Thanks for organizing a great ride, Karl. It’s good to be back among the living :); over my cold.
Anza hotel group,
If you are willing to share a room with someone, please post that here. I know of one rider who is looking for someone to room with. Thanks
Anza Riders,
Thanks for the quick response to my email on who’s hoteling and who is camping. That helps me keep track of the available 16 camping spots.
I’m happy to say that we still have plenty of space! In fact, I can accommodate another 10 campers. If you are new to moto camping or want to get your feet wet, come on out. Or give me a call and I’ll talk you into it! There is tons of experience in the club and you’ll have plenty of help; and a great time.
Sounds fun Pete. Unfortunately, I’ll be out of town with family though. HAPPY NEW YEAR, early!
I did the same thing as Ed when I added an all-in-one license plate frame with added lights: brake light, turn signals, running light, and license plate light. I spliced them directly into the existing rear end lights. On the GS the wires are easily accessible under the rear seat.
This is always a great way to start the year. Good roads, good food, and fun people. I’m looking forward to it. Thanks Ron!
Thanks for setting this up Steve! It will be great fun to share a meal together, tell tall tales, and laugh a lot.
So much fun!! Great ride, yummy food, and super friends. Thanks South Coasters for a memorable day.
Sergio, you set a really high bar. Great job!
I pre-rode the route today… tough job. 🙂 The temps tomorrow will be beautiful; in the mid 70’s. The entire trip from Irv’s to the Mt Baldy Lodge is only 65 miles so no gas stop is planned. Show up tomorrow with a full tank please.
I don’t think there is a Perfect Road. There is always something missing or some piece of the road that is marred somehow. As far as a Best Road, the same applies. There are certainly Better Roads and Worse Roads.
I have to say though that I do have Favorite Road(s), in categories. I just can’t narrow it down to a single favorite road. Rather, I have a beautiful scenery favorite, a sweepers favorite, and a country road favorite.
For example, for pure all out zooming along flawless tarmac, with strong ascents and giant sweepers, I’d say that Highway 33, going north out of Ojai is my favorite because it just goes on and on, miles and miles of good hard riding. I usually hit this midweek and have the road to myself. Starting on the lower portion at the beginning, you get a series of tighter S’s and two tunnels as you pass through Wheeler Gorge. Then the long climb to the top followed some sharp turns on a quick and short decent. For me, this road has it all and tops my Sweepers Favorite category.
