I cant do the 23rd.......:frown: I have to go to a friends wedding. However if you make the 30th or the 24th I am sure I could :mrgreen:

I have a nice route planned out around lake Berryessa and through Callistoga mapped out if anyone is interested.

Let's see, for the weekday afternoon/evening rides:
I have the 19th, 22nd, 25th, 27th and the 28th available, after 3. :thumbup:

I don't have any other weekend day available until the 6th/7th of November.
How's that weekend look for everyone?

Hey, who was riding the Blue Strom on HWY50 this morning?

Cool! I figured I would find out who it was on here!
Funny, I thought your bike looked blue.

Ya, I get off work in Rancho around 2:30, so we could head out from the Folsom area then, or ?????

Anyone else for the 19th?

MM, why are you considering selling the Strom? Do you have other bikes?

Another Blue V-Strom on 50

Don't mean to muddy the waters but I also commute along Hwy 50 on a Blue V. Mine has a Black Givi top case. Generally I'm going into work entering by the 65th Street on ramp at about 6:50am and exiting 10th street. On the way home it can be any time between 3:40pm and 4:30pm.

Well, I've been wanting to try out Irish Hill Rd., so tomorrow is as good of a day as any!

From A to B it's a little less then 2 hours, but I wouldn't mind a stop or two for pictures.:mrgreen:

We could meet at 3pm, at the Starbucks off of the Latrobe Exit (HWY50)
START: 4311 Town Center BlvdEl Dorado Hills, CA 95762
Take the 1st left onto Latrobe Rd 16.7 mi
Turn left at CA-16 E 0.3 mi
Take the 1st right onto Carbondale Rd/Carbondale Plymouth Rd (signs for Carbondde Rd) 0.3 mi
Turn right to stay on Carbondale Rd/Carbondale Plymouth Rd 2.2 mi
Turn left at Irish Hill Rd 5.7 mi
Turn right at CA-104 W/Ione Michigan Bar Rd 0.8 mi
Slight right at Ione Michigan Bar Rd/Michigan Bar Rd 3.1 mi
Continue onto Ione Rd 6.0 mi
Turn left at CA-16 W/Jackson Rd 20.3 mi
Turn right at Folsom Blvd
END

But, I'm up for starting a little further east, if we want a slightly longer trip. Maybe Mother Lode Dr, Union Mine Rd to the 49 down to 16 then the Irish Hill route.

I don't know anything about these routes, yet. I'm just having fun with Google Maps right now.:thumbup: Chime in!

Strom Camping

Does anyone know of any good rides that could be turned into a fishing/camping trip? I know there are a ton of places near here.

I would also like to get my bike dirty but don't want to do it alone for fear of the hike back to get help. I would even be up for a group ride when things thaw out to explore.

Wednesday 1-26-11 Ride

If anyone can make it there is a group of retired guys that meet every wednesday at the Waffle Shop, Sunrise and Woodmore Oaks in Citrus Heights for breakfast and a ride. They ride mostly GoldWings, but anyone is welcome. I have been on several rides with them and it is very enjoyable. They ride all backroads to places I have never been to, last week was Auburn, Grass Valley, Nevade City and Lake Wildwood. Rides are mostly all day around 200-300 miles, bring a lunch, and meet us for breakfast.

Here is a link to one of the rides. Check out any of the posts by"PapaKen", he is the leader of the "Old Farts".

Heya Cros! Nice pics on that thread.

Hey, is that the same group that posts on GroupRides1.Net?
There's a group called the Gold Wing Road Riders. I've been meaning to go along on some of their rides. Also the River City Cruisers.

On that note, if anyone does plan to go out on any of those, Inland / Delta / Sierra rides listed at GroupRides1.Net, post it on here for added incentive!

Hopefully I'll catch it, but I've managed to miss a few updates because I don't always login when I visit the site upon email notification. (There may also be other replies, but you will not receive any more notifications until you visit the forum again.) :thumbdown:

Anyway, thanks for the heads up Cros, I see a sick day in my near future. :mrgreen:
