Booked my Yosemite Reservation this evening…only 359 left. Only $2.00 and simple to book at http://www.recreation.gov.
John,
the Calendar shows the Joshua Tree NP ride on Saturday, February 26 – you said February 27 above. Can you please clarify?
Warren,
I was on Mulholland Hwy and some of the other roads in the Malibu Mountains yesterday and they were in pretty bad shape. Mulholland Hwy had some slides and lots of rocks on the road from the rain last week and they are still cleaning up the mess. I live in the area and will head up there next weekend and check the roads and let you know what condition they are in and which roads are clear.
Agree with Pete – a dusting of snow today but warming up all week in Mammoth to a high of 63 on Saturday. Bishop shows a high Friday of 71, Saturday of 77 and Sunday 76. Should be a beautiful weekend for riding. No precipitation anywhere in the area after today.
Brandon, do you have your route and stops for the Sunday ride home available?
Another recommendation for dinner on Saturday if you have not already made plans is Whiskey Creek. We eat there all the time on our way home from our Mammoth ski trips and the food is excellent. It is only 2 blocks from the Creekside Inn.
Hi Ron,
Thanks for everything. Jan and I are looking forward to a great weekend. You mentioned to let you know if we have any ideas for Saturday. I think going up over Tioga Pass and into the park would be great. Bill Reitz mentioned on Facebook that appointments are not needed after October 1. It is only 1.5 hours from Bishop to Tuolumne Meadows and it could be beautiful. Can still do Lundy, etc. Remind everyone to bring their National Park passes if you decide to do this.
Whatever the route it is going to be beautiful and fun.
Thought I was the only cheapskate in the group – not!!!! Actually there are 4 of us cheapskates staying at the Red Roof Inn. Special Discount Price on Expedia $223.66 for 2 nights. It is 1/10th of a mile from the Creekside Inn. A 2 minute walk according to Google Maps.
The following is a list of those signed up for camping.

David Eastly
Erasmo Brenes

Nicholas OkoneskiWe have 3 campsites and currently have 9 tents signed up. If anyone else wants to camp we need to know right away as we would have to reserve an additional campsite.
Based on the numbers above the current cost for camping is $35.00 per person for the weekend (2 nights). The sites have been prepaid.
It is going to be a hot ride up and back. Amazon Prime has some pretty good cooling vests for around $29.00 free one day shipping. Jan and I have had these for quite a few years and they work really well. Put it in a water proof bag with cold water and ice in your top box. When it gets hot just wring it out a little and put it on. Suggest you wear a 100% polyester tee shirt under it. If you stop and take the vest off this type of tee will dry almost immediately. It also breathes better than a cotton tee. I used it last year on this ride in 110 degrees in Mojave and it really saved me.

Howard BlandI have reserved 3 campsites at Lemon Cove RV and Campground. With the current count of people the cost per person for the two night stay is $37.00. If we get more campers the price will come down as we can fit a couple more tents on the sites. These are the closest sites to the pool and bathrooms/showers. There is electricity and running water at each site so you will be able to charge your cellphones and Senas. I will bring a short extension cord with numerous outlets so we can charge a bunch at the same time.The store at the campground does not sell beer/alcohol so you might want to stop at the store in Lemon Cove and do a little shopping when you get there.
We have made camping reservations at the Lemon Cove Village RV Park Campground for Friday and Saturday nights.
We currently have 2 campsites but can reserve more depending on how many campers we have.Currently camping:
David Eastly
Henry Solari
Harry Hoffman

Steve LeoWe stayed here last year. They have a swimming pool right by our campsites which they keep nice and cool. They also have a convenience store and showers nearby.
Please let me know if you want to camp by calling or texting 562-547-9092.

Ed,
Hwy 95 / Hudson Ranch Road thru Pine Mountain Club out to the 166 is a great road. Great sweepers and great scenery!!!
Jan Leo and Sharon Wagner will be riding their own bikes and I believe Elaine Wassenaar will be 2-up with Danny.
Looks like we might have to take all the ladies dancing at the Maverick Saloon one night for a little 2 stepping and line dancing.
John,
Are you going to have a secondary meet-up location for those of us up in LA and Ventura Counties? Any route info yet?
Both my wife and I just got our seats done by Legendary in Ventura. We are both really happy with the seats. What makes them so great is that if there are any problems or places on the seat that bother you, you can go back and have them adjust the seat for you. The first go at my seat was not very good but it really works well now. They ended up rebuilding the whole seat for me.
