By popular demand we are going back to Kernville!! Join us for a 3-day ride into the Sierras on June 23 – 25, 2023. We will depart from Panera Bread in La Canada on Friday morning with an 8:30am meet-up and 9:00am KSU. We have both hotel and camping available.
For the campers we have two sites reserved at Franzy Campground which is just across the river from downtown Kernville. Each site will hold 4 tents and 4 bikes each. We can reserve more sites if these fill up quickly. The cost is $45.00 per night per site which will be split between the campers. Contact Steve Leo, [email protected] 562-547-9092 to reserve your camping spot.We have reserved 12 rooms at the Kernville Inn, our favorite spot in Kernville, right on the square. We have 6 rooms with 2 double beds in each room ($159.00 per night + tax), 4 rooms with a king bed ($149.00 + tax) and 2 rooms with a queen bed ($139.00+ tax). Please call the Kernville Inn to block your room. You will need to give them a credit card for the first night’s cost to reserve your room. The block of rooms is under SCBMWRC.

Kernville Inn

Kernville, CA 93238
760-376-2206We are adding a new feature to this ride – “Our Wives’ Carpool “. We are setting up a carpool program so your wives/girlfriends can join us for the evening parties on the lawn of the Kernville Inn, dinner at That’s Italian and live music and dancing across the square at the Kernville Saloon. We will be asking a few of the wives/girlfriends to drive to Kernville and back with other wives’/girlfriends as passengers. We will ask the wives joining in the carpool to share the gas expense for each car. We will organize sightseeing adventures on Saturday for the wives such as a visit to the Trail of 100 Giants. The key objective of this program is to bring the wives/girlfriends of our members together and to share our adventures with us. If your wife or girlfriend is interested in driving or riding along please contact Diane Brenes – [email protected] or Steve Leo – [email protected] .
Sign up and join the PARTYGPX Routes will be posted at a later date.

Kernville Party Update
We currently have 16 bikes and 3 wives signed up. We also have 2 wives riding 2-up and 1 riding her own bike. We need more ladies to join us for the Party!!! The Kernville Inn is sold out but they will put us on the waiting list for cancellations. If you want to go on the ride and need a room send me an email and I will put you on the wait list.
We still have 2 campsites reserved. Please let me now if you want a space as I will be cancelling the second campsite if we do not get more people signed up.
We have dinner reservations at That’s Italian for Saturday night at 7:00pm. Good news for breakfast…the Cracked Egg has moved and is now part of That’s Italian so there will be plenty of space for breakfasts. We also have Cheryl’s next door to the Kernville Inn for breakfasts.
We are waiting on setting the routes until we see what the snow situation is on Sherman Pass closer to the ride. We will probably send out the routes a week before the ride.

We currently have 15 bikes registered.
New fun route from Panera to Keene – no Hwy 14. We have 2 routes for Friday after lunch: Twisties and Sweepers – your choice
2 routes for Saturday: Road closures are changing daily so we want to be ready so we have two routes. If some want to ride to Springville and some want to ride to Sherman Pass we will split up and do both routes – your choice
1 – Johnsondale/California Hot Springs/Porterville/Springville – lreturn same route due to road closures. Lunch at Cowpunchers Cafe, Springville
2 – 178/395 North/9 Mile Rd/Kennedy Meadows Rd/Sherman Pass Rd. Lunch at Grumpy Bears Retreat. If Sherman Pass is open we go over and down Kernville side. If it is not open we backtrack same way we came.

The weather should be just right: Clear at night and sunny by day, temperatures from 51 to 80°F, wind 3-8 mph avg, no rain predicted. That’s the Kernville Saturday forecast. Friday is a couple degrees cooler and Sunday is a couple degrees warmer. Of course we can expect Sherman Pass to be significantly cooler.
I’ve been suffering from a raging head cold since Friday evening, but I feel significantly better this evening than I did this morning and I can breathe through my nose again so I think I should be over it by Friday. Home-tested 3 times for COVID with fresh BinaxNOW kits and the results were all negative.

Reminder – Meet-up at 8:30am with KSU at 9:00am Friday. Lunch at Keene Cafe – Exit 139 off of Hwy 58 just north of Tehachapi 11:30am.
