The April Meeting will be at Sly Park in Pollock Pines April 25th at 5:00pm. The ride will be leaving from the Pleasanton Denny’s, 6455 Owens Drive at 9:00 am. Please arrive with a full tank of gas so we can leave promptly at 9:00. The destination is Sly Park, group camp site #1, 4771 Sly Park Road.
Google route maps will be available at the start of the ride and there will be no pre-ride. First timers should check in with Dave Halliwell, the ride leader. The group rides a staggered formation on the freeways and in the straight stretches. In the twisty’s we usually ride single file.
If the group is going to slow for you, pass on the outside and feel free to leave the group and ride your own ride. When riding with the group it is always safety first. If the person in front of you starts drifting while reading his map or GPS, back off, and ride single file. Only resume a staggered ride when the rider has settled down. Keep a safe distance between yourself and the person in front of you. There is a natural selection order that happens on the group rides. Faster riders move to the front and slower riders migrate to the rear. We are not in a race and remember it is the ride not the destination. With the recent rains we may still see some wildflowers on this ride. If we see a nice view of wildflowers with a safe spot we will take a kodak moment.
We have not made arrangements for dinner but there are several nice places to eat and stay in Pollock Pines. For dinner I plan on trying The Haven Restaurant, 6396 Pony Express Trail, Pollock Pines (530-644-3448), if they are open. It has some nice reviews on the web. I give my thanks to Tom Harris for making the camping arrangements this month. This looks like a great site with a nice lake. Camping fees will be $5.
