Lobusa told me not to worry...that she will coordinate a nice agenda for people to participate at will. She has done just that. Well here it is!
Hey Guys,
I am still taking off the whole week and will be staying in Salinas on tuesday/wednesday nites, then on to Monterey from thursday on. It seems as though most of the folks will be coming in on thursday. For those who are there earlier, we will probably do an early morning ride on thursday and come back early afternoon and meet up with everyone showing up throughout the afternoon. Once everyone has arrived, we can all ride into Monterey and check things out, get some food and get to know one another. I was thinking Bubba Gumps is a cool meeting spot.
Friday morning, for all of those interested and not going to the races on that day, we will be getting up early and going for an ALL DAY ride.... I have had many requests to see San Francisco, Golden Gate, Chinatown, Pier 39 etc...... We are going to leave early and head up to San Fran, see the sites, stop and eat (based on general concensus of what everyone wants), then on to more riding. The second half of our days riding will be up into the mountains to the local "biker spot" and hittin the twisties and down towards the coast. Then on to Santa Cruz to rest and hang out and get some good photo ops before we head onward back into Monterey. Those who choose to do dinner together, we can pick a spot after everyone has an opportunity to clean up (and rest) and hook
up later and party together that evening. Friday is going to be a LONG DAY. Monterey is over an hour and half away from San Francisco, and we will be doing alot of riding that day to see all that everyone wants to see.
Earlier in the week, the folks arriving tues. wed, we will be riding as much of the Bay Area as we can fit in. Since that will be a smaller group, that agenda is going to be based on what the group wants to do.
On Saturday, we can get up (whatever time everyone likes, it's just a short ride away) and head over to Laguna Seca raceway and watch the races. I usually bring a small blanket in a backpack to sit on at the races. I also wear shorts under my jeans so I can take them off. There is a coat check where you can put your helmet/pants/backpack/jacket in a secure area until you are ready to leave. Hopefully by this time, everyone will have either two-ways or eachothers cells phones #'s so we can hook up at the races throughout the day. I plan on leaving early from the races on saturday and hanging out on Cannery Row. (around 1:00PM) This is a very exciting time to see ALL THE BIKES!! People get out there early and find a parking spot on Cannery Row near Bubba Gumps. There will be tons of bikes/clubs riding down Cannery Row for us to check out. You can walk up and down the street and check em all out and meet tons of folks. That evening, if the group wants to eat together again, I will have suggestions as to where we can go and for those who choose to do so, we can hook up again. Saturday night the clubs in the areas are all jumping, and I personally plan on shakin' my a$$ a little bit...
My bike club (NO LIMIT) will be in town Saturday and I will probably hook up with them to post up on Cannery Row. But I will always be available for you guys and you are welcome to hang out with us on the Row if you like.
On Sunday, it's kinda the same as Saturday for those going to the races. Get up at your leisure to ride over to Laguna and watch the races. For those who wish to ride over together, we can always plan a time/place to meet before we head over there. Since most of you will be in Salinas, maybe we can set it up to meet at one of the other members rooms in Monterey and then head in from there. Or meet and have breakfast in Monterey and go from there as well. Most things will be based on group concensus.
If you have any requests, or feel as though I have missed anything please let me know. I do have 2 friends from my club who will ride with the group on Friday to help me keep everyone together. But for the most part, we will need to police ourselves and maintain good group riding practices, patience, and common sense!!! There could be as many as 35 of us riding together!
I will wait to hear from anyone/everyone and appreciate any positive input here.
Can't wait to see/meet/ride with you all!!!
