Duck-Stew

Ok, the official *rough* time-frame (because we may deviate from it some not on purpose, but just 'cuz sh*t happens) will be posted up this weekend.

River and I will do the final rides and time them this time to get distances, plan out gas stops, and estimate times.  We've got it 80% figured out, just need to ice that cake.

Oh, and grandpa nate?!?  You may not be the oldest dude at DIMBY...  My friend Jim is going to show and he's 70.  He's also tenatively scheduled to bring his RC30 btw...

Oh brother.   [roll]  See TiAvenger's comment above... ;D

Hi guys!  As DS mentioned, he and I will actually ride the ride this weekend and get all the details sorted so that we have approximate times, distances, directions, waypoints, etc.  Those of you that are waiting for more detailed info will not have to wait much longer.  One of us will post by Monday night.

I am really excited and looking forward to seeing you all here!  Just to recap, for those of you coming:
Pizza and beer on Friday night
Breakfast at my place Saturday morning  [bacon]  [coffee]  [bacon] that will include a ride briefing
Big ride on Saturday, including a private viewing of Guy Webster's motorcycle "museum" in Ojai (thanks to you, Duck-Stew  [thumbsup])
Quick lunch in the Ojai area (probably at Jersey Mike's or the like)
Relax and BBQ Saturday afternoon/evening
BACON OLYMPICS
Live music Saturday evening--come on, who doesn't love live music?
Camping, hanging out, telling stories and lies, and hopefully not destroying my house... :o
Optional ride up ACH (Angeles Crest Hwy) Sunday morning, breakfast and happy farewells

A FEW IMPORTANT THINGS:
1. I'm asking for donations upon arrival to cover expenses (everything from food and booze to bands and possibly bribes for cops (and two of my neighbors are feds so please keep that in mind)...)
2. We'll order lunch on Saturday ahead of time and the approximate cost per head will be $10, so please have cash handy for that.
3. Bacon Olympics: Dude, sign up for this, because I'm looking forward to it for sheer entertainment value!   [laugh]
4. Sunday morning everyone is on their own for breakfast, but we'll be riding out earlier to a place where breakfast is readily available.  Though, as a coffee drinker, I wouldn't be so cruel as to deny you your morning wake up juice at my house prior to departure.  The rules of hospitality dictate such... ;D

I think that's it for the moment.  PM me or Duck-Stew if you have any questions or comments.  One of us will post again around Monday (April 20) regarding the route.  Looking forward to seeing you all here!!!

Ah, what the hell. It IS in my backyard. Sign me up. Decided as I was riding past River's place last night on my way home. ;D

That is, if you don't mind having a newb tag along. But I'm sure there's a lot more I could learn from this, so school can take the back burner (I guess I'll sort of be at college anyway, right?) [laugh]
