Norcal Bicycle Touring

From Michael
">> We’re planning on repeating the ride we did about this same time last year. I called and made a reservation in Pine Valley, made reservations on booking.com for the other motels, and reserved a U-Haul van. Everyone makes their own hotel reservations. All except Pine Valley can be done on the internet, Pine Valley requires a phone call. I called and they’ll be expecting calls. You can mention that you’re on the San Diego bicycle ride.

>>
>> The attached link, that I hope works, has a set of tabs. I’ll update the tab with the list of riders with emergency contact information.
>>
>> 1. Routes This is the daily ride and hotel reservation information. I’d suggest calling Pine Valley first and make this reservation by phone. All the others can be made online.
>>
>> 2. Transfer This is the list of rider segments that will be assigned. We share the driving and there are twelve segments determined by a lottery.
>>
>> For routes, if you’re familiar with ridewithgps, download the collections link. There are a number of corrections from last year’s ride.

>> For those that haven’t done the ride, or just may be interested, one of the riders did a write up on the ride for his bicycle group.
