SPyders in the Redwoods Aug 4-7

[dizzyspots]

SO I thought I'd start a "join-up" thread for those headed to Eureka...we're headed out of the Tucson area on Fri Aug 1 ...heading to the coast and then up the PCH to Eureka..Interested in hooking up along the route and riding together all or part?

[SpyderAnn01]

We will definitely be going and would be interested in riding up the PCH too.

[Chupaca]

will be going up pch as well...:clap:

[pacog1943]

Will join anyone going from SoCal.... Looking forward to another great ryde and event. Varoom! Paco

[lil rabbit]

I am planning to come down from Washington and I know of a few others from Portland area too. Hope to see everyone again.

[Kc6wfi]

What I thought it was going to be in Sonora again, o well, we are in Apple Valley Ca. If anyone goes through here we might hook up with you for the ride up.

[Spyder Tony]

I posted this previously...it has our route. Looks like the Spyder Ryders of America Sacramento Chapter is looking to caravan (discussion still in the preliminary stages) but all are welcome to ryde along as well.

Spyders in the Redwoods Dates have been set for August 4 - 7, 2014 barring any unforseen issues. My girlfriend and I will be ryding our Spyders coming out of Sacramento (Fair Oaks specifically) and heading up I-5 North on up through Red Bluff, then 36 West to 101 North on up to Eureka. If there are any other Spyder ryders who are planning on making the trip along that path, feel free to PM me and maybe we can all travel together. Even if we don't travel together, i'd be interested in knowing how many others are planning to go.

[dizzyspots]

Aug 2 PCH to San Simeon Pines
Aug 3 PCH...maybe Hearst Castle then Bodega Bay Inn for the night

[cabodan]

Anybody heading down to Eureka,Ca.from Vancouver/Seattle/Port Angeles area that might want to drive down as a group.

[lil rabbit]

Hey Dan,

I am planning to go down but not sure what day I am leaving. It could be Friday or Saturday not sure. Having to what for my schedule at work little later in the year right now. But I think I will leave on Friday around noon, since I am working nights right now. But I will let you know more when the date gets closer.

Bruce

[cabodan]

Hey Bruce,Right now we are planning to leave early Saturday morning on Pt.angeles ferry.But that can be changed as its still early.
My email is cabodan@shaw.ca

[cabodan]

Just booked our rooms at the RODEWAY INN and if you mention Spyder Ryders rates start at $75 for king bed per night.
Ask for T.J as she is the owner.

[CentralCoastCA]

We are going - had originally planned to head up PCH from San Luis Obispo area, but we have opted to go home the coastal route instead. Be aware that this is the busy tourist season along PCH, so make hotel reservations as soon as possible.

[CentralCoastCA]

looking for lodging selections in the Cambria area...Aug 2 headed north to there from Yucca Valley...seems there is a British motorcycle group that is in the neighborhood and has the Palms booked up...

Might want to try TripAdvisor.com - I've used them for years to book hotel reservations and I've found the comments to be fairly accurate on the facilities.

[cabodan]

Its a hit and miss situation with any hotel and the reviews with Red Lion are just as so so.We have stay in some good MOTEL 6s and some bad ones.

[Larry rt]

Just saw the redwoods in Yosemite park !! Great ride, also ride to glacier point ! We went there from Spyderfest , riding highway one , now , then back to Michigan . You guys enjoy the redwoods !!

[jaherbst]

Will be leaving for Eureka on Aug. 1st. Looking forward to it. Will be taking the toy hauler up and staying in it. Wife wants to bring the Giant Schnauzers along.

I understand, no problem. What will your route be heading to Astoria on August 1st? Will you be passing by Olympia, Washington? Perhaps you can designate a time and location that is easy for us to meet in Olympia (I will be travelling down on I-5 to meet you).

Still have to check for accomodations in Astoria as this was not my intended route. Thanks Dan.

Have you two considered using PM's or maybe getting a room together???

PM's are generally used for this. It is used for more of a personnel communication between two parties and not the general forum membership.

Have a great ride down!

[cabodan]

HaHa get a room together thats funny.:roflblack:

[Well Hell]

We are planning to ride now that the doc says she can ride again.:clap:We will leave the San Diego area probably on the 1st and make a leisurely ride up the coast. She wants to go over the Golden Gate Bridge, it's a bucket list thing, so we will take our time and see you all there!:yes:

[SpyderGirl]

So happy to see you all planning and getting excited about the fourth annual Spyders in the Redwoods event. We have a lot of great things planned again for this year. If you missed the pre-registration period, you can still register on the first day of the event at the Red Lion in Eureka. They are also rooms still available.

Safe travels to you all and can't wait to see you all there!!! :yes:
