The March meeting will be held at Bothe-Napa Valley State Park located at 3801 Saint Helena Hwy, Calistoga, Ca at 5:00pm on March 28th. The group ride will start from Denny's, 250 Fairgrounds Drive, Vallejo at 9:00 am and will be lead by Dave.
The planned ride will be from Denny's up to Lakeport via Suisan Valley Road and through Middletown. Lunch will be planned for Lakeport, location TBD. After lunch we will head for Ukiah along HW20 and then up to Booneville on 128. From Booneville, we will meander back down 128 to Calistoga and Bothe-Napa Valley State Park. The ride looks like it will be 224 miles and should take 6 1/2 hours. Google maps will be provided at the beginning of the ride.
Camping fees will be $5 payable to the ride leader or club treasurer. Please contact Dave if you want the site reserved for Friday night.
If we get bad or inclement weather the ride may be cut short. Either way the club meeting will occur at Bothe Napa Valley campground at 5:00pm.
There are many dinner locations available in Calistoga. For the budget minded Buster's BBQ is north of the campground at the stop light in Calistoga. Heading south from the campground there is a nice looking brew pub about 3 miles down the road. I'm 99.999%sure this is where Richard and Dave will be dining.
As always, ride safely and ride within your skill set. Please gas up before breakfast, as we will hit the road at 9:00am. The club rides staggered formation on the freeways and then single file through the twisties. Always pass on the outside and don't worry about keeping up with the group. We will re-group at each major turn. New riders need to check in with the group leader at the start of the ride.
