Too many choices, so many roads.  Keep up the dialogue, and let's nail something down.  Frank, I'm up for my old stomping grounds, and your backyard...Hwy 9 and the Santa Cruz Mountains. Hell, let's plan two rides.

I'm going to 'Bump' this thread in an attempt to get the conversation started back up.  I wasn't able to make the last rally, but am starting to look towards next summer's adventures, and am hoping my scheduling at least works out this time.

I am planning to attend, however, that is about the time when I will be out of a job. I might have more free time to make the ride to and from the rally more of an adventure. I will bring Cap'tRon along so he can document the entire trip and show me where all the goods wines are found along the way.
The glass is not half full, it was engineered with a 2X safety factor.

I like Klavdy's idea of Shaver Lake but I'm not sure if there will be enough room with 8 cabins and 4 hotel rooms.

I'm in regardless of location.

Looks like a nice area but what are the temps up there in the spring ?

I'd like to toss out another idea for general location...  how about we go just a bit south like Solvang and ride some of the beautiful central coast and inland roads in that area?  Great locale that splits travel between our SoCal and NorCal folks more evenly.  If that sounds interesting, I'll look into places to stay.

Solvang is like leaving California and waking up in a little Dutch town, complete with old Holland windmills.  :good2:

Yep, it's a cool place.  Or how about San Luis Obispo area (Tim...?).  Avila KOA is good, but there's a place called Avila Hot Springs that has cabins through tent camping and might be a good location.
