How many think ocean view rides are critical for WCR...  we've skipped before, but some haven't shown up.  Is riding along the coast critical for some?  Any other critical criteria?

Frank

I'd just like to respond by saying, as a flat-lander making the long trip west, I do appreciate the ocean/coast riding and the view.
This would not be a deal breaker, but it does add a lot to the over all trip, for people like me that never have the chance to experience the coast on a regular basis.

Kurt, no decision has been made. All location options are still in play.

Hayfork or the area near there is where I'd like to see another rally. The mountain roads in that area are amazing!

My thought, three of the last four WCR have been at Willits or Petaluma. Some place other than this area would be a nice change.

I would love to do some riding in the Hayfork area.
It's not as close to the coast as Willits is, but there certainly could be some coastal riding involved from Hayfork.
Would love to see it in Northern CA, but wherever it is held, I'll show up!  :good2:

Having never rode any of California before, anywhere the rally is held will be new to me.  Northern California is more convenient, as it is closer.  However, I'm up for anywhere there are good twisty roads.  :good2:

Hwy 36 and Hayfork are pretty special.
Great area.
It's a long haul back to L.A.

Never regret your choices in life ! There is no way to go back to do it again and compare. Make the most and do your best with every decision you make

racerrad8

It looks like we have platuead at 47.

For those in attendance at the 2016 WCR who were going to be researching possible locations, I would like to get them out by the end of this month.

Please post up why you recommend your choice of location. Sell it to the group. Once that happens we will have the decision to make to finalize the 2017 WCR.

Let's get those recommendations done by the end of the month.

If anyone else has an inclination of attending the 2107 rally, please add your name to the list.
