Don't miss another fun weekend with the usual suspect like this last weekend's Morro Bay Ride!

We had a extraordinarily spirited ride from Alice's Restaurant in Woodside to the Cork and Plough in King City, braving the wet roads and a bit of rain down through Felton to Santa Cruz.

From there it was mostly bright sunshine and Cumulus clouds down Jolan Road past Nacimiento Lake and through the back country roads past amazing winery properties West of Paso Robles to Morro Bay.

John and Marty hosted the bar car in their room with big views of the bay and it felt like 'ol times' with the gang all chatting about the days ride and catching up!

Good times continued next door a Dorn's restaurant next to the Blue Sail Inn. More cocktails and a great dinner capped off the night as we closed down the place. Great fun!

The 1st SMR kicked off with a bone chilling good time as the group of hardy members and guests were up for the ride to Howard's Cafe in Occidental.

John Callahan joined us for coffee and BS at the Smith Ranch Deli in his well-healed Land Rover still wondering if his bike is in the storage he left it 3 years ago. Sounds like a good excuse for a new bike... Hmmm???

John Simmons and his feisty girlfriend, Marty Wickenhiezer rolled up in his Mustang... of course, with the top down... love that guy! They joined us in Occidental for breakfast and a few good laughs!

Paul McKenzie has rejoined the club after a few decades of absence and was the voice of reason to modify the route skipping LVR as it had rained on Sat and Sunday's temperatures were hovering around 36 degrees. I'm sure there were a few sketchy sections as several stretches of farmland West of Novato my dash temperature gauge hit 31 degrees! WOW... heated grips and clothing time!!!

Mike Morretti, a good friend of Robert Craig's, joined the group as a guest after being talked into buying a new KTM 890 R a couple weeks ago. As luck would have it, Mike got separated from the group after Jock peeled off early and ended up hitting a turkey on the way to Howard's. He was lucky with only the mirror ripped off, cracked handgaurd and maybe damage to the cruise control button... i.e., he did not wear any of the usual turkey trimming associated with an unintended collision.

Paul Goodacre, Lisa, Mike and I headed over the hill catching up again at Cafe Aquatica in Jenner for a pour over coffee and additional sparkling conversation... Good fun and more to come!!!

Look for another email later this month requesting RSVP for the 2024 Oyster Ride to Tony's Seafood Restaurant in Marshall coming up on Sat, January 27th.
