We leave from Mariposa at 8:30 am on Saturday the 11th. There will be a chase truck. If you have not already confirmed your participation, please E-mail, call 626-791-0259 If you still need a room/bed (or have an extra one or more available), particularly in Bridgeport on Saturday night, let me know ASAP. Thanks, Bib A Message from Bib... We had a great June ride from Cambria – our 14th annual – through wine country, to Parkfield for lunch, on to Pozo, Morro Bay and back. Fifty-nine bikes at the start, no tickets and only a few minor breakdowns, none involving Nortons. You should have been there! Back to Big Sur next year. Special thanks to Pat and Nanci Teter, Jamie Simpson and my son, William for chase truck duties on this year’s ride. And, if you missed this year’s Death Valley and Cambria runs, now is the time to think about renewing your long distance credentials by planning to join us on the 9th annual High Sierras/Yosemite Ride in September. Perhaps the quintessential California ride, one you know you’ve always wanted to do. We meet in Mariposa on Friday, September 10th and leave Saturday morning at 8:30 sharp from the Miners Inn (phone: 209 742-7777) at the intersection of highways 49/140. From there we head north on CA 49 to Sonora, Jackson, over Carson Pass to Markleville (lunch) and on to Bridgeport. There are a wide variety of motels in Mariposa but get your reservations early, particularly in Bridgeport where most of us stay at the Walker River Lodge (800 688-3351). On Sunday, after breakfast in Bridgeport, we head south (around 9 am) on 395 to Lee Vining, Tioga Pass, through Yosemite and back to Mariposa , usually by about 2 pm. Open country and rolling sweepers, spectacular canyons and passes (9000+ feet), REAL weather on occasion, and 350 miles of adventure with like-minded souls on classic bikes – the best reasons to ride. Details to follow on an October 10th ride in the Tehachapi’s, from Mojave to Lake Isabella and back via Randsburg. And, don’t ever forget the real Hansen Dam Ride, the 31st annual All British “Best Ride by a Dam Site” on Sunday, November 7th (always on the first Sunday in November)! Called “one of the country’s biggest classic bike happenings” by Cycle World several years ago, we attracted around 800 bikes to last year’s 30th anniversary event. Hope to see all of you at the dam this year. Questions/suggestions….? E-mail, call 626-791-0259 or join us at the monthly club meetings or on the road. Thanks, Bib
