After two years absence, we’re back riding to Yuma this coming March. And what better weekend than March 10!. We’ll be staying at the Radisson Hotel in Yuma and I will be leading the ride on Saturday, returning on Sunday. Chris Roady will be leading anyone who may want to go on Friday.
To get a room, call the Radisson at 928-373-6570, ask for Ashley and/or Reservations and mention the rooms reserved for the SCBMW Riders club. Rooms are $102 for a King bed, or $112 for 2 Double beds. These rooms are held until February 10th.
Details for the route ride will be posted soon (ie GPX files), but likely we’ll be taking the 78 east through Glamis then down S34 to I-8, and on the return Sunday, will likely visit the famous prison, then follow the border, with either lunch in Barrett Junction or go up to Julian for lunch (through the 79).

Update. Tom White will be leaving on Friday as well. Anyone who wants to leave then can contact him.
The Saturday ride meets at Starbucks San Juan Capistrano Mission at 8:00am and leaves at 8:15am.
We’re planning on having lunch in Calexico, then arriving in Yuma mid afternoon. On Sunday, we’ll visit the
famous Yuma Prison and then head back looking for Salvation :-). Plan on having lunch in Borrego Springs
at the Red Ocotillo (was recommended by people who went there on the Borrego Springs campout).
I need a head count for the reservations for lunch and dinner. So far, I understand this to be the list:Jessie V.
Tom W.
Brandon W.
Dan Burtt
Chris R.
David O.
Roberto G.
Garry N
Dale S (Maybe?)Let me know if you’re not on that list and want to go.
Attached are the garmin gpx files for the trip.

Friday forecast is that we’ll be running ahead of the rain in the OC/Temecula area 🙂
Thereafter, there is no rain forecasted for Calexico, etc (for now).
On Sunday, rain is forecasted in the morning, tapering off by the afternoon (in the OC/Temecula) area. So, if
we keep on track of time, we should also avoid it on Sunday.Given the change to Daylight Savings Time on Sunday we have a slight schedule conflict. The Yuma Prison
opens at 9am, which is 10am for CA. Thus, we’ll have to decide on Saturday night dinner which of the two
stops to pick (ie Yuma Prison vs Salvation Mtn) in order to make it in time for lunch in Borrego Springs (Red Ocotillo). -
