Thank you Ron, see you on the ride.
I didn’t know that either, thank you Bill and I will take a look at it. Oh, BTW I was using Basecamp for my routes, will it import to Mytoureapp and shows the features or vise versa?
Hello South Coasters
Thank you for coming and did the Morro Bay ride, good weather for 3 days, good camaraderie, and a lot of laughs. Hope to see everyone on the next ride, till then be safe and stay healthy.
Thank you
Henry, you can stop by and have dinner there if you wanted, first night is kind of limbo no restaurants can accommodate our large group and they are not cooperative when I called.

Ron Z. monitored the road situation and pointed out Nacimiento Ferguson road is closed till further notice due to land slide, Ron Z., Steve Leo and I have been brainstorm for new route for Saturday and we came up with alternative route for all of us to enjoy, please the see the attachment of GPX file.
Would like to remind you all to return the lunch order’s form early so we can pre order your lunch and have your lunch ready at time of arrival, please do forward or reply to Steve Leo at [email protected]. Hope to see you all this Friday and looking forward to this ride.

Hello South Coasters
Please read the calendar as it has updated, some of the information I had I could not fixed so I will list few changes here for you
Friday night dinner, we have to split the group into 2 and or you pick your place
Saturday breakfast I considered The Hungry Fisherman since it is on the out to the freeway, lunch is Subway in Fort Hunter Liggett and Dinner is Tacos Temple since is on the way back.
Sunday breakfast, let’s do Top Dog Caffe, it is on the way out to and lunch still Jim & Rob’s Grill in Ojai
See everyone next Friday.
Thank you
Thank you Ed, I just try to do the best for every one
Hello every one
First, the Morro Bay’s Ride still on and I wanted to clarify few things. According to GPX file the starting point is at Irv Seaver and I use this as reference, but actual starting point is at Spaghettini at Seal Beach Blvd and Frwy 405. Kick stand up at 08:00AM, since it is Friday traffic will be heavy and ETA time to second location: Chevron Gas Station in Old Agoura, 5221 Palo Comado Canyon Rd, Old Agoura, CA 91301 and plan on leaving there between 09:30–09:45AM. With the two locations are available you can meet up at which location is convenience for you and the mileage credit will be the same as you started from Irv Seaver.
Now for the UPDATE
According to my planning we should have lunch at ColdSpring Tavern, I called to confirm the accommodation and due to situation we are in, not too many places will allow dine in and if they do with outdoor seating, capacity is limited. With this restriction it really makes the breakfast, lunch and dinner location difficult to find. Also Coldspring Tavern does not open till 11:30AM, this is not the issue but the manager there says base on our arrival time it could be difficult to find seats. With this in mind, I called different locations and set up options if these places can not accommodate our group and the revision is:
Friday November 13, 2020
Lunch: ColdSpring Tavern (possible) and back up option is Panino in Santa Ynez, I called and they accompany up to 35 people but need to call ahead for the kitchen to get ready
Dinner: Libertine Pub, First Come First Serve, no reservation due to pandemic. so I suggest we head over to the restaurant around 05:00PM to grap some table and seat or Rosie’s Bar & Grill as back up option. Again I called and 27 person is max and First Come First Serve
Saturday November 14, 2020
Breakfast: The Hungry Fisherman, it does not open till 08:00AM and this will push the departure time back which I do not mind, I called and it also needs to know in advance so the staffs can get the kitchen ready, or Top Dog Coffee & Bar as another option, it opens at 07:30AM and Patrick also needs to know in advance so he can reserve us the garden
Lunch: To be determine as we ride and find places that accommodate our group
Dinner: Dutchman Seafood House can not accommodate our group, their dining area in and out are 16 people max and First Come First Serve, I also called around and one place kept selling me the whole floor with prix fix menu or go to San Francisco for dinner and you know it will be on Google and Yelp review. The back up options are: if we are coming back early from Ragged Point we can stop by Taco Temple and give it a try, I have not call them to see how many they can accommodate or we all can give The Hungry Fisherman a chance for dinner
Sunday November 15, 2020
Breakfast: As I planned and hope the ease of restriction and most of you already know Frankie & Lola or La Parisienne both have small dining area. So, may I suggest we go back to Top Dog Coffee & Bar for our breakfast or you may choose your own.
Lunch: Jim’s & Rob also limited seating and First Come First Serve and the manager indicated the arrival time is very busy for them. I called Café Emporium and dealt with them for two days, Kelly Spencer was very nice and she offered the loft for our group with conditions: I have to let her know in advance so kitchen can get ready for us with some other options, Pay together in one bill with gratuity included so we can get special menu and discount or get individual bill, order off the regular menu and no discount, one request she had for us is gratuity, they will accept cash or put on card is fine but for paying for the meal she asked you to use your credit card, please bring your credit.
It is difficult to plan and accommodate a large group of friends, riders in this pandemic, I hope you all understand and I will listen to your suggestions and input other wise I will see you in November.
Wow! I have heard the same thing from different member and have you try the options I mentioned? just hoping.

Hello South Coasters
Waking up this morning and watched the news with additional restriction in place I regret to inform you, the First Spring Ride is cancelled. Hopefully I can set up another ride after this pandemic event.
Thank you
Hello everyone, don’t let the COVID-19 scares you, all we will do is meet up and ride, make sure you wash your hands and don’t touch your face. I am sure most of the restaurants are closed so bring your own snacks and drinks, places we are going are in the boonies so no COVID-19. See y’all at the rendezvous point, ride safe and have fun.
Tony
