The Los Osos MOA Weekend Getaway, situated on the Pacific Coast of San Luis Obispo (SLO) County near the southern end of the famous Morro Bay, is quickly becoming a South Coaster standard. The event runs Friday, May 14th, through Sunday, May 16th, and is held again this year at the Sea Pines Resort. MOA provides a dinner on Friday and Saturday nights, with over $500 in door prizes on Sat. The number of attendees is small so you are likely to win something.

It was great fun last year and we had a good turnout. Again, I’ll lead a group up on Friday and find some fun roads for Saturday. Register for the event with MOA; cost is $99. Contact the hotel directly for room reservations. If MOA says that it is sold out, that just means that the hotel is booked up. You can still attend but will have to find alternative lodging.

Give me a call if you have questions, 949 636-4769.

  Lorna and I just reserved a room at the Sea Pines Resort hotel, we got the last one at the $141/night rate. This should be a fun weekend!

    Any plan for camping? Morro Bay State Park is about 10 min away!

      Hey Willis – I’m sure you can stay wherever you like, though you’ll probably need to make your own arrangements.

      Willis,
      
      There is a campground on Montana de Oro which is closer to Los Osos.

  I wouldn’t mind camping at Morro Bay SP providing I can ride by then. I’ll be pissed if I can’t.That’s two months.

  Ron – Sooooo…if a camping event doesn’t provide a suitable motel option, it’s an outrage, but if a motel event doesn’t provide a camping option, you are on your own? I get it.
  
  I just checked availability. The closest campground that has available space is San Simeon State Park. It’s 29 miles (or 35 minutes) from the event.
  
  Let me know if anyone wants me to book a campsite.

  Bill, Ron,
  I accept responsibility for not ensuring that there are hotel AND camping options available and will fix that in the future. In any case, I hope that you talk face-to-face and put this disagreement/slight behind you. Let’s keep the ride threads free of personal issues. Thanks

  Please, let’s keep stuff (that used to be above) off the Forum, and stick to the topic.
  
  In my opinion, the ride leader does not have to provide an alternate camping or motel option, but can, as a courtesy. There’s already enough work involved.

  Bill and Ron are both my friends. I like them both a lot!
  I hated organizing rides when I was on the board. I was terrible at it and you certainly can’t please all the people all the time ATPATT 🙂

  Weather for next weekend looks great! Highs around 80s, lows at 50. They are getting a little rain this week so, fingers crossed, the wildflowers will pop.
  If you have not signed up, do it now. I need to confirm the number of sites by early next week. Thanks
