-This ride is not best for anyone who has not been out riding ALL day before. It will be a long ride. All are welcome to join, but I suggest you have a good 2500 miles experience and have ridden over 150 miles in one day before. You will be sore.

-This is a twisty ride by far. We will be on Highway 1 for nearly all of the ride. Great views, high cliffs.

-Gas stops planned, as long as you can get 100 miles between gas stations, you will be fine. Gas available at all map markers.
 
i'm tempted to join this... but in my car
 
Getting a Ninja 250 this weekend so I'm in!
 
Newish rider in unless I have trouble waking up that morning. :D

Sounds good. Anyone riding down from San Fran?

I'm in Daly City so I can roll with you to San Jose. If you're interested just PM me when the event gets closer.
 
Guys, try to pay attention to the road, yeah? Cause the scenery in this ride is just that gorgeous!
 
Rides a bit short isn't it:wtf but If I start at 5am like normal maybe I can get in a few bonus miles before meeting up.

I'll keep this mind and let you know later
