If I could recon some place to lay my head.....
and a ticket..........
I'd join ya......... [bang]
I wanna go
If anyone needs a place, I have a few leads...
1 home, sleeps 7-12 - $500/night + 12% tax, + $200 cleaning fee, 3 night minimum, must be out by Sunday 10am - it's about 3 miles from Cannery Row - have it reserved for another day or 2
Me & 3-4 buddies will be riding down from SF, I have 2 rooms at a hotel, but have been looking for larger, more economical accomodations... not sure which way we'll go as far as hotel vs. home yet.
PM me if interested...
that 10am sunday thing is a killer for those riding up and back.
the last thing i want to do after spending all day at the races on sunday is start an 8 hour ride down the twisty coast.
yep, for me as well - I may have another potential place today - I'll post up if it's better...

I'm riding up Thursday, maybe Friday. Headed back on Monday. Staying in Carmel. Not sure if I'll start w/ the 33 or drone up I-5 to Frazier Park to Lockwood Vally... the 58, etc either bailing to the Coast at Cambria or staying inland and crossing over at Hunter Liggett. ( I love that road!)

Revised route is the word....stay tuned.
Big Sur due to be closed .....
>:(
A little news from up here on the Central Coast, HWY 1 is closed for 39 mi. starting in Lucia with a heat wave on the way. Hopefully things settle down for the GP. Come and see us at turn 6, site 120. [beer]
This is lame, because the ride up and back are one of my riding highlights of the year. But, due to the fires, I think I'm gonna cage up.
I bummed... but still going.
George
no possibility of an alternate route?
I bet roads will reopen over the next 10 days. Unless, of course, this next heat wave wreaks havoc on the central valley. There's always the 101...zzzz.

BTW - I have a camping pass in turn 5 available that I'm helping a friend sell. He paid $500. One of our board members has already expressed interest, but you never know - people are flakey.
So, here's the deal:
For sale is the Turn 5 camping pass and support vehicle hang tag - space 241. It's HUGE! Great view of T5 exit and T6 entrance - see the attached map. posted price on the pass is $275, but they sold out immediately, hence why he paid so much. Let's make a deal.

Ok... Me and dad are leaving as soon as we can after work on Friday (3-5pm) and riding to Kettleman City (off the 5) to get some of the ride (read: slab) out of the way before heading to the track Sat morning. I doubt we'll see anyone on the way up...
Are there any "meet-ups" at the track?
Is there a specific departure time/place for the ride back on Monday morning?
If we're just "playing it by ear" then maybe I could get a cell phone number from somebody so's we don't end up missing the gang... [thumbsup]
Really looking forward to the ride back! [moto]
John
can I talk somebody into pick'n me up a Ducati Island Lanyard and a Motogp Laguna Seca t-shirt?
I can pick them up and repay ya at an IBN
BP, any takers yet? I'll be packin up the bike tonight, and providing I have some room, I'd be happy to pick up your souvenirs.

I wussed and for the first time in 10-12 yrs, I drove up the 5 in a cage. Got off at Coalinga and cut across to San Lucas/101 via 33 and 198 (good scenic route!) From there, we took the 101 to 68 and in to Carmel. We stayed at a great B&B, the Briarwood Inn, for the third year in a row. Friday dinner at Forge in The Forest, Saturday dinner at Tarpley's with the Dunlop crowd, and Sunday dinner at Casanova's (which I highly recommend!)
A buddy carted my HM up in his truck so we could take the bike to the track. A little chilly riding to and from the track for us SoCal wimps. Despite the morning/evening chill and fog, the weather was great at the track. Crowds and parking were manageable. Didn't spend any time in the vendor/midway/Ducati Island areas. Mostly stayed in the paddock with Turn 4 Suite and Pit Row Suite credentials. Never made it to Monterey/Cannery Row. Just had a mellow weekend, mostly in Carmel.
Drove home on 1 (very few bikes on the road from 10am-4pm, didn't see a single CHP on the return.), stopped in Ragged Point for coffees, then on to the seal beach for photos... home by 4pm to watch the TiVo recording of the race.
Good times, I think I may go back for the Sept AMA races.
Only person from SoCal I saw was Derby, wandering through the paddock.
George
