Southern California Ride to Big Bear, Sat, 10/15

Organized by thePretender.  I will be joining him this Saturday.  Below are his words.  I hope some of you VFR enthusiasts can join.

Been saying all summer have to go to Big Bear before it gets cold up there, well winter is coming and still haven't been so now is the time.  [image: :3:]

Saturday the 15th 7:30 am KSU at the OCMOTO start site Edwards Market Place theater 13782 Jamboree Rd, Irvine, CA 92602 come early and eat some breakfast at the Corner Bakery.

Second meet stop Mobil Station, 2908 North Waterman Avenue, San Bernardino, CA 92404 where the 18 and the 210 meet. we should get there by 8:30 so KSU at 8:45

We will ride up the 18 to Big Bear where we will have some lunch (open for suggestions otherwise I'll use yelp and pick a spot) then head out and go down the backside on 38 down to Redlands then head home.

Expect some traffic so as spirited a ride as traffic will allow within reason, all are welcome will wait for those who's own ride is a bit slower ride your own ride and all that [image: :)] ATGATT is encouraged.

From the Mobil station at the base to the return in Redlands is about 107 miles google says 3 hours plus lunch and any other stops. Starting in Irvine at 7:30 expect to be back and home around by 2-2:30

Hope you join me and have a great ride  [image: :17:]

Would love to make this one but I'm away for this weekend. [image: emoji19.png]

Kinda late notice I know Rambler358. Thanks for posting this for me I was on the road all night and most of the day and am dog tired tonight.

Gonna be a cool day on the mountain hope a couple of you can join us.  

So tempting. But will be riding local and drinking beers with friends afterwards for a birthday celebration. 

Hi Jordan and Doug - Lance here. Big Bear without snow sounds like a great day of riding, but I can't be out that late - I'd get back to San Diego too late. Have fun and ride safe!

Ride went very well, and the weather was fantastic up there!  Crystal clear blue skies, and only slightly cool. 

Fall colors were everywhere!

Scenic viewpoint along Highway 38.  There was a Triumph interloper.  LOL!

Yeah I'm bummed I missed it. Other than watching racing this weekend, no physical motorcycle activity for me at all! Next weekend will be different though, track day at Fontana on Sunday!

Looked like a great ride. Next time for me.
