When, Saturday & Sunday August 27 & 28.
Start time, 2:00 AM (From LA)
Why, to be in Fresno for a 7:00 start time.
Agenda, Ride Kings Cyn area Saturday, Saturday night camp at Dorst Creek, Sunday ride Sequioa and head back to LA.
A little room available for the campground still, or reserve a 4th site.
So anyone care for an over night ride?
Let me know ASAP.

Thanks, Dale

Wow. Are you sure it's your butt that's iron and not your head???

We all have our addictions.

Mine is long days on two wheels. My wife prefers that over bars and partying all night and day, so what's a guy to do? Gotta keep the Mrs. happy right?

She is going on the next one with me. Four days of riding in the Sierras!

Sounds like fun ... I wish I was in CA to experience such a ride.

Grab a set of clothes.
Call the boss.
Point the bike west.
Easy!

I did that in 1975 and I'm still here!

My best friend did it this spring. Rode his Harley out in March (brrrrr) from Cincinnati. Now he owns a '34 Hunter yacht and is docked somewhere North of LA. He has his captains license or whatever it is you need. He just got back from a round trip cruise to Costa Rica (bananas, I'd wager).

It's VERY tempting. They're saying we may be brutalized here in MI this coming winter. I'll keep you abridged if you're gonna' have to be concerned about a red 600 passing you on the twisties!

Be glad to see ya! We may get a bitter cold winter this year too. Could stay in the 50's for as long as a week, but the sky should stay clear!

Grrrr ... I don't even zip up the jacket vents until it gets into the 50's. I hate being geographically challenged.
