving on Friday?

Damn man, sorry to hear that. Bummers all around these days - just found out yesterday that my aunt has breast cancer. Maybe we can all have a good cry together lol

 

Just PM'd you my cell number - just shoot me a text next week whenever you know for sure.

Barring a miracle, I don't think I'll be able to leave before 3pm. Tristan was talking about leaving super early and going down the coast if I couldn't leave early.

[RC1237V]

I will be riding down the coast early as well. Tristan, let me know if you want to meet up somewhere. Greg, are you in too?

Haven't totally decided what time I'm going to leave yet, but most likely going to take the coast down to avoid riding through the valley and dealing with the heat. Care to join?

I'm looking to see if I can manage to meet up for the Sunday loop from Mariposa north, depending on what time ya'll will be flyin' by.

9:00a or later in Mariposa would be grand! Sugar Pine Café?

I think we can make Mariposa by 9:00 or 9:30. Gonna have to be an early start from Shaver no matter what - it's a long ride and days are only getting shorter.

 

Just text me.

I'm down to meet up. George and I would be coming from a bit further north. What time are you planning on leaving? I work the evening before so I wasn't planning on leaving super early, but I could
