Ok, looks like the majority that responded are in for Nov. 1/2 so now that's the official dates.

Here's most of the details:

Official Hotel for Saturday night is the Comfort Inn: http://www.sequoiahotel.com/

Official Restaurant for Saturday night eats is Serrano's Mexican Restuarant.
http://gts-rider.info/serranos.jpg

It's across the street and a block up from the hotel. Settle in, put on comfortable
clothes and walk to dinner. I'll be giving them the heads up advance notice
on the numbers as the date gets closer.

Details for Socal Saturday Ride Up:

Meet at 14/Sand Canyon Denny's for breakfast at 7:30 am. Kickstands up at 8:30.

The big building square in the middle of this shot is where the dennys is: http://tinyurl.com/3mjbl5


Here's the Saturday route from Denny's to 3 Rivers: http://tinyurl.com/5dhjk7

If the weather cooperates and we get to run the big group ride on Sunday here's what's the plan. A/B/C is the group part. C is the lunch stop. NorCal riders can escape North after lunch on Dunlap Rd., it doesn't suck, unless you're opposed to 100 turns in a few miles of road...

Here's last year's thread:

Geez, don't all reply at once, it makes the thread sooo confusing.
I know some of you are likely mulling it over. I'm working the LABiker crowd for this one on the SoCal end. I seem to remember SoCal beat NorCal for attendance last year.

Here's a couple of quotes and a pic from last year that might spur you into the commitment range...

"I'm planning a ride and you're a pussy asshat if you don't come!  And if you say you're going to be there and you flake, I'll pipe bomb your house."  Ed/Goldylocks

"Anyways, this is a posted ride, and thus a good excuse to 'plan' for some 'actual' sport-touring. End of the season for the destination. What more do you need? Come on you lurkers, suck it up and ride!" Me/GTS_Rider

Come on NorCal, you know you want to. Favorite NorCal rider's pic from last year:

Yes, but you need to ride to experience the seasons. My spring ride took me from 100+ degrees in L.A. and Central Valley to getting snowed on in Walker on 395 and going over Monitor Pass. All in the space of a week. Also, the first time in something like 15 years it rained in Porterville on Memorial Day Weekend.
Riding is like a box of chocolates...yeah, you know the rest...

Who's interested? How about Nov. 1st/2nd ?

 




 I could be in for this if the bike holds up. I'm currently scheduled to be kidless that weekend.

 I was just informed that my kid has football every Sat. from now until mid November. I would probably ride up with the SoCal crew, bug out into Visalia for the game, then rejoin at Three Rivers for the evening's festivities, and the Sunday ride.

 Now all I gotta do is get my tank fixed before then. It's leaking again. My soldering job didn't hold. Rolleyes

 Time to bust out with the sheet metal, and the MIG. firedevil Screw the paint. I'll ride it primered if I have to.

Decent rain gear will work better but won't look as cool.  Lol
