Ok, responding to requests I have attached the DRAFT routes for the Sierra Passes Ride scheduled for June 21-24, 2018 in order for those on the fence to get an idea of the likely routes, generally we will be taking. Please note, this is not a request for input or comment, these are in draft form. I have a lot to to to locate stops along the way and and confirm the details of the routes, which will likely result in small adjustments to get the best final route along these general routes.
I hope this provides the information those requesting need to decide if this is a trip for them or not.
Thank you,
Karl

Hi, Karl. I appreciate the post, but I don’t have the software to open any of these files. Sure, I’m sure I can open them on my old laptop I use ONLY to update maps on my Nav4, but it’s stuffed under my bed gathering dust and protecting me from monsters.
Would it be possible to list the waypoints?
Thank you, -

That happened once before. I led a group to Roads End in Kings Canyon. After the rest break at the end, I waited for Vern and Robin Shrader to finish their shopping in the general store while the rest of the group rode off to have lunch at the lodge. By the time they were ready to ride, the rest of the group was long gone. I got a “what’s the plan?” look from Vern to which I said “Go get ’em!”. What followed was the most exhilarating ride of my life. Keeping my attention firmly fixed on Vern’s tail light, I managed to keep up. We ordered lunch at the same time as the group. Now, could I do that again with Vern on his K16 and me on my Airhead (along with my diminished skills)? Nope. But I still believe I can manage.
I’m having difficulty with the forums while using my laptop and phone. It says I’m logged in, but I cannot see or post to the forums. There is a note at the top of the screen which reads “You must be a member…” (even though I am logged in). Shrug.

Just returned from the 49er Rally which we rode several legs I was considering so as to finalize the route during the two free days up there. It will be generally be the draft routes posted above for mileage. Need some tweeks to pick up a road closure adjustment on hwy 49 that we learned about as well as a couple of break points. Anticipate having it route finalized by this weekend, still three weeks out to the ride.
Sorry you are not able to make the ride Bikram, I replaced my tires last week for similar reasons. Why not just ride those 1k miles over the next three and a half weeks before the ride, get new tires, and have fun on the ride.
Going to have the opportunity for more curves than one could want. Hope to break them up by some “relief” riding in between or breaks, but as Sharon and I had our last break with Eric Wolf Monday in Castaic coming home, we were a very happy albeit quite a tired small group!
