It's time to head down to my neck of the woods :icon_mrgreen:

This coming Sunday (June 8th)

Get together at my house in Salinas. Then head over Laureles grade to Carmel Valley.
We could go down Carmel Valley Rd or head to Carmel and down to Big Sur :thumb:

Directions are simple.
101 south to Salinas. Go past Northridge mall on left and new automall on right.
Take Laurel Dr exit,( turn right at stop sign.)
Left on Davis Rd. (1st light after exit)
Left on Larkin St. (2nd light after turn on Davis)
Left on Kearny (4th st on left)
Left on Alvarado Dr. (761 Alvarado Dr. Salinas CA. 93907)
Black box trailer in driveway on right (corner house)

Meet around 10:00ish :icon_mrgreen:
My cell # is 831-596-3111 if there is a problem.

If that date doesn't work, we could do it on another Sunday :dunno_white:
The 15th is fathersday, so I'm sure that will be an issue for some.

This for ALL riders. ANY SKILL LEVEL!!!
GREAT ROADS, WITH MUCH LESS HAZARDS THAN SKYLINE AREA.(ie bicycles and cops :flipoff:)

Could I put in a vote for Sunday, 22 June?

I'd love to do a ride back home, and with Bob no less! :thumb:

I have no problem with the 22nd :thumb:

Sweet! The 22nd would work better for me too!  :thumb:
The motorcycle is no longer the hobby, the skill has become the hobby.

Power does not compare to skill.  What good is power without the skill to use it?

Sorry...been busy riding..haven't checked in here for a few days...  :flipoff:

My bike is gonna be prep'd for the track on Sunday the 22nd  :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

If it turns out that it won't be prep'd 'til the 23rd, then I'd be in. :( I'll find out as soon as I can!  :icon_mrgreen:

Went down to Big Sur today. Weather was fair. It's always cool along the coast and nice in Big Sur since it's inland enough. Gets windy heading back north though.

I think we'll do the Carmel Valley route on our ride on the 22nd :thumb:

We need more people to show up.
I know you're out there.
Don't be intimidated ;)
This is a fun ride for ANY level rider :cheers:

pronator

I'm there for the 22nd! Woot!  :thumb:

Now, will you be serving breakfast or will we be riding first and eating later? :icon_mrgreen:

Bob Broussard

We can ride into The Village in Carmel valley and get breakfast at the Running Iron :cheers: :thumb:

I'll likely make a small detour to Salinas on my way to the ride, cuz one of the members of another moto forum has offered to trim my front fender down so that it'll pass spec at the track. Damn...Salinas and Monterey... I love living in Cali!  :icon_mrgreen:

Woo hoo, indeed! :icon_mrgreen: :thumb:

Pandy, are you riding down in the morning? I haven''t decided whether to ride down in the morning or go the night before. My sister lives in Salinas but the thought of being crammed in her studio the night before a ride - or ever! - does not appeal.

But neither does the thought of leaving from here at 8am-ish. I am not a morning person. :icon_twisted:

pandy

I'm going to ride down that morning. I also will be making a pit stop in Salinas so that my front fender can be fixed.  :icon_mrgreen:

I'm probably going to be leaving at around.....7-7:30ish or so?  :o :laugh:

Okay, then I'll meet you at Bob's at 10am! Have fun getting your fender fixed! :thumb:
