Kernville Ride

[Dale Sprosty]

The Kernville overnight ride has been posted to the club calendar. I have reserved 10 rooms at the Kernville Inn for the nights of the 14th and 15th of October. Contact the Kernville Inn to secure room out of our reserved block of 10. The rooms are reserved to my credit card under “The South Coasters”. We have secured a 10% discount for group rates as well. Routes will be posted as we get closer to the date. Any questions please contact me. Additional information listed on the calendar.

I was in Kernville this weekend and had a great time riding a few of the roads we will be on in Oct. More to come on that later. There still 3 rooms left of the block I reserved. They are listed under the South Coast BMW Riders Club. If you are planning to attend please contact the Kernville Inn (See calendar for contact info) to reserve one before they are gone.

[Bill Reitz]

Hey Dale, did you ride to the Sherman Pass Overlook ?? Really pretty up there.

[Dale Sprosty]

I did Bill. Trail of the 100 Giants as well. Came back on 178 along the Kern River. So many roads so little time!

[Karl Wagner]

Very bummed we will not be able to make this…… 🙁
But celebrating 30 years with the bride of my youth is fine reason! 🙂

[Bill Reitz]

Come on Karl, what could be more romantic than an intimate weekend in Kernville and dinner at a small Italian restaurant with friends ???

[Karl Wagner]

I tried that Bill, it was ok for our 28th and 29th……but something about this year! :0

[Dale Sprosty]

Will miss you two Karl!! Right reason! There will be other rides. There won’t be another Sharon!!

[Karl Wagner]

Big thumbs up!

[John Crittenden]

Yes, will miss you two, totally understand!

[Dale Sprosty]

I just checked with the Kernville Inn (760) 376 3735 this afternoon and there are still 2 rooms reserved under the SCBMWRC name for the October Kernville ride. I will have to cancel those rooms on Sept. 14th or I will be charged for the rooms. If you are planning to attend please move the room under your name with your credit card. They still have rooms available besides these 2 so if there are additional people (beyond these 2) that would like to attend they have availability. Please let me know if you do in fact take one of the 2 rooms available.

[Bikram]

Booked 1 room. Thanks Dale.

[Roberto Giraldes]

Hi Dale. I’ve just booked one room. Thank you.

[Dale Sprosty]

Thanks Roberto and Bikram. Anyone else needing rooms please secure directly from Kernville Inn. The rooms I pre booked are gone but there are still rooms available. I look forward to seeing everyone attending on the 14th. I will post routes in the next couple of weeks.

[John Crittenden]

Can all candidates for this Kernville weekend please sign up on the ride list? There’s only a few noted. So we know who is coming.

Thanks!

[Bikram]

I won’t be going on this ride, I cancelled my room.

[Dale Sprosty]

I am looking forward to the Kernville club ride on the 14th of October. There will be 2 meet up locations. For thoser that want to meet in Orange county we will be leaving the Panera Bread location at the corner of Jamboree and Irvine Blvd at 7:30 am. KSU at 8:00 am for the ride up the 15 to Mountain Top Cafe. The address is:
7637 Highway 138
Phelan, Ca. 92371
(760) 249-4811
It is located right at the junction of the 138 and the 2. We will leave from this location at 10:00 am. See maps for routes. I am still looking at/working on the return route but will have that uploaded for all attendees this weekend. The weather forecast for the Kernville area that weekend is mid 70-80 degrees for all three days with no snow or rain forecasted. Should be beautiful this time of year.
I have dinner reservations Friday night at the That’s Italian Restaurant for the group. They did a great job last year for the large group we had and they are looking forward to seeing us again this year. We can decide as a group where we want to dine Saturday night and I will make the reservations when we get up there.
A special thank you to Bill Reitz for his input and map suggestions. Hopefully we can get all the way up Breckenridge in his and Karen’s honor. I look forward to seeing everyone on the 14th, if not before!!

Unfortunately Karen & I will not be going this year, DAMN !! Hope you all have a great time. On the Saturday ride to the BIG trees remember Bear Creek Rd is two way without a centerline for much of the way. There are a few places to pull over and wonder at the size of these Giant Sequoia’s. Look for the camp ground near a pond / lake and you can relax and walk around, even climb on a downed giant.

[Richard Catarineau]

Add one more DAMN to Bill’s post. I’m still in FL for another week so I had to cancel my Kernville Inn reservation. Oh well, we’ll look forward to seeing you guys next trip.

[Vern Shrader]

Dale,
Robin and I will plan to meet the group at Mountain Top.
Vern & Robin Shrader

[David Omlor]

Dale – I plan to meet you at 7:30 at the Jamboree/Irvine Blvd. Panera Bread.

Looking forward to this ride – always epic 🙂

– David

[Dale Sprosty]

Attached is the Day 3 map for the Kernville ride. I have attached a GPX as well as TYR edition for those that prefer one over the other. None of these routes are etched in stone. We can decide what makes sense for everyone when we are there. I have the following individuals/couples listed as attending.
Danny and Elaine
Dale
David Omlor
Ralf Tuchmann
Vern and Robin
John and Beth Crittenden
Roberto Giraldes
Michael Pirosh
If I have missed anyone please let me know so we don’t take off and leave someone behind. I will also need to adjust dinner reservations for Friday night. Weather forecasts are calling for mid 70’s all weekend with no rain forecasted. The leaves should be beautiful this time of year as well. See all of those attending on Friday either at Panera Bread on the corner of Jamboree and Irvine Blvd or at the Mountain Top Cafe at 138 and the 2. KSU at Panera at 8:00am and 10:00 at Mountain Top Cafe.

[John Crittenden]

Roberto, we are very glad you were there! Hopefully, you can put up with us on further adventures!

Dale, thanks for putting this weekend all together. Appreciate it muchly! (Except for the nasty winds that hit us in the desert east of Lancaster).

[Dale Sprosty]

We had a great weekend ride to Kernville. Weather was fantastic, roads were even better, and the company was the best part of all. I will write up a ride recap for the newsletter. In the meantime here are a few videos that you might like from the ride.

If you have trouble with these links please type in dsprosty on the search bar in youtube and it should take you to these videos.

[Roberto Giraldes]

Thank you so much John. I hope so. Thanks for the videos Dale.

[Mark Borgeson]

Looks like it was a lot of fun. Wish I could have gone.
Please send your favorite photos of the trip to [email protected]

[Danny Wassenaar]

GREAT WEEKEND! Thank you again Dale for being the ride leader this trip. Awesome job! The bar was set high given all the prep work & leadership you did. The routes, meals, videos, RSVPs, ride mtgs, even the weather…was all due to the good planning on your part. Some of us even ventured “off road” as the picture of you shows to check out the redwoods at Balch Park. Looking forward to the write up. -D&E

Botanically speaking, a fruit is a seed-bearing structure that develops from the ovary of a flowering plant, whereas vegetables are all other plant parts, such as roots, leaves and stems. … This includes such botanical fruits as eggplants, bell peppers and tomatoes.Jun 12, 2012

If you were on the ride, you know why this is posted!

[Mark Borgeson]

Because you’re all a bunch of nuts?

[Dale Sprosty]

Those that were on the Kernville ride please get your photos uploaded to Mark B to add to the gallery. I know a number of you took some very good photos over the weekend.

Thanks

Dale

[Mark Borgeson]

You can also give me your photos on a thumb drive at the next club meeting. I’ll copy them during the meeting.
