SCBMWRC Merchandise Order Update:
As we extended the buy period for the SCBMWRC merchandise to the middle of November, the merchandise is still in process…that means it is at the embroiderer/screen printers being decorated. With the Holiday rush and Thanksgiving closures the merchandise is taking a little long than we hoped. It looks like we will have the merchandise completed and shipped by December 15.
I will update here as soon as I have more information.

If you are interested in the Sena line and are a First Responder or Military (retired too) they give a nice discount. You have to buy directly from Sena and not a dealer. Their service is pretty good and you can get the item quickly as they are located in Irvine. You might even be able to pick it up. They are right by the Five Points Theater. 888-333-7362.

We have dinner reservations at That’s Italian for Saturday night at 7:00pm. Good news for breakfast…the Cracked Egg has moved and is now part of That’s Italian so there will be plenty of space for breakfasts. We also have Cheryl’s next door to the Kernville Inn for breakfasts.
We are waiting on setting the routes until we see what the snow situation is on Sherman Pass closer to the ride. We will probably send out the routes a week before the ride.
