Central Coast Ride – Morro Bay Camp 4/21-23/2017

[Karl Wagner]

Central Coast in the early Spring, green hills, cool nights, maybe even a bit of rain…… We have 4 campsites this year which can handle 12 bikes and a bunch of people. The Inn at Morro Bay is the hot tip for a hotel, walking distance to the State Park and right on the bay.

NEW – I was able to make a block reservation for 10 Standard Rooms, i.e. likely not on the bay. This is the best spot to hotel, right near the campground, which is our ride HQ, and on the bay! In order to get the rate of $165/night at the Inn at Morro Bay I needed to pre-pay for the rooms. Sooo, if you want one of the rooms at this great location, email me at [email protected] to hold your spot. I will collect non-refundable deposit checks of $200 at the November club meeting, or you can mail to me at 5014 Vista del Vegas, Torrance, CA 90505. these 10 rooms will go fast so please do not hesitate!

There is also a Best Western and Comfort Inn a bit farther from the Camp Central in Morro Bay proper. All activities and meet ups will be at Morro Bay State Park Campground.

Camping for the weekend is $30 per Bike for the two nights camping. We will have a catered barbecue dinner Saturday night, price tbd, and several great restaurants in the area for bfast and other meals.

Plan on a relaxing beautiful weekend getting to, riding around and getting home from the Central Coast with the South Coasters April 21-23, 2017!

[Erasmo Brenes]

Is this place instead of El Capitan? 🙂

[Bill Reitz]

Yes Erasmo, El Cap is getting a break so new roads can be found to ride.

[Karl Wagner]

Hi Central Coast riders, please see the top post for an update as to the available housing!!! We have blocked out 10 rooms at the Inn at Morro Bay! This is a great inn right next to the campgound ride HQ. If you are interested in booking a room for the ride, email me at [email protected]!! See details above!

[John Crittenden]

At this time, I’m in for camping. Don’t believe Beth will be on this ride.

[Roberto Giraldes]

Hi Karl! I am going to follow John. I’m in for camping.

[Richard Catarineau]

I’m camping!

[Mark Borgeson]

I’ll be camping too.

[Karl Wagner]

Anyone else want in on the room at the Inn at Morro Bay?

[Paul Nelson]

Hi South Coasters, I received an update call from the Inn at Morro Bay this morning letting me know we have just two more weeks, until March 20, 2017 to make reservations for those who wish to stay at the hotel under the club block of rooms. So, if you would like to stay in this nice hotel, walking distance to the Morro Bay State Park, please call:

805 772-5651 and make your reservation as part of the South Coast BMW Riders Club block of rooms. Do it today!

[Karl Wagner]

Roll Call!

Please see below for who I understand are registered for this weekend. Those that have signed up on the Ride List sign up have first come, first serve parking at the campsites. Please see below, and if you are not signed up on the ride list, please do so. If you indicated you are going to be in a hotel room, but have not made a reservation, do so soon.

If you have any question, please let me know. If we fill up camping, we will need to get additional sites.

Karl, I see that you are not camping!:-)
Add us (Diane and I) to the camping list.

[Karl Wagner]

Erasmo, It would help greatly if you can sign up on the Ride List. Getting in the habit of using it will make the ride leaders job much easier. Yes, I will add you and Dianne, on the list. May need to park the bike in overflow, definitely the car.

Thanks,

K

[Karl Wagner]

Yes, when there is a bayside hotel within walking distance to the campground at this rate………I will pretty much loose everytime! :0

I will be camping on the Anza Borrego ride in a few weeks, are you going?

[Erasmo Brenes]

Well, Diane checked out the hotel and overrode my camping 🙂
We’ll be staying at the hotel as well, so you can free up our camping spot.
As for the rider list, it is a pita the way it is implemented, so I’m not able to “join” the list 🙂

[Richard Catarineau]

Erasmo – you followed the Member’s Guide (on the Home page)?
What exactly can’t you do?

[Karl Wagner]

Let’s have a Ride List training session around the campfire at Morro Bay!

Good to hear you are in the Hotel…….sounds like Sharon and Dianne collaborated!!! 🙂

[Erasmo Brenes]

It’s a PITA to keep the email sent by your website. Since we can only post if we’ve logged in, why the additional hoops to jump? Shouldn’t it be as straight as one pushed button?

[Richard Catarineau]

Agreed. I don’t like the design either. It could obviously be better, but it’s a free plugin and I can’t change that part.

[Karl Wagner]

Ok, this is a ride……..not a technical topic……apologies for the request. I appreciate the sign ups, and considering we are getting to our limit of spots in the campsites, I just wanted to know if we needed to rent another one…..

Now let’s ride!!! 🙂

[Karl Wagner]

Sharon and I suffered for you all as we traveled to the Central Coast this past weekend and pre-rode the routes and made final plans in the area. The hills are green and the flowers are beginning to bloom! With the extra day this year we get to enjoy a very nice route in the central coast, have some amazing food and enjoy a relaxing weekend.

From the registration it looks like we will have 25 South Coasters on 23 bikes as of this time, going to be a party! If you have not registered, there are still rooms at the Inn at Morro Bay and we can fit a couple more tents in the RV spots if needed, do not hesitate to ask.

Please see the calendar event on the web page which will be updated with the current information.

Please see the top of this topic for the route files.

Great to hear the Music Man will be on the ride!!

[Paul Nelson]

Bummer, Gale and I are out of the Morro Bay ride (sad)

We sold our trailer!!! (glad)

Wishing you all a great time!

[Karl Wagner]

Good to hear you sold the trailer you Paul and Gail!

Sorry to hear we will not see you two! (there is always the hotel, 🙂 )

[Richard Catarineau]

It was a tough decision, but I’m going to miss the campout. My prepper group is going to Front Sight for handgun training that same weekend, and I really, really want my CCW. (Not that it will do my any good in Kali).

[Karl Wagner]

Hi folks,

Please see the calendar item for the latest updates. As of today, with late registrations and change in plans, we have 21 bikes. It is going to be a fun weekend of beautiful Central Coast green, flower covered hills, great food, and BMW fellowship. I will need confirmations for the Saturday dinner by the time we leave our meetup, 9am, to place the order for dinner. We can do that at the meet up, or please let me know via this forum, text, call or email.

See you all in Three Weeks!

Karl

[Roberto Giraldes]

Hi Karl! I am not going anymore. Please, take my name off the list.
Thank you.
Roberto

[Karl Wagner]

Got it, thanks for letting us know. Please update the Ride List to assist planning.

[Erasmo Brenes]

Karl, Sharon,

Thanks for putting a great weekend of riding. Great group of people. Had a blast!
Till next year!

[John Crittenden]
