          Hotel reservation link is now available.  I would like to collect feedback to those considering attending.  I am considering adding the following attractions to our route.

          Solvang Motorcycle Museum and/or Olive Oil tasting at an orchard.  On a previous group ride, at least one of our members wanted to stop at a Olive Oil orchard but we didn’t get a chance to stop and I am happy to research a good one to visit on this trip.

          Your feedback would be appreciated.

            The Solvang Motorcycle Museum was part of the ride home during the Santa Maria Airfest Ride. Ric and I were the only ones who stopped there. The photo shows what the other two missed.

            Great place! I’ll gladly go again if I go on the ride.

            Another great stop nearby is Ellen’s Danish Pancake House in Buelton. Perfect for Breakfast or Lunch (open from 6A-2P). I can’t remember a breakfast that I enjoyed more.

              I’d definitely enjoy olive oil tasting.

                  Excellent!! Thank you Sergio. Day 1 already looks like a blast!!!

                  Just out of curiosity, is this the tentative route to our lunch spot on day 1? Panera Bread to Little Tujunga Canyon, then through Bouquet to Lake Elizabeth, past the Rock Inn and over to the Falcon’s Nest? It’s totally OK if there’s another route, just wondering if there’s a more scenic way to get there.

                      Segio,  Looking forward to this ride. I am planning on meeting up with the group in Frazier park.

                      And then race to the coast to cool off….

                        Sergio,  Jan and I are also going to meet you in Frazier Park at the lunch spot.  Long way out of the way for us to go to LaCanada first. Going over Grimes Canyon and then out the 126 to the 5 and then north to Frazier Park.

                            Steve, glad to have you and Jan on the ride.  See you in Frazier Park.  Falcon’s Nest appears to have closed so an alternative spot will be selected.

                            I’ve been up to Lompoc area before I love the Jalama beach and their great hamburgers where is the ride itinerary? Scott is military he was able to get us into the Vandenberg air force base where they launch the rockets maybe he could get our group in???? Gaudaloupe is a old looking Mexican town with great Mexican food too…..just saying…

                                Gary, I will be sharing itinerary in a few days.  As I mentioned initially, olive oil tasting and a stop a winery is goal.  Additionally, I would like to stop in Solvang Motorcycle Museum.  I have been to Jalama beach and is a nice destination.

                                You might try

                                Big John’s Mountain Kitchen in Frazier Park. I would call to double check the hours. Shows open 7am to 2:30pm Friday.

                                          I have been monitoring weather.  We may have to cut our trip a little short as Sunday looks to be a mess.

                                            But by Sunday, you’ll probably need a bike wash anyway. 😁
