Sounds good to me.
Finally some good Mexican food.
Ride to eat!

Sounds like a great ride to eat opportunity! I’m in.

I’m in as well!

Darn! I’ll be working. Sounds like a great ride! Have fun.

Sounds like a fun ride. Too bad I’ll be in Mammoth, so I regretfully won’t be able to make it.
Please take lots of pics for the Newsletter!

Can you get a 1-day motorcycle insurance prior to entering Mexico? It is mandatory. I might be in.

Bikram – go back and read the part where we WALK across the Border for lunch.

You may not require insurance for walking…

mmmmm, I can almost taste the Tamales and Chile Rellenos……….

Thanks David. I didn’t see that. Was reading this on a phone while still in bed. Ok, you are right, no insurance required for walking.

But it is 3 blocks DOWNHILL, then 3 blocks UPHILL on a FULL stomach. So do your exercises now!

Breakfast @ Hell’s Kitchen?

Is it 9 AM KSU in Lake Elsinore?

Gracias Senior Crittenden!

I know you aren’t riding over the Sunrise Hwy (Laguna Mtn Lodge) but they are saying the road is in poor to fair condition due to ice so always carry chains if coming to visit. There has been quite a bit of snow up there. Check their Facebook page.

In the news – Ortega highway is closed as of 25 January both directions for estimated three weeks. Storm damage.

Darn Larry you beat me to it. Trish just contacted me on the Facebook page. Here is the info from Caltrans:

SR 74
[IN THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AREA]
IS CLOSED FROM 3.8 MI EAST OF SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO (ORANGE CO) TO GRAND AVE /IN LAKE ELSINORE/ (RIVERSIDE CO) – DUE TO A SINKHOLE – MOTORISTS ARE ADVISED TO USE AN ALTERNATE ROUTE – RESIDENTS WILL BE PERMITTED WITH PROPER IDENTIFICATION

If the start point changes please contact me at breitz8552@gmail so I can fix the Facebook page. Thanks.

NEW MEETING POINT !!

John & I just talked and to make it easier for the south county boys the NEW MEETING SPOT is the Mobil Gas station at the Old Hwy 395 & Hwy 76 intersection. Leave time is now 0930. If coming down the I-15 exit at #46 to Hwy 76, turn right and the Mobil station is on the right. Those coming down I-5 take 76 east and the Mobil will be on the left just before crossing I-15.

John,
What time do you plan on being in Tecate and where? Robin and I are thinking of meeting the group there in Tecate.
Vern Shrader

I don’t think we have a restaurant picked out, but it will probably be around the town center square, around the big Tecate sign in the park. You can call me when you get there – 323-229-3134. I don’t know what time, but KSU at 9:30, and maybe 2-3 hours ride.

Ric,
Okay let me ask the question a different way. Is the group coming down I-15 to I-5 to Hwy 94 (E)? If so, we can wait for you on Hwy 94 somewhere?
Vern

Hey John and Rick – Thanks for planning such a GREAT ride for us today. Street tacos were yummy and the day was so perfect…with a bit of thermal cycling! Nice to see the snow in the *sides* of the road.

I really doubt the ride took place at all today given Ortega hwy was closed. Send proof to the contrary to [email protected]
