Title: Roll Call - SSA Solstice Ride - Fort Bragg 06/17/17

Saturday Quest Ride to Fort Bragg

The longest daylight hours of the year are here and won't come again until next year.

Planned dawn, as in the crack of dawn kickstands up (KSU).*  It's forecast to be hot here and mild on the coast.  No chance of rain and very little chance of clouds, other than marine layer once at the coast.   The earlier we get there, the more heat we can beat on the central valley portion.  This will be about a minimum 650 mile ride, more if it turns into an overnight run.  Any takers in making this an overnight?  I'm willing to wing it and see what happens.  Willits should have rooms available if nothing else.

Post up what your vote is for a one or two day ride.  Hurry, the week will go by quickly.

Traditionally this is a ride to Fort Bragg for lunch, which usually takes the quickest route there and back, highways 80 & 20.  However, there's always been a few who, once there want to take in a little more, which turns into a run up the coast to Fortuna and coming back on hwy 36.   I'm game for as much riding as possible.

If a two day ride is settled on, then our overnight destination will probably be inland along hwy 101, depending on what we can find and how stupid crazy we get.   :P   As always it's left up to the group and every group is different.

RSVP** if you're planning on going.   If you do not RSVP, the ride may be canceled even if you had planned on showing up the day of the ride.  We'll depart on the ride as soon as everyone arrives and is ready, meaning, that if there are any newb riders, I will go over some of the key items they'll need to know.

North route ride.  This is a minimum C level ride pace route, so all riders welcome.  Just be aware of what you're getting yourself into...an adventure ride of enormous proportions.

*** Safety is paramount. ***
As always, see 2017 SSA Ride Schedule (https://www.sierrasportbike.com/smf/index.php?topic=4697) for everything that is expected of you and what you can expect. 


Hope to see you there.

* KSU dependent on when everybody is ready.
** RSVP - répondez, s'il vous plaît a.k.a. please reply.

Don't worry, it's not in replacement of.  It's the Solstice Ride!  Long since scheduled as it was.

Or could be considered as a sighting lap for the overnight trip.

...Gone.

Gonna work on my dirt bike instead.  Started on it last night thinking I had everything I needed.

I didn't.  Now I have to buy parts for it today so I can put it back together.

Dragon, if you're wanting to ride the coast, you better get it together.  Vegasrider already has a ride we're going on scheduled for two weeks from now.  See his thread for more details.
