The Bay Area Ride #6 (2012)is very memorable for me (for several reasons) I wanna relive the GLORY!

I propose a hybrid route that will take us out near the Nevada border, and deviate the return trip up through icehouse and wentworth springs. New for me because we will be riding in the opposite direction to what we usually do.

The meeting place will be Starbucks in Manteca, (Near Hwy 99 and Yosemite ave.)
1451 Hulsey Way, Manteca, CA.  We can eat at the same place as last time, Mountainview BBQ, Hwy 395, Coleville, CA.  (Hope it's still there). 

Kickstands up at 8:00 AM should allow us to finish before dark.  It'll be a long day for sure.

Anybody interested?

Cheers

I'm in.

Great, you'll have to ride my bike again... I did the rear and Jamie Daugherty is doing my front suspension. Should be awesome when I get it back :goofy:


#12

looks like an awesome ride, might be able to meet you in Coleville and ride to Georgetown, probably have to ride the VFR RR, cause waiting on parts for the ZRX


#13

This. Always wanted to see that bike in person.

And crazybro we gotta swap 7ths - I realized the other day that I've still never ridden a regular-shift one.


#15

Alright.  Looks like the ride is shaping up nicely:

Hey there Jeff.  I'm thinking about making the ride on Saturday, however I live in Fresno, so am trying to figure out the logistics....


#17

Awesome!  Well, you'll definitely get the award for most miles covered.  Just head up 99 until you get to Manteca.  Take the East Yosemite Avenue Exit, around the block to the west to Hulsey Way.  We meet at the Starbucks 1451 Hulsey Way.   I'll try to be there by 7:30.  Kickstands up at 8:00 AM.  Hope you can join us.  We got a real good group of riders.  You're sure to have a  good time.   Jeff  J.

Yeah, I was thinking about maybe heading up Friday night... 


#19

Are you guys planning on ending up back in Manteca at the end of the ride?


#20
My other plans fell through. I'll see you guys Saturday!

Tc is in and I'm out.
Sorry guys, but I've got way too many things that have to be taken care this weekend.
You can only put so much stuff off for so long before you're buried in BS.
See ya on the next one.

JMS,

At the end of the ride, when we hit Auburn,  everybody will probably disperse from there.   Jeff J.


#26
Well, change of plans again. Taking an emergency trip to Seattle tomorrow so I won't be making this one.
#27

OK, so as of tonight, the ride group looks like this:

Unconfirmed:  Crazy bro's  bro.

Greg, My interpretation of  "Hey, wait up F'ers!" means your riding on Saturday.  Ed and I are meeting at the Shell station, east bound 580 at Santa Rita Road at 6:30 AM, if you want to meet us there and ride out to Manteca together.  I'll be departing Hayward around 6:05. 

JMS,  I'll follow up with a PM to confirm, and to exchange cell numbers.

Wow an actual VFRD ride with VFRs. What a concept!


#30

VFR'S Freakin' Rule Dude!


#31

I'd like to see how fast your fifth gen can fly over French Meadows dam!  Be careful, though, no ABS available!

Haha we'll find out soon enough. Straight line speed is not it's forte. Nor is stopping, for that matter.


#32

Mosquito Ridge coming back from French Meadows with camera placement at last chance always struck me as the coolest place for a 5G sound quality test.
