Man I'm sorry I'm going to miss the NorCal-SoCal sitdown.

Too bad ... Should have told your wife it would have been a nice short weekend getaway.

Where's everyone staying? I'm at the Travelodge in Morro Bay (in case anyone wants to hook up).

I was planning on it being a weekend, then this 40th birthday for our friend came up.

Only if you looked like your avatar man. :lol:

You mean I don't look like it? Must have had a bad hair day ... :lol:

Wherever the crack-wimmin are at, that's where I'll be. Right, Mike? :innocent:

Since I'm broke as a joke I'll have to drive down the same morning :(

It'll be a long day but well worth it.

So all I gotta do is find the nearest crack-house, and that's where you'll be? :lol:

Looks like SoCal BF'ers are planning some dinner Friday night, but nothing set yet. As far as Saturday, 6:45-7 am rollout. When's everyone else planning to start?

I'll leave whenever anyone else does. I'd rather roll out in a group than all alone. Plus I've never met a lot of you so I wanna put in a few miles with y'all.

Oh crap, this is this upcoming weekend? Argh. I'd need to be there by 6am or so, and I'm five hours away. That's not good math.

Anyone looking for a registration?

Take a day off ... get there Friday, pick up your registration, then do the ride on Saturday. I'm four hours away, so don't give us this "Oh, it's a long drive for me" ... upgrade your C string. The violin is really out of tune. :lol:

Anyone else staying at the Econo Lodge at 1100 Main st in Morro Bay?

What are we doing for the pre ride dinner on friday night? Or will it be too late?

If there is nothing, we might judt stop someplace along the way.

Take a day off.No can do. This Friday is busy busy for me. I'll be lucky to get off on time, let alone anything resembling early. *shrug* Oh well. I was more into this ride when I signed up than I am now anyway.

When are you arriving? I'm staying at the Travelodge in Morro Bay. Plan is to sign in for registration on Friday, then possibly dinner afterwards. Dinner plans will probably be shored up later in the week.

Travel Lodge is just down the street from Econo Lodge.

I'm not leaving the house until around 6pm, since I have to work Friday. So I won't be rolling in until almost 10 PM. That's probably too late to meet up for dinner. I'll see about leaving early on Friday, but wouldn't 8 or 9 pm still be pretty late to meet up.

We can meet up at the Travel Lodge in the AM to ride to the start together.

If we can't meet up early enough, we'll probably just swing by something quick in Morgan Hill, Gilroy or Salinas.

I'm in the Travelodge also - we're planning to roll into town in the early afternoon on Friday. Is everyone staying on Saturday night? I have a reservation to stay, but am not sure if I will or not.

Looks like I have some fieldwork this week, putting in a long day mid-week... Thus, I should be able to leave early on Friday. I'll let you know... I'm guessing I can be there around 8 PM or so.

So all I gotta do is find the nearest crack-house, and that's where you'll be? :lol:

either that or he'll be hanging with the plumber chicks.;)

Bossman and I are staying there but probably won't arrive until 7:00 Friday Night. Would still like to get my pasta/carbs on that night but don't know any restaurants. We'll also be rolling out around 7:00 or so the next day for the metric ride. We'd love to hook up with somebody for this event.

I'll try to find out what my friends Herb, Mary, etc ... are doing. We're all at the same hotel/motel, and hopefully free of cockroaches and crack.

Oh man. Check out Windows on the Water if you're in the mood for some nice high-end repast.

Go for the Hofbrau if you want cheap+yummy pub grub, including some amazing garlic fries.

My brother lives in morro bay and I love the scene and the riding around there. Wish I'd planned for this event, sounds like it will be a great trip. Have fun all!

:thumb: Very Funny as that was the faire of the day over at that last place. Hopefully they have phones that actually have cords attached. :roflmao2:

Thanks for the offer but I just can't make the logistics work.

At first glance, this is how I read your reply:

Did anyone come up with a carbo-loading dinner spot on Friday night? My wife (non-rider) and I are headed down on Friday. We're staying in SLO at the Marriott Courtyard, but can head over to Morro Bay for dinner if there is a NorCal dinner group.

I originally signed up for the flat century, but will probably drop down to the 100k with Mhendricks and Bossman. Note that the email I received from slobc said the 100K routes don't open til 8am (which is different from what the website says).

I'm meeting a bunch of SoCal'ers at Otter Rock. http://www.morrobay.com/OtterRockCafe/

Do you have reservations? Can we tag along? I'll be riding with a friend, so we'd add 2 to your list. Plus, then we might actually find out what all these random references (cockroach dance?) are about.

JB

PS - we can always make our own reservations if the party is already too big.

No reservations made yet.

I'm down to go wherever everyone else is going.

I won't have the internet after about 10am tomorrow, so before that happens has anyone decided what time you're all gonna start the ride or should I just show up and look for all the BF jerseys?

If you have TXT messaging on your cell, you should try using Twitter. It's pretty handy.

Marko,
We'd love to have you ride with us. As for dinner, give me a call on my cell 408-828-1577 or for anyone that will be down in Morro Bay call me.

BTW, there's huge lunch spread, so a lot of times, people meet there, and ride back together. Anyhow, it's gonna be hugely fun! :D

There's a group that is meeting between 6:45 - 7 am.

i'm gonna try to make the meet-up/depart time. ... i'm in for the flat metric, but might change course and do the hilly version.

Thanks - I'll check in with you tomorrow early evening. Are you guys doing the flat or hilly metric?

Ron, what time are you leaving the hotel in the AM?

What time is the pre-ride dinner on Friday night?

The plan is we are meeting at Otter Rock at 7:30 PM, which is at 885 Embarcadero (very close by the hotel). I think we will probably leave the hotel around 6:30, or something like that. But we can call each other to shore up plans.

Ron

hey! I'm up here from so-cal (my non summer location) and will be wearing a merril lynch jersey so say hi if you see me!

I'm riding down to Woodside. Maybe I'll see you.
