Los Osos MOA Weekend Away: May 14 – 16

[Eric Wolf]

The Los Osos MOA Weekend Getaway, situated on the Pacific Coast of San Luis Obispo (SLO) County near the southern end of the famous Morro Bay, is quickly becoming a South Coaster standard. The event runs Friday, May 14th, through Sunday, May 16th, and is held again this year at the Sea Pines Resort. MOA provides a dinner on Friday and Saturday nights, with over $500 in door prizes on Sat. The number of attendees is small so you are likely to win something.

It was great fun last year and we had a good turnout. Again, I’ll lead a group up on Friday and find some fun roads for Saturday. Register for the event with MOA; cost is $99. Contact the hotel directly for room reservations. If MOA says that it is sold out, that just means that the hotel is booked up. You can still attend but will have to find alternative lodging.

Give me a call if you have questions, 949 636-4769.

Hey Eric – Let me know if you need any assistance with GPX route files!

[Ron Zablocki]

Lorna and I just reserved a room at the Sea Pines Resort hotel, we got the last one at the $141/night rate. This should be a fun weekend!

[Ron Zablocki]

Eric – I just noticed this event isn’t on the Club Calendar?

[Bill Allen]

Ron – You must be looking at the wrong calendar. It’s there!

[Ron Zablocki]

My bad – not sure what I was looking at.

[Eric Wolf]

Ron, I’m so glad that you and Lorna will be there. The ride list was just updated to include Los Osos (thanks Brandon). Please add your names.

[Eric Wolf]

Hi Everyone,
Los Osos is on the ride list. Please add your names so that I know how many are going. Thanks

Any plan for camping? Morro Bay State Park is about 10 min away!

[Ron Zablocki]

Hey Willis – I’m sure you can stay wherever you like, though you’ll probably need to make your own arrangements.

[Erasmo Brenes]

Willis,

There is a campground on Montana de Oro which is closer to Los Osos.

[Eric Wolf]

Sorry Willis, no camping planned but I encourage everyone who is interested to contact and coordinate with Willis.

[Eric Wolf]

Erasmo,
Thanks for the tip on Montana de Oro.

[Bill Allen]

I wouldn’t mind camping at Morro Bay SP providing I can ride by then. I’ll be pissed if I can’t.That’s two months.

[Bill Allen]

Ron – Sooooo…if a camping event doesn’t provide a suitable motel option, it’s an outrage, but if a motel event doesn’t provide a camping option, you are on your own? I get it.

I just checked availability. The closest campground that has available space is San Simeon State Park. It’s 29 miles (or 35 minutes) from the event.

Let me know if anyone wants me to book a campsite.

[Eric Wolf]

Bill, Ron,
I accept responsibility for not ensuring that there are hotel AND camping options available and will fix that in the future. In any case, I hope that you talk face-to-face and put this disagreement/slight behind you. Let’s keep the ride threads free of personal issues. Thanks

[John Crittenden]

Please, let’s keep stuff (that used to be above) off the Forum, and stick to the topic.

In my opinion, the ride leader does not have to provide an alternate camping or motel option, but can, as a courtesy. There’s already enough work involved.

[Mark Borgeson]

Bill and Ron are both my friends. I like them both a lot!
I hated organizing rides when I was on the board. I was terrible at it and you certainly can’t please all the people all the time ATPATT 🙂

[Eric Wolf]

Weather for next weekend looks great! Highs around 80s, lows at 50. They are getting a little rain this week so, fingers crossed, the wildflowers will pop.
If you have not signed up, do it now. I need to confirm the number of sites by early next week. Thanks

[Willis Ho]

Just checked with the Sea Pines Resort, they sold out the room on Friday, May 14, 2 rooms on Saturday still available. Please let me know if someone like to share the room.

Hi South Coasters! Everyone who is going to Los Osos, please sign up on the ride list. Ray S, are you going? Others? Bill P?
This is a great event in a beautiful location.

[Ray Santos]

Hi Eric yes i’m interested but might have to look for alternative place to stay.

[Eric Wolf]

Thanks for the update Ray. I hope you can make it!

[Willis Ho]

There are more room at Sea Pines available for the Los Osos MOA event, if anyone else likes to go.
