~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

• When: Saturday 6/3/17, Arrive with full tank by 9:30 AM, KSU 10:00 AM

• Where: Steamin’ Hot Coffee & Espresso (formerly "Surf City Coffee")

Address 7990 Cabrillo Hwy 1, Moss Landing, CA (http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Surf+City+Coffee+Company,+Inc.,+Cabrillo+Highway,+Moss+Landing,+CA&hl=en&ll=36.798358,-121.783222&spn=0.000909,0.004123&sll=37.357454,-122.396986&sspn=5.274078,16.589355&oq=Surf+City+Coffee&hq=Surf+City+Coffee+Company,+Inc.,&hnear=Cabrillo+Hwy,+Moss+Landing,+Monterey,+California&t=m&z=19&layer=c&cbll=36.798358,-121.783223&panoid=K2VtCW4p4K-Riv5sA2qQOg&cbp=11,271.05,,0,4.48)

• Pace: Not too slow, not too fast, just right.

• Gear: Head to toe.

• Motorcycle: Yes, please bring one with you ;-)

• Route: Expect 165 +/- miles of great roads of the South Bay, Monterey Peninsula and inland in a counter-clockwise manner. On the menu are some of my favorite roads including Carmel Valley and Hwy 25.

Ride ends around 4 PM in Hollister. We will then break into small groups and head home.

Rain Will Cancel. Not for newbies. Recommend 15K miles and 1-2 years seat time.

• LUNCH: in KING CITY

We will use " Tacos La Potranca De Jalisco " at 201 Broadway as our base, but there are other restaurants nearby and across the street as well. Remember, after lunch don't take a nap or go shopping. Just come back to the group so we can leave on time. KSU is 1 hour from when we arrive. We'll get gas after lunch.

Words of Wisdom:

  • Please review Liability Release statement at THIS LINK (http://www.groupridesforum.net/pages/Liability_Release/)

  • Recommended Reading: THE PACE (http://www.rka-luggage.com/A17%20The%20Pace/the%20pace%202.pdf)By Nick Lenatsch.

  • Proper gear, a working machine and gas in the tank is highly recommended.

  • Ensure you and your motorcycle are in good working conditions.

  • Ride within your comfort zone and leave room for bad karma.

  • Ride staggered in straights. In twisties single file and 2-3+ seconds apart.

  • Lead may pass slower traffic when it's safe. You don't have to. Remember, someone will wait for you at turns, so just relax and have fun.

  • Leads will maintain The Pace according to road conditions with safety of all riders in mind. Be mindful of others in the group. Let faster riders get ahead of you by moving to the right and signaling them to pass you. And if you want to pass the rider(s) who are in front of you, make sure to do so safely and without startling them.

  • Do not make unsafe passes, or pass from the right.

  • When we stop at gas stations, fill up. That may be the only gas stop of the ride.

  • If you need to leave early, be sure to tell the lead and sweep. Be in the back of the group when leaving so no one follows.

  • It's a good idea to have road side emergency and towing service membership (e.g., AAA). Or call Ambroz Towz @ (510) 385-2374 for moto tow with care.

  • Getting a flat tire in not uncommon. Carry "Stop & Go" tire repair kit. GroupRides gets a group discount. See this link (https://www.meetup.com/GroupRides/pages/19508143/Preferred_Dealers_and_Motorcycle_Services/) for more info.

  • Carry water and snacks.

  • Good stuff to read before going on group rides (CLICK (http://www.groupridesforum.net/messages/boards/thread/9266605)).

  • Please keep an eye for the rider(s) behind you so they won't take a wrong turn. If they get lost, we all have to go look for them:
