Borrego Springs 23-25 Feb 2018

[Larry Troffer]

We’ve planned a weekend trip to Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, Friday, 23 February to Sunday, 25 February.  I’ve reserved Group Site 3 at the Borrego –  Palm Canyon campground.  There are hotels very close by in Borrego Springs for those who prefer not to camp.  Bring your own chow or make the short trip to nearby restaurants.  Make your way to and from the site according to your own schedule; we’ll conduct a group day ride on Saturday.  As in all club camping trips, the club has paid for the campsite, and will collect a small fee per camper per night.  Keep in mind that California state parks collect an extra parking fee in addition to the cost of the campsite.

New information on fees for this event. Each person who stays at the campground is asked to pay the club $15.00 per person per night. This fee will offset the cost to the club for the campsite and will pay for plenty of firewood each night. Additionally, the club will reimburse the parking fee of $10.00 per-vehicle-per-night that the the park will collect from all riders after the first six arrivals.

The first six to arrive will pay $15.00 per night to the club, for a total of $30.00 for two nights. Anyone arriving afterwards, will pay $15.00 per night to the club and $10.00 per night to the park, for a total of $50.00 for two nights. The club will reimburse the parking fee to those riders who pay it, making everyone’s final cost $30.00 for two nights.

Please bring cash in the exact amount for your stay.

I just made a reservation at Borrego Springs Resort Golf Cab and Spas if anyone wold like to split a room.Its supposed to be nice and I think it is near where the campers will be.

Hey Jesse, Mike Pirosh stayed in a motel last year, not sure where, he might be someone to contact about sharing if he’s going.

Just as a reminder, Jacob F and I are doing an off road route Saturday for anyone interested. We will visit Font’s point and possibly the Wind Caves, Split Rock and Fish Creek areas if you are familiar with the area. We are looking for easy to moderate trails, staying away from the difficult stuff. It wont’s necessarily be easy, but it will be an adventure! Hope to see some nice natural wonders Anza-Borrego Desert State part is famous for!

This morning (12 Feb) there are 18 signed up on the ride list. Our group camp site is limited to 25 campers. If you plan to make this ride, please remember to sign up if you haven’t already.

[Jacob Furgatch]

Larry – Any plans for posting spots to meet for the ride out there?

[Larry Troffer]

Jacob – Karl is correct. The plan is that everyone arrives and departs on their own schedule and route. I do plan to post a suggested route from Irv Seaver Motorcycles for any who may wish to use it. Stand by.

[Karl Wagner]

Hi Jacob,

At the February club meeting Larry covered this, there is no organized ride Out Friday or Returning Sunday. It is up to anyone interested in group riding out to suggest a meet up.

At least that is what I remember….. ask Sharon if that is reliable, NOT.

Attached is a gpx file for Borrego Springs. You should find two routes here. One is a suggested route to the campground from Irv Seaver Motorcycles for anyone who wishes to use it. The other is the day ride on Saturday.

Larry, Tom White indicated he is also camping, don’t know if you had him on the “list”

[Jessie Vaca]

Anyone if you are interested Roberto hurt his back and is unable to attend Borrego Springs, I still have an opening for a room mate since he cannot go. Let me know if you are interested!

[Richard Catarineau]

With a low in the 30s we all might join you

[Karl Wagner]

Bring the Winter sleeping bag and plan on buying lots of firewood!

[Jacob Furgatch]

Anyone interested in meeting up mid-Friday morning to go over Ortega Highway, then down the 15 to the 76, and have lunch at Jilberto’s in Pauma Valley before continuing on to Anza Borrego? Several people have suggested Jilberto’s for lunch and I want to finally stop there this time on the way out.

[Troy Stone]

Troy and Michele have to back out. Troy has the flu and I don’t want to die in my tent…prefer my home. This stuff sucks! See you all when I recover.

[Karl Wagner]

Bummer Stones!!! Will be investigating the desert roads!

Get better and do not die!

[John Crittenden]

Yes, Mr. & Mrs. S, get well—–Although I hear that cold desert air does wonders for the flu.

[Jessie Vaca]

I’m st the hotel, it was a cold ride in just got here. Having a couple beers and dinner. What time is the ride in the morning where does it start??

[Bikram]

Thanks Larry for the Saturday ride. I got home at 6:30 PM with 420 miles on the odometer not bad for 1-day, very satisfying indeed. Great roads.

[John Crittenden]

Got to try out my new cot and air mattress! Still working on sleeping warm the whole night!
