Hmm..tempted to join on this, but this would require me to flip my sleep schedule around. Most events up to now, have been on my work weekends.

the norm for me is staying up to 7am to regulate for my work schedule.

Its going to be a nice ride with lots of stops. Bring a lunch for Grover Hot Springs. I hear you on the hours I work swings myself. But its worth it to cruise up into the hills with a good group. Any questions give me a call.

Hi Willum........

if we maintain our schedule, we should be in Stockton at Hwy 99
and Hwy 4 East between 9:00 and 9:30. Larry will probably get
back to you tomorrow night when he is back in the office, but I
thought I'd post this here to give you an idea. Hope you can make
it as it will be a fun time for all. New club cell number is 510-881-3456!

Details,details

Be at breakfast at 7am. Leaving Breakfast at 8am in Clayton ( Country Waffles 5435 Clayton RD). Hwy 4 Just east of Hwy 99 910 am. Angels Camp 10 am. We will make a stop just east of Angels Camp. A stop at Lake Alpine. Over Ebbetts Pass . Lunch at Grover Hot Springs at 1245. Then out Hwy 89 over Monitor Pass to Hwy 395 and then Hwy 108 west over Sonora Pass with a stop on the west side. All times are wishful thinking and do not imply that we can keep them after the start . Dont forget your lunch, radios, cameras and full tanks.

West side of Sonora pass stop

This stop is right after we go over Sonora Pass around 3 pm. We should hit Oakdale around 6pm. Does this answer your question?

Sonora pass

Just did the Sonora pass on Monday, WOW!! Never done it before, pretty fun driving there, had to slow down a few times (wife getting car sick), does that mean I was driving too fast? Had a lot of fun, wish I could join you but have to work.

Neil

p.s. now I know what the bottom of my steering wheel looks like.

Thanks Clint!

And thanks to everyone who was on this run. It was one I have wanted
to do for a long time and I hope everyone had as much fun as Carol & I
did. Again we made new friends and shared some great times and laughs!

This is what it's all about my friends and I look forward to seeing you all
again soon......

Rick Sherman
