By the way, there is no way in hell that you will be at the base of Ojai by 8:35 if you are to meet up at 8:00 in Ventura.  By the time you wait for all to arrive, gas up and roll out, see you at the Ojai station at 9!


it's a 30 minute "speed limit" ride from the 8:00 to 8:35 meetup. i was hoping to avoid ~20 minutes of standing around trying to figure out of people had flaked or were just running late. if you miss 8am (by much), just head for the ojai station.

Nearly every year (other than the one when the Ducati was in hundreds of pieces) we've gone from here (or SB) to SF, and I've never seen this kinda planning!!  Yous guys are dedicated!!!

We are in the middle of a move just now, but hopefully at the end of summer... And of course Fem-Moto and mayhap the Fem-Moto Trackday...  Don't know if we should bring one bike or two, it's confusing.  We are considering, if we don't head north, to jump into this ride, but I don't know where/how we'd stay etc etc...

OK, I'll be joining you all for the run from the base of Ojai out to the end of Cerro and back. 
Day trip, day loop...so if there are any lurkers that want to join this trip, I'd be happy to ride with you and help follow the bread crumb trail back home.

Haahaa!!  We always called it Eggs'n'Shit.  It's pretty good, just a funny name.  Have you even been to Cafe Emporium in Ojai?  I think the food there is a little better still.  Though both are good.

You seem to be confusing "planning" and "harassment" [evil]

I just figured out the only way to get things done around here was to hound people. ;D

Since we're going to be all the way up there can we take a slight detour from the 58 and ride Hwy 229 up into Creston and back? It's only five miles one way, but check out how cool it looks:






Check out the video - looks like fun:
You may run the risks, my friend, but I do the cutting. We cut down my percentage---uh, cigar?---liable to interfere with my aim.

The final measure of any rider's skill is the inverse ratio of his preferred Traveling Speed to the number of bad scars on his body.

Just bring some deodorant & your toothbrush ;D  I'll take care of the rest.  Depending on how many people actually show up on Sat. you'll either be in a bed or a sleeping bag on a couch with a nice roof over your head.  If anybody likes to rough it, they can sleep outside on a lounge chair on the deck [laugh]

Damn! What a host! How many sleeping bags can one house have?

BTW, guys, the Luxury Hotel'n'Gas at the Rice offramp was bulldozed about 6 months ago.

The meet point shown here:8:00a meet point is a little ways away from the former Luxury Hotel'n'Gas, and it's a Mobil station, right?

it's a fun road (i've ridden it), but we have a 'tard in the group that might be on fumes at the end of the 58.
