[Jessie Vaca]

Hey everyone, we are getting closer to our dates for El Capitan! Sorry for the bad info on the calendar, I really don’t remember why but for some reason the dates on the calendar don’t match the campground reservations that were made back in November!

Rick and Lisa are camping, in one (big) tent.

[Karl Wagner]

Karl and Sharon are both in, two bikes, one tent….. unless I am in trouble that week!

[Mark Borgeson]

I’ll be there probably by myself. One bike and one tent.

[Mark Borgeson]

Karl Wagner – when aren’t you in trouble???

[Karl Wagner]

Mark B, seems like I am always….. :0

Glad Sharon has a lot of grace! 🙂

[Adam Ray]

Are members children invited to camp?

[Troy Stone]

Troy and Michele Stone camping in one tent. 2 bikes.

[Karl Wagner]

Adam, I certainly see no reason not, heck most of us act like kids!

Hope they come along!

Karl

[John Crittenden]

I will be in. Not sure if Beth is coming or not. One tent.
And, Adam, children are okay—-how many are you bringing?

[Adam Ray]

I’m in for one tent. My wife will drive up with my son either Friday or Saturday for one night. Thanks.

[Bikram]

1 bike 1 tent

[Brandon Wilson]

Brandon with bike and tent.

[Bill Allen]

I’m in! I’ll be in charge of Margaritas!

[Bill Allen]

Adam – Parking a car might be a problem. You may have to unload it at the campsite and park it some distance away. Be prepared for that!

[Adam Ray]

Hi Bill,… Understood, thanks.

[Steve Leo]

Jan and I will be there. We have our own Camp Site as we are bringing our motorhome. We will arrive Friday morning and departing on Monday morning. We are in Site 112 – right by the groups sites. Do you need me to bring tables and chairs or ???? like last time? It looks like we are bringing one guest who is a potential member.

[Larry Troffer]

I plan to go.

[Jessie Vaca]

I am going to try to attach the maps that I got from Bill R. Plan on meeting at:
Spaghettini at 3009 Old Ranch Pkwy @ 08:30 AOB (Ass On Bike) @ 09:00
McDonalds in Moorpark for people on the north side AOB by 10:30

Please take a look at these routes, I hope some of your guys who have been there before can help lead some of the rides!

FYI we have 3 camp sights in the upper section
100, 102 & 104!!

[David Eastly]

I’ll be there. One bike, tent and participant. Can’t wait!

[Richard Catarineau]

Rick and Lisa are camping – 2 bikes, one tent

[Chris Roady]

If there is still room in the campground, I’m in with 1 bike and 1 tent

[Jessie Vaca]

I’ll add you!

[Richard Catarineau]

This is the correct topic for El Capitan 2018.

[Richard Catarineau]

Is anyone meeting in Moorpark? Above says we’re leaving there at 10:30. I’ll be at the Starbucks in back of the McDonalds.

[Jessie Vaca]

Hello everyone I have an optional ride suggestion for Saturday fro Steve Leo, looks like a fun ride i am including it in case we decide to try it!
Looks like we will have somewhere around 20 people on this ride!

[David Eastly]

Hey Jessie, where and when is the lunch stop on Saturday?

[Tom Hooper]

Looks like I am going 1 bike, 1 rider, 1 tent, 1 case Pinot Noir
Tom Hooper

[Karl Wagner]

A Case Mr. Hooper?? Going light this weekend I see…. 🙂

Look forward to your campfire stories, get them warmed up!!!!

[Jessie Vaca]

Dave,I haven’t figured that out yet, any suggestions?

[Karl Wagner]

My suggestion for casual good Santa Maria style barbecue and more…

Rancho Nipomo BBQ
Santa Maria, CA

https://www.ranchonipomobbq.com/

[Jessie Vaca]

That’s an option Karl, thanks for the suggestion. I was looking at Bill’s and Steve Leo’s suggested routes for Saturday and both have waypoints at Woodys Butcher Block in Danta Maria also! So we can do woodys that gets good ratings or Rancho Nipomo that is also in Santa Maria and gets good ratings! We could also do both! 😉

[Bill Reitz]

Hi Jessie, My route is the one we rode in 2016 and stopped for lunch at Woodys at Mr. Crittenden’s suggestion so if the food is no good blame him !! 😉 There is no seating inside or out so we all sat on the grass and ate our sandwiches. BBQ tri-tip in Santa Maria or Lompoc is always a big hit.

[John Crittenden]

In case you would like, several of us are bringing our gloves to play a little catch and bring back some of the good times playing ball!

[Adam Ray]

Unfortunately, I can’t make it this weekend. Knowing it’s last minute, I’m happy to pay for my part of the campsite. Jesse, please ping me 949-874-7793 to coordinate when free. I’m bummed I’m going to miss this especially since my son hasn’t been camping yet.

[Richard Catarineau]

Lisa and I are going to ride up early tomorrow. We’ll meet you all at the campsite.

And yes John, I’m bringing my baseball glove.

[Tom Hooper]

I don’t have a ball glove but I have an excellent wine opener 🍷

[Bikram]

I don’t believe that I will be coming. Haven’t prepared for this trip.

[Troy Stone]

I have been delayed on a boat return trip and Michele and Troy not make it.

Bikes are packed but we’re just leaving San Diego due to a mechanical issue.

Not enough time in a day…

[Karl Wagner]

Sorry you two did not make it Troy and Michelle, good weekend. To many toys and that four letter word, “work” keeps getting in the way.

See you next run.

[Troy Stone]

We are signed up and heading to the 49er Rally for sure and hope Michele has a better return trip this year!!! Thanks for the note.

[Karl Wagner]

LOL, I would avoid that intersection this year!

No planning on doing the 49er specifically this year, but may be on a ride up the state and drop in a visit.

Karl
