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.
There is still time to meet us at Mt. Top Cafe John. KSU at 10:00 am at that location. Glad to hear that Beth can make. Vern and Robin will be at Mt.Top Cafe as well. Either way see you guys tomorrow.
I will be at the Panera bread on Jamboree at at the corner of Irvine Blvd. In the same shopping center as Ralph’s. Met you there once. I’ll be there about 7:oo am. Leaving at 8:00 am. Too bad you can’t make this ride Bikram.
Sounds good Roberto and Vern. Hopefully won’t need the snow tires this time around Vern! See you on Friday.
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.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!!I published this several weeks ago. Here was Steve’s reply to that very question John.
Bikes I’ve owned: Dirt DRZ400 then KTM450. Street “1999” BMW LT (beast), “2004” BMW 1150, Currently “2005” 1200RT
Ø Memorable rides: I like distance riding. My parents used to live in Sedona and I would ride out there frequently to see them. I once was with friends up in Mammoth with my DRZ Dirt Bike. I got bored with dirt and took off up 395 for a day ride and ended up in Lake Tahoe for a late lunch and a cold ride home. But a great ride!
Ø I am a solo rider with a great wife who is very willing to meet me in a resort and at group gatherings (not willing to sit on the back of a bike for hours)
Ø Life is an adventure. I surf, sail, scuba dive, mountain climb, Snow Ski ,and used to bicycle race.
We have added on additional member since our last meeting. His name is Steve Hughson and I have already delivered his name tag to him. Should be at the next General Meeting. I did not reserve the HK backroom for next week so there is nothing that needs to be cancelled. I was having some issues in being notified from the website when an inquiry comes into “membership”. I think I have that resolved (with some help from Rick C). I will also post an update on the Kernville Ride (with maps) in the next week or so. Have the route up and 2nd day ride complete. Working on the return route now. Hope this helps.
Let me know if you plan/settle on having it at Hells Kitchen. I will be up there on Sunday and will have Melissa reserve the back room for you guys.
Just taking a couple of days off and running up through that area. Couldn’t make this weekend’s ride so thought I would do some exploring. Not a club event so not on calendar.
I won’t be able to make this board meeting. Will be on a Fort Bragg ride that weekend. I will forward the ride info for the Kernville ride (Oct. 14th, 15th, & 16th) for the board meeting and to be shared at the general meeting that looks to be scheduled for later that same morning.
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.
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.
Will miss you two Karl!! Right reason! There will be other rides. There won’t be another Sharon!!
I did Bill. Trail of the 100 Giants as well. Came back on 178 along the Kern River. So many roads so little time!
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.
