Thanks Pete – much appreciated! 🍑

So for the April dates of 20-23, I found the cheapest hotel through Hotels.com at $88/night for 3 nights, and is 5 miles from the campground at 1 Dairy Rd.

Hey Ron. Do you know what hotel you’ll be staying at?

Hi Joe – I was only going to attend if at least one other was hoteling, so I haven’t done any hotel checking/pricing as yet.  Have you done any?

[Ron Zablocki]

Thanks Ed, for your planning and arrangements as well.  Hopefully we can get this event rescheduled soon!

[Ron Zablocki]

Well folks – as of 11:45am this morning, the Day 2 (Sat) weather has changed for the worse.  See the updated route forecast below.  The weather for Fri and Sun hasn’t changed much.

Okay folks, I have some weather updates as of 9am this morning.  For each of the 3 days I’ve put together charts showing precipitation, temperature and wind speed along each point of the day’s route.

I don’t think it’s as bad as Pete makes it out to be.  But we’re still going to take another look at noon, and see where we are then.

Assuming it stays the same as my charts from 9am this morning, who thinks these conditions are still acceptable for the ride?

Okay folks, as promised I’ve attached the GPX route files for all 3 days, along with PDFs with an overview of the routes.

Note that the Day 3 route ends at the Shell station at the bottom of Ortega Hwy, but obviously folks can break off at any time to head home.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Yeah, the rain forecast is not looking good. It started as light rain on Friday to rain all 3 days right now.

We may have to postpone this ride if the conditions don’t change. I’ll make a judgement call on Wednesday and keep checking the conditions up to then.

[Ron Zablocki]

Is anyone attending this and getting a hotel vs camping?

Is this the campground address, or where the campground is located?

[Ron Zablocki]

A nearby address would help immensely.

[Ron Zablocki]

John – Is there an address for the campground so I can look for hotels around there?  Maps couldn’t find me anything for “El Chorro County Park”.

it looks like I will be “Oh for two” for 2023 as far as General Meetings go which is contrary of one of my New Year’s goal. Oh well.

You missed out on a great ride to the Rock Inn this past Saturday Bill!

[Ron Zablocki]

The Feb 4th General Meeting is now up on the Calendar.

[Ron Zablocki]

I’ll be putting it up in the next couple days Bill. 😉

Nice job on the routes and location Ron !! This is the seventh year we visited The Rock Inn in January.

Yes, it was very helpful communicating with Heidi at the Rock Inn, and letting her know our approximate arrival time and number of attendees.  They did a great job!
