Good Lord willing and the creek don't rise, I'll be seeing y'all that Wednesday:eek:

[dougholck]

What is your route?
How long ya stayin?
Whats your favorite food?

[grifscoots]

I'm blowing and going, IH10 to 5. That is, unless I really make good time, then I'll have to take 1 up the coastline.

My favorite food? Anything but broccoli, cooked spinach and asparagus. I'm a simple guy with a simple mind.

OMG - you mean you don't like those thangs, but you'll eat brussel sprouts AND eggplant?!?! :eek: :v:

[grifscoots]

Well, on second thought...... NOT!!!!! I said I was simple. How do you expect me to remember the really disgusting ones that have been blocked? I remember a nun forcing me to eat something like that, I threw up on the plate and she made me eat it anyway.

[amarider]

Looking forward to it Grif, We'll come up with something good for Ya.

Have we been to the Burger King yet this year? :p

[LodiHal]

Maybe Grif would enjoy a BAC!!! Or a 2 pound T-bone steak... :D :D

I know we have an extra week to decide on a venue, which violates the HDDC tradition of waiting until there are mere hours before heading out,......but with Grif gracing us with his presence, it's not too early to start the selection process.

Let's pick a place that the guys to the South and West can make as well.

Maybe Pyramid Brewery, downtown Sac.?
Perhaps Vince's, Elk Grove?

Ideas anyone?

[amarider]

Grif might enjoy Fosters Big Horn and the ride along the river, or maybe a nice ride in the foothills.

[grifscoots]

Raffy's house!

[RaffyK]

[nelson61]

[RaffyK]

No...but you should be able to figure out from the thread he started and my response.

[grifscoots]

tick....tick.... figure, figure, tick.... tick.... cipher, cipher

[amarider]

I can smell the smoke from here.

[grifscoots]

I'll buy a beverage of choice for the first correct answer. You don't count John as I plan on getting you drunk anyway. No Wednesday night repeats, however.

While we're at it, what's the best time thru Los Angeles? Or, is there a good way to go around it and hit Hwy 1?

Delivering a new scoot to Raffy maybe?

Raffy's buyin' Barb!!! If I win buy Raffy a beverage; I'll be somewhere in Oregon, I think

Hey Grif - Have you thought about your new GT in the last 15 seconds??? :p :rotf:

[RaffyK]

There is no good time to hit Los Angeles.

If you want to bypass L.A. area I'd start heading northwest towards Mojave and come over Tehachepi (it can get cold) or take 395 up to 88 and get some twisties in before you head down to the valley and take 99 up from there to La Casa. Or go further up to Minden, NV and cut over to South Lake Tahoe and then take 50 to Sacramento.

or go up 395 and head over Tioga Pass and through Yosemite.

[LodiHal]

What, Raffy is getting ANOTHER TOY???? Jeeze, some guys... :D :D

If your objective is to "ride the Coast" from LA to SF, then shooting out to Malibu and the Pacific Coast Highway is rightious, dude :yeah: .

But traffic, especially on the Beach Freeways, is a real crap shoot. They're not commuter oriented so they get congested at odd times. I would expect normal city freeway speeds if you traverse the 90 miles between Redlands and Malibu between 9:30 AM and 2:30PM, Monday thru Thursday.

If you want to avoid the LA basin traffic, as John said, you can jump off of 10 and head up through Tehachapi, then head West to the Coast, say, Santa Maria.

If I were doing it, hadn't done it before AND time was not critical then I wouldn't hesitate to hit the PCH.
