SIERRAS RIDE BULLETIN – Sept. 12-14

Two sets of room reservations in Mariposa and Bridgeport are still available as are camping arrangements (with bathroom privileges) at a private property about 10 miles south of Mariposa. As of September 3 we have 32 confirmed participants for this year’s ride. It’s a truly spectacular 370 mile route over the Sierras (Carson Pass and Tioga Pass) and through Yosemite.

We had a very busy Spring culminating in our best ever Cambria-Big Sur Ride – 43 bikes, nearly all “hard core” riders. For the first time in club history (?) we actually stayed together for the entire 240 mile route, Cambria to Morro Bay, Parkfield, Nacimento-Ferguson Rd and back to Cambria via Hwy 1. Great ride, one minor accident, one breakdown, no tickets. Special thanks to Tim Gilligan and Sheryl for their chase truck services; to Andy Takakjian for designing a very classy ride t-shirt; and, to Roger Cosgrove for printing the same design on high quality poster stock suitable for framing – available at Club Meetings for $8.00 or by mail (plus shipping and handling).

UPCOMING EVENTS INCLUDE:

September 12-14 – 7th Annual Twin Passes/High Sierras Ride: meet in Mariposa on Friday evening Sept. 12; ride leaves Miners Inn at 8:30 Saturday morning via Hwy 49 through Sonora, Carson Pass and on to Bridgeport. On Sunday morning, we leave Bridgeport at 8:30 am for breakfast in Lee Vining then go over Tioga Pass, across Yosemite and back to Mariposa. Total mileage is about 360. There will be a chase truck. We usually have about 25 riders for this event.

If you cannot get a room in Mariposa on Friday evening, consider staying in Merced, about 25 miles west on Hwy 140 at 99 and head into Mariposa on Saturday am. We have a club member in Mariposa who will host a barbecue on Friday evening and who can also provide camping opportunities and weekend parking at his house just outside of town. Call Bib for details. In Bridgeport, most of us are staying at the Walker River Lodge (800 688-3351). There are 5 or 6 other motels in Bridgeport and others in .Lee Vining for Saturday evening.
