For those who are attending this ride; we meet at the lodge at 9:30 and leave at 10am SHARP! No scooter time take off.
We have a 2-3 hour ride to SJB then you will have 1 HOUR to soak in the sights and smells of the historic Adobe Mission and Old Town. The cost for entrance to the inside of Mission is $4.
We will have one several stops:
1st is the top of Hecker Pass to absorb the views of the Monterey Bay.
2nd is a gas stop if you should choose.
3rd is the Old Fire House Market for some tri tip sandwiches and cold drinks. You are responsible for purchace your own lunch. They also have chicken and pork. The cost is $5.99 each.
If we can get a count ahead of time then we can pre-order to make this stop less painful.
Then off to SJB!
We will backtrack some of the route. But goal is to return the more direct route. The speed will range from 35-55mph. This is ok for all scoots 125cc+
This will not be a race but rather a time to enjoy the sublime beauty of the Californian back-roads. You'll experience several dfferent micro climates, view miles of agricultural areas that bring the salad and fruits to the supermarkets around the world. You'll smell the freshly pick strawberries, Garlic patches, and feel the cool crispness of the redwood forests.

We will have many VCLG and the Quitters members leading the ride, sweeping the rear and controlling traffic as much as possible along with a support truck. We will not leave ANYONE behind!
