Join us for the 1st General Meeting of the 2020-2021 Riding Year!     Special gifts for new members, 50/50, breakfast, meeting/greeting, and news for the coming year!   Followed by a ride to Big Bear and environs!

As we get closer, I will confirm with the Oaks for inside seating. And, for those who wish, we’ll have a ride to The Oaks, 9 a.m.

Anyone interested in a trail ride for the adventure bikes post here. We will pick trails to accomodate the skill level of anyone who wants to go off road.

Maybe I’m overly concerned about COVID-19, but not sure I’m ready for indoor dining. Might come after the breakfast and just meet up for the ride around Big Bear.

[Chris Roady]

You aren’t alone Joe. Numbers are going up in many states and me and mine are continuing to Social Distance.

[Karl Wagner]

Can we bring our camp chairs, order out from the restaurant and meet in teh parking lot, physical distancing? We would be up for that.

[David James]

I just joined as a new member and will be looking forward to being there. Any feed back will be appreciated.

[John Crittenden]

Again, as we get closer to the date, we will see how it’s going, but the parking lot idea will work, I believe.

Look forward to meeting our Newbies—-there are a good number this month!

[Ron Zablocki]

I’ve done indoor dining recently, and social distancing guidelines were in place. I’m good with eating indoors if this is the case here as well. And I have no camping chairs, and couldn’t bring them if I did.

[Bill Schimko]

on the fence, sorry, i’ll make a final call the day before

[John Crittenden]

I checked with The Oaks today—–we should be good to go for Saturday, at the very least, can get food and have our chairs, etc. outside. I will call them again Wednesday.

[Brandon Wilson]

I won’t be there. Still in Oregon.

[Bill Allen]

I won’t be there. I’m still not ready to ride.

Have fun!

[Ron Zablocki]

Hi John – Are you planning a group ride to The Oaks Restaurant?

[John Crittenden]

Brandon, Bill A, Bill R========will miss you all.

Ron, I can lead a ride to The Oaks, thence to Big Bear. Say we meet at the Chevron at Green River in Corona/91 at 9 a.m.? If you want, you can bring anyone in your area.

And, before you ask: No, I’m not doing a GPS route—–riding by the seat of my pants!

[Ron Zablocki]

Hey John – I’m not familiar with that area, any chance you have an address for that Chevron?

And wait, what?? Bring anyone – even someone not on a BMW??? 🧐

[Bill Schimko]

Hi John, I’d like to join in the group ride, meeting at chevron gas, green river, 9:00 Saturday, is that etched in stone ?? if so, i’ll be there, but could/would you please say for sure !! that’s the time and place ?? thanks, bill

[Bill Allen]

Ron Z – Green River is the exit off the 91 between the tollroad and the 71. Easy to find. Good meetup place.

[Ron Zablocki]

Thanks Bill! 👍

[Gilbert Galvez]

See you guys at Chevron.

[David Eastly]

Looking forward to it! I’ll be dining in the parking lot and bringing my camp chair.

[Joe Alwan]

Hey David, that’s my plan too.

FYI… The Oaks is only outdoor dining and takeout now. They closed indoor dining a few days ago after the governor’s latest order.

[Erasmo Brenes]

Is “everybody” meeting at the Chevron at 9am and then driving up to Angelus Oaks?

[Joe Alwan]

Hey Erasmo – I’m planning to be at the Chevron at 9am. I have no idea how many people will be there. If it’s a big group, we could split into smaller groups for the ride up

[Ron Zablocki]

The Chevron is optional, you can elect to go directly to the restaurant if you like.

[Karl Wagner]

Nice to see the group that made the first back in person monthly meeting in several months and to John C for a sweet ride up and back hwy 38, love that pavement.

The votes are in and Erasmos, “Viva la Revelotion” covid beard won on style points… 🙂

That is one hell of a beard Erasmo! Between that and the Cigars, you are almost a new poster child for a COVID hobby Emmy 🙂

[Erasmo Brenes]

They were calling the Generalisimo Franco 🙂
Just need to find me a country that is looking for a Dictator!! Haha!

[Joe Alwan]

Thanks John C for today’s meeting and ride! Was great to see everyone again. Saw 110.3 degrees on my bike in Riverside on the way home! I think that’s a new personal record! Not sure which I liked better at the A&W stop – the root beer float or re-charging the cooling vest!

[Erasmo Brenes]

Yes, thanks John C for the meeting and ride. Had a great time. Joe, my bike’s thermometer indicated 111F at the junction of the I-10 and 215. Ouch!
I videoed our ride back through the R-38. John C, Leon, and Joe in front, plus a short clip of the stop in Big Bear.
How do I upload them to the website? Or should I load them to Youtube and place a link here?

[Erasmo Brenes]

Here is a photo extracted from the video.

Nice capture!

[Gilbert Galvez]

Thank you John for leading a nice ride. It is nice to see members going out to attend the meeting even with the COVID issue and a pretty hot day to ride. But still, I have a lot of fun! Looking forward for the next meeting and fun ride.

[John Crittenden]

Yes, was a lot of fun! In spite of the toastiness. Thanks to all that made it to The Oaks!
