John, I hope things are going well. Sorry I can’t be there.
Very happy that you will be riding the passes.
Thanks for the tip. I’ll investigate.
So glad you are joining us, Sergio!
Hi All,
I apologize for introducing confusion to the Sonora stopover. I was just passing alone an option recommended by Rob Tripp. Twain Harte is 12 miles up the road from Sonora and closer to Rob’s house. Nonetheless, I am still staying at the Gunn House in Sonora. Give me a call if you have questions, 949 636-4769.Thanks for the info Karl. I agree, this will be a great trip with lots of new areas to explore.
Thanks for the beta Bill. You will be missed!
Rob, thanks for the offer!
Rob also recommends staying up in Twain Harte. It is 10 degrees cooler up Hwy 108 at 4000 ft. He recommends the Wildwood Inn at Twain Harte, and says there are a few good eateries; a burger joint, Mexican and Steak house, as well as a great breakfast diner.Hi All,
Thanks to Steve Leo for providing this hotel info. He has researched and found the best rates on Expedia. I recommend you make your reservations earliest as rates will go up the closer to summer we get.Thursday night at Kernville Inn – $136.74 all inclusive – 2 beds
Friday night at Gunn House Hotel in Sonora – $133.08 all inclusive – 2 beds
Saturday night at Days Inn South Lake Tahoe $167.91 all inclusive – 2 bedsOne King or one Queen rooms are less money.
UPDATED: The Seven Passes Ride will require staging in Kernville on Thursday night, June 9th. We will spend the next two days riding the passes and end in South Lake Tahoe on Saturday, June 11th. Ride home on Sunday… or, stand by for more planning if you want to go on to the Chief Joseph Rally in Oregon.
Thursday lodging will be at the Kernville Inn or, there are several campgrounds on the river.
Our Friday ride will traverse 1) Sherman and 2) Tiaoga Passes. NOTE: YOU MUST HAVE A $2 DAY-USE ENTRY PASS FOR YOSEMITE IN ADDITION TO YOUR PARK PASS. Get your entry pass here. We’ll end Friday in Sonora. There are several hotels/motels in the city but camping is limited.
On Saturday, we’ll top out 3) Sonora, 4) Monitor, 5) Ebbets, 6) Carson, and 7) Luther Passes before ending the day in South Lake Tahoe. Again, there are numerous lodgings in the city. Camping is limited to the city campground.
More details about group reservations and routes will be posted soon.
