After over a year of not seeing my Grandsons the best time for us to visit conflicts with the rally. I am hoping we can restart the Tour d' Ho this fall. In the mean time, I'm out.
Hope to see y'all next year or maybe later this year.
Robert thanks for all the work you put in to this.
I don't know if I will be able to attend this year again. I am leaving on a Route 66 road trip and will be cutting it close in being able to attend. If I do, it will be in my GMC ! No car yet ! But here's what I have in anticipation of my maiden voyage in my future new Spyder when the next West Coast Cruise happens.
New "Racing Shoes"------New "Steam Punk Racing Hat w/Goggles n Gears"------"Special Racing Shoes Key Fob" (with no key attached yet).............Bruce
Just rode Hwy 1 yesterday Friday 5/7, and it was awesome! Barely any traffic, and all the one-way controlled traffic had no stoppage or if so, minimal. There are large sections that have been recently paved in the last 2 years.
A little windy north of Andrew Molera, but besides that it was clear, no fog yet either.
Campsites are open, as well as shoulders open for parking and pictures.
Is anyone bringing their guitar? Will we hear some sounds of Speedsters V 2.0?

You are looking quite fit Bruce. Whatever you've been doing is working. Keep it up.
@Gordon Nichols posted:@Cory McCloskey is that a photo from a prior West Coast Summer gathering? Must be a brisk, chilly breeze off that West Coast water....... Watch out for hail at higher elevations.
It is, Gordon! 2019.
It was Friday morning, and I departed before dawn from Morro Bay to head north to meet up with Ryan McCarthy so that we could punish our Speedsters on the Old Coast Road that runs inland from Bixby Bridge and pops out on the 1 many miles south. What a morning!
I’m bundled up like I’m flying a Sopwith Camel because I hit the road with temps in the 40s. 🤪
Unfortunately we won't be able to make it this year as we will be out of country 😟
I was hoping that we would be back on time but all return flight were full so we will now get back on Saturday. Super bummed that we won't make it.

You WILL be missed! 
Maybe we can put together a Northern Cal Mini-Cruise this summer either east to the Sierras or west to the Coast? 
It's a little ambitious to think about yet but if I get my Spyder finished by then I would be up for a cruise up that way..................Bruce
Robert M: I will be there on Friday with the Hwy 1 bunch. Ok'ed it with Napa Paul to bring my hot rod for the ride down. I will be staying with family in Paso, so I may miss the dinner. Looking forward to meeting everyone and checking out the cars.
@Troy Sloan posted:A Tour D'Hoe in early August would be GREAT!!!
You're "absotively positutely" right on! I wonder what Majorkahuna thinks that? 
Are you lurking out there in the ozone, Noel? 
Hey all. I would support a Tour d' Hoe in late August. I can take care of Hotel arrangements. Probably going back to the Beach Retreat would the best idea. Perhaps you and Ryan can arrange the drive up. For a Saturday drive a loop around the Lake is always great. Also some folks might want to go to Virginia City. The Hot Springs will all be Open in Aug as well. We can do a Saturday Dinner at the Hotel as long as we give them an advance notice.
@Robert M, reservation made. Let's do this!
I'll be bringing my eldest son, and driving down from the Carmel area on Friday for some extra adventures down the coast.
This will be one to remember.
@majorkahuna, August sounds good for Tahoe, but let's do it after Car Week. I'd like to take a trip down to see the classic races on the 7-8th, and the Concourse on the 14-15th.
Getting closer. I’m bringing my eldest son. I’ll be in Carmel by Friday, ready for another epic run down the coast with @Cory McCloskey.
Looking forward to a great cruise with you all.

This makes me really happy, all the way around. Good for you and your son, Ryan!

@OCC just previewed the swag, and @Robert M is hard at work on the route and schedule. I’m going to print us some nice route books too.
If you’re coming, make sure to let @Robert M know (and so @OCC can make sure there’s enough tshirts and hoodies for us). I requested 5 shirts and two hoodies myself. Very excited for this trip!
I thought I notified Robert my wife and I are coming.... got reservations and everything.
Sorry, I should have mentioned I don’t have the roster. I’m just going on the thread comments. Glad to hear you’re coming!
