SoCal ride 2008!!  May 2nd, 3rd & 4th

Yes, a very good idea, indeed. Thanx, Charles, if I do say so myself.
 
Hey Charles, thanks for the invite.  I'm going to try and be there for Saturday and Sunday.  Ride over Friday and ride home Monday.  Some great roads you've chosen.  Sounds like a lot of fun. Definaely beats our local Arizona roads. Sorry I haven't gotten back to you sooner but work has been crazy (when it isn't raining).
 
My ears are perked! I'll make plans to addend.
It'll be good to ride with you again

That's awesome Danny!!

Trust me you won't regret making the trip

Definately looking forward to it. Haven't ridden any good miles in a long time. I ridden some of the roads Palamar and the Borego area. But none of the ones up north. I know it will be a blast.
 
Thanks for thinking of me and I would be there if it was at all possible.

Love ya, mean it.

Yeah Baby!!! Sounds like FUN!!!

I'm down for Saturday and Sunday for sure. I marked my calendar for Friday as well but I'll have to see how work is going that week.

I just hate being centrally located halfway between these San Diego and Los Angeles highways we'll be riding.

Just tell me when / where to meet!

Cheers!

were going out this sunday as well
 
PM sent Charles,

Count me and my wife in for at least one of the rides.

I'll be on our '02 VFR though, since Keri has offically stolen the Busa from me as her favorite bike.

OK, tomorrow I'm off to test ride one of the routes. Basically its the Santa Monica Mts, Ojai, Grimes Canyon, and back to the Santa Monica Mts.

I'll post back up mileage and meet points with proposed times.

WOW!! That's a route. Which day is this route? I'm guessing the first day.

Here's to Danny coming all the way from Arizona just to ride with us SoCal peeps. Can't wait to see you again my friend.

We could go for Lockwood Valley or Cerro Noreste that day for extra credit

Although that dumb creek that crosses Lockwood near the 33 will probably turn that area of the road into an ice-rink.
 
Sounds like a blast I might be able to get a few other central coast riders in on this.

Or, as previously described at Palomar: Icy Sandbox.

I still laugh about that...
 
Just got home!!  I'm a little sore

 After 5 months of no long distance riding, I'm out of shape and I took the 750.  That seat gets really hard by the end of the day

Great ride though, beautiful day, couldn't ask for better weather.

You guys shoulda come.  In Ojai, they had 2 college girls wearing nothing but short shorts and stickers over their nipples.  AND they were on roller skates.  Advertising something, the banner was in their hands, I wasn't looking at their hands

The ride, in miles, comes out to;
LGB to LGB = 378 miles
Sarting meet point to ending meet point(Santa Monica) = 306 miles

In hours it took me(including breaks and lunch);
LGB to LGB = 8 hours 45 minutes
Sarting meet point to ending meet point(Santa Monica) = 7 hours 25 minutes

This will probably be the Sunday ride.
