Via Carson City, it's a round trip of approx. 250 miles.........drone along hwy 50 until almost to Placerville, then north on Ice House Road to the intersection with Wentworth Springs Road. Take Wentworth Springs Road into Georgetown. From Georgetown, Reno riders might opt to take hwy 49 to Auburn, then on home via Hwy 80. Being a Carson City resident, I'll take 49 into Placerville and head home via Hwy 50.
I'll be there. And yes nvgixxer that is the route.
For the guys heading down from Reno, that want to get an early start, we're going to meet at LaVecchia at 8:00 for some cappuccino. Watch this thread for updates if that changes. From there we'll head to Carson City via Geiger and the Truck Route.
It's been awhile since I've done a Sunday ride, I can't wait. :D

Ever thought of altering this route to do 88 and the immigrant trail? It's a fun road with no traffic and pops out on 50 at Pollack Pines.
NVgixxer that must have been you that went by my house this afternoon? I was cleaning out the garage, you know spring cleaning.
And to the newbie that just signed up, Wentworth is the BEST road around. You will enjoy it emensly.

Hey repsol! Yeah, that was me returning from Monitor! I thought I saw that 1000RR of yours sitting out there in the driveway! I live a few blocks away down on Empire Ranch Road. I didn't see you or I'd of stopped for a chat, you should have thrown a broom or something at me! You gonna make it on Sunday?
I always plan ahead, served notice on my two kids...............we shall celebrate Father's Day on SATURDAY! ;D

Yes indeed, great route idea! I've done it that way many times in the past, during the week (dodging logging trucks all the way!). ;D
Sounds like good times! I'm still do not have 100% clearance, but for now I'm going to say I'm in. I'll be starting in Reno.

Wish I could Ian, gotta pick my two pups up from the groomers this afternoon.........argh! Like posted yesterday, watch out for the "man" on the TR, if that's where you guys are headed! Me? Too tired?? The only time I get tired is after a jog around the golf course! ;D
Hey all im new here, but me and My Fz6 will be there ready to roll. I am stoked to find some new folks to ride with.
Wentworth is a great run. Yall be careful. I can't get the day off work. Bummer for me and I trashed my tires at the track last Sun.
Everyone who goes have a great time.

We leave Carson and 9:30 so I think we should be there around 11. Does that sound about right? The turnout is before we get to the store right? We'll keep an eye out for your red honda.
looking forword to it.
nvgisxxer you are hurting my feelins. But I'm happy for you and your retirement.
Mase sorry to hear your not in for the Sunday ride. Really happy to hear your tyres are trashed by the Race Track. That's cool.
I don't know exactly what time we'll be at the turn off. Once we leave Carson at 9:30 we'll bypass Kingsbury grade and take Diamond Valley road to Hwy 4. Then take Luther summit over to Tahoe. I can't see us doing Spooner. But things might change. We probably won't be to Hwy 50 till around 11:00 Like Resistor said. So maybe giver us a little time. We should be there around 11:30 to 12:00. If you don't see us don't wait pass 12:15 get on with your ride. Also we'll need a good place for lunch to. That's what I thought would happen I hope it sound right. See you tomorrow. ;D
Hey Jerome! Good to see you're up for it tomorrow! Sheeesh........I thought you might have died and gone to heaven or somethin'!!! HAHA! Hey..........as far as an eatery for lunch.......a GREAT burger can be had in Georgetown, a little cafe just past the fire station right in the middle of town. Last month when a couple of us were down there, it was 100 degrees in the shade...............tomorrow will more than likely be close to that!
Jerome did go to heaven. Track day after track day, after track day.
I am going to do everything in my power to be there, look forward to riding with all of you. Wife is out of town so i should be able to go ;D. I just have one isue that with my bike that im working on.
I need my bike brought over to Calif on Sunday, oh and my gear, can anyone swing by my house and haul it over? HHHHhheheheheh, seriously if anyone has a truck or trailer comming this way I would really appreciate it. ::)
Me and Jenx cant go :( we have been detained until further notice :( :(

repsol71: piece of cake, problem solved................put your gear on your body, your body on the bike, twist the right wrist and presto.....you'll be in CA in no time, with us! :)
nvgisxxer looking forward to seeing you again tomorrow. I have a lady friend coming back from L.A. tomorrow so I want to meet her in Gardnerville tomorrow around 3. I hope I can pull it off. So I'll have to turn and burn tomorrow. I think we're going to have a good turn out tomorrow. See the Reno crew at La Vecchia in the morning at 8am turning keys at 8:30 sharp. Over V.C. to Carson City to the Starbucks South of Carson. nvgisxxer can you meet us at the Chevron on Hwy 50 to lead us to Starbucks? If not Justino I'm sure knows the way. Laterrrrrrrr
Hey Jerome....you'll have no problem finding the south Starbucks, especially if John (CBR1100XX) or my bro Ian (Buell12r) show up, they were both here on our last Monitor ride a few weeks back.
Anyway....................heading south on hwy 395 out of Carson, continue approx. 1 mile past the Spooner (hwy 50) turn off and Topsy Lane is at the top of the hill at the light. Turn right on Topsy, then left to Starbucks. Gas station is a stone's throw away from Starbucks, just opposite Walmart.
See you guys there.....................
Jim
Great
Hopefully everyone that went had a blast and came back rubber side down. Wish I could have went, I love that road; But dirt bags don't stop. Job security I guess.
WHAT A GREAT RIDE. I WONT TO THANK YOU GUY'S FOR LETING ME RIDE WITH YOU. CANT WAIT FOR THE NEXT TRACKDAY SEE YOU THERE. :) :) :) :)
well i made it back in one peice had a great time,
and wore out that pesky tire that i have had for almost two months
well that's ok i am puting my bike in the shop this week for some warranty work (buell go figgure)
might as well get some new rubber while im at it
Man O live, what an absolutely great ride it was yesterday! Great company and 12 riders showed up at Starbucks, but unfortunately, only 7 ended up making the entire ride. Icing on the cake was hooking up with that Sacramento group on Ice House Road! Whew..................thanks to all and especially Jerome for setting a heart thumping pace for us! Dang, if I keep riding with you crazy dudes ;D, I'll have to go back to work to finance new tires that I'm lucky to get 2,000 miles out of lately! WHEW!
I'm stoked...................we gonna do the Ft. Bragg thingy next weekend, or are you kids all worn out after yesterday?? ;D ;D
J/K............I love you guys!
Hey Russell, post them pics son!!
I had a blast yesterday too!! ;D It felt so good to be back on a Sunday Ride. I'll post up the pictures tonight when I upload them off my camera. My new tires are coming in today, I sure do need them.
Are you kidding...worn out...no way! I love these rides and I'm down for Ft. Bragg next weekend. 8)
Thanks all for the fun. I hope that we can do it again. Sorry for leaving early, but my partner-in-crime and I could not spend the whole day riding. Be safe out there!!
