drswift Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 (Formerly known as “Dead Center in the Middle of Nowhere.”) With some of the best riding in Northern CA, from the coast to Trinity Lakes, you won’t want to miss our third gathering the weekend of May 19 – 21, 2017. We will be returning to the quaint little Red Hill Motel in Weaverville. Rooms range from $47.25 for a single to $120.75 for a cabin that sleeps four. Some with kitchenettes and covered parking. Call our great host, Patty Holder, at (530) 623-4331 and make your reservations now. For more details, contact Dave Swift (drswift) or Mark Bonner (mbelectric). (This is a small motel, so don't wait to make your reservations.) Link to comment

Marty Hill Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 WTH, someone from the east coast has to show up so I'm in! Link to comment
LBump Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Booked the other day. Looking forward to see'n East Coast and West Coast folks! That's good ride out here for you Marty. Thought you didn't want to do anymore cross country rides... Link to comment
Marty Hill Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Riding across the country after 20+ times has become very boring. I'll probably ship to a friends house in norcal. My son has a farm up near the oregon border so I'll visit him for awhile after the weekend. After that? I haven't a clue! Link to comment
StuGotz Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 I'm liking the group that's shaping up. Marty, you are welcome to store your bike here in SJ. Occupied warehouse and airport pickup if you need it. PM me. Mark. Link to comment

RT Russ Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Wish I could. Work always seems to have plant shutdowns in conflict with this event . I'm hoping to retire before they can prevent me from coming to the next one. Ride safe........ Link to comment

Twisties Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Just spoke with Patty. The big house is open. It has a bedroom with a queen and a twin. There is a common area with a full kitchen and two more twins. I think she said $136/nt. Sharon and I are hoping for a cancellation on one of the regular rooms. Please post or pm if anyone cancels. Thanks. Link to comment
Tank Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 I stayed at the Red Top last week ( third of May ) and Patty mentioned that they built a pretty nice Horseshoe Pit up in back and that shoes are avaliable to guests. The weather was wonderful , though the roads were skitchy due to rainfall and snowfall. As of the 4th of May.... 36 was open 3 was open 96 was one way with delays in places Forks of the Salmon , one way/ delay ... short wait A lot can change of course in two weeks Link to comment

Looks like maybe a detour exists on the west side of the river if a group wanted to do a 96/3 loop on sat. I'm trying to decide which bike to ride. Link to comment
TheDigginDutchman Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 In and booked my nephew Nicholas and I hope to roll in friday afternoon. See y'all Soon. Cornelis Link to comment
stubble! Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Planning to be there late afternoon. Working around a 3pm call I can't shirk. Any plans for Saturday in people's minds? 96/3 loop to Yreka? One of the most amazing rides I know.... 36/299 loop to Eureka? Also fantastic... Lassen? Forest roads? local stuff? Dirt? Sit around and drink lattes and tell lies? What's happening? Link to comment
Bill_Walker Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 In Fort Bragg for the night. Will arrive tomorrow afternoon. Link to comment
