Oh boy, here we go. May will still be cool, beautiful in the AM and bug free before 10:00 am. After that, very manageable. Most of the schools are still in until June so the kick off to vacation time is still a week or two out. Eureka will still have off season rates and there are so many places to stay, all biker friendly, rooms won't be a problem. As for September...can still be fairly hot during the day, bugs are worse but again, the early rides will be fine. I would caution having it during the Bikes, Blues & BBQ as the area is absolutely CHOKED with people, 250,000 last year. Plus BB&Q is NOT a sportbike event, 90% hardley, clone or other v-twin. The good rides are heavy with these dinosuars, all going about 50 mph. I was so disgusted with last year's event, I dought I even go this year. Plus, as with all events this size, every tom #### and harry is gouging, prices for our normally cheap area go through the roof. Last year, Eureka was totally full. This time will frustrate even the slowest of sportbike riders....However, if ya know the roads, it's a blast to mess with them.....Since I'm in Eureka about 2 or 3 times a month if not more, it doesn't matter to me. Guess I'll wait for a tie-breaker vote. I am however, putting together a list of the coolest rides, you'll want to do them all! I will also put together a list of my favorite Eureka hotels, lodges, cabins and campgrounds for your review.
