Is anyone planning on riding out from San Francisco? I'd appreciate some company.

Wednesday Sept 24?
 

Hi,

We are riding down from Oregon on Monday and Tuesday. We'll cross the Golden Gate sometime on Wednesday and camp a Yosemite that night.

If you want to hook-up let me know.

Quick Question - Registration
 

I would not miss the CA HU meeting this year, but I will be coming off 4k mi.of southwest USA tour and I'm not sure of my arrival date, so can I register when I gets to Mariposa? (as opposed to on line?) Thanks!

Passing through
 

Im a really looking forward to the HU meeting.
I am an Aussie traveling the america's. I am currently in Taos New Mexico. Anyone want to meet on their way to Mariposa?
I am going to be helping out Lost for a Reason Lost For A Reason.org - Lost For A Reason.org Helping Children And Families in Need, Fundraising For Playgrounds Work Projects And Services
so I am aiming to arrive on the 24th to help set up.
Apologies if this the wrong place to post this.
See you there!:clap::mchappy:

There may be another couple of Aussies, if all goes to plan.

Looking forward to it. bier

I hope so Rob!

Hey Rob, is that you who we met in Bend yesterday? If it is, I know what bike you meant! Just didn't know it was called like that.... ;-) See you again in a couple... :scooter:

Sync up
 

That's fantastic. I can be ready at a convenient location south of the bridge. Do you imagine you might lunch in SF?

My girl and I are heading out on Thursday from the Santa Cruz area. What route are you thinking of taking?

Hey - thanks for the reply. I haven't planned a route yet. Do you have any ideas?

Leaving from Phoenix, AZ on Sat 9.20 to event
 

Hey guys! I'm on a black BMW R1100GS:thumbup:, and I'll be leaving from Phoenix this Saturday.

Probably stay the first night at the USA Hostel in LA, then ride 1 up the coast. Wing it, explore, just gotta make it to Yosemite by the 25th. I'll be camping all 3 nights at the event, might even stay Wednesday night onsite.

Anyone along that route-ish want to meet up along the way somewhere, let me know! bier Not in a hurry, so I'll most likely take my time. Never been to Cali before, and I'm told the 1 is a beautiful ride. But I also love to ride fast, so any type of rider would be cool to team up with for a stretch :thumbup1:

Rolling down I-40
 

Planning on heading over on Wed morning and stopping in Big Pine (or at least somewhere between Vegas and Big Pine). If you'll be heading through New Mexico around then and want to join up, let me know...

I'll be heading out of Santa Barbara early Wednesday morning. Probably spend Wednesday night at the event unless I stop off in the Sierras south of there. My only plan on getting there is to avoid I-5! Will be on the WR250 so no high speed runs for me.....

Is anyone heading over on Thursday from/through the Sacramento area by car/truck and have space for one other person/want some company. I injured my foot a few weeks back and am unable to ride till October sometime :oops2: This has put a temporary halt to our motorcycle trip to Argentina and we are currently being put up in Dixon about 23 miles West of Sacramento. Matt my other half and the amazing people who have put us up will be riding (me going pillion isn't an option) and I don't really fancy driving up there myself! Let me know if can help I will of course pitch in for gas :)

It's quite a slog from San Francisco but this route should keep you off most of the freeway.
