O'dark-thirty....
Pat and about 32 of her closest biker friends...ready to ride!...
 
 
Stop in Tehachapi to pick up Debbie and Tracy...
and Vickie and Paul from Lancaster
 
Teri's helmet says it all...! ;)
West of Bakersfield...farm dust from machinery in the fields
Poor Mike! He and Sandra are leading the ride...
but Mike got up sick to his stomach!
He needed some "alone time" at our gas stop.
Lorinda and Tracy looks like the cats that ate the bird!...
Barry rode this far with us...but had chores waiting at home.
Kelly says to count them: "Lookie...five fingers!"
A bit more dust from the fields
Next gas at Santa Margarita--70 miles
 
 
Hal broke down with a dead electrical issue
Hal's a bit annoyed...
 
Sorry Judy...but
this is my personal favorite picture from the trip...taken by Teri ;)
And it's my PC screen background as we speak!
 
Vicki and Judy eventually formed a circle...
so Susan could shed her long johns!...
A jump start does the trick for Hal!... PHEW!
Poor Mike is still feeling poorly...
resting behind his bike...SIGH
Sigh again! Hal's bike is out of commission!
Jump starting didn't work this time. Likely a dead battery cell.
Hal and John would stay with the bike.
Wade and Mike Roberts would ride the hour to
Asascadero and return with a fresh battery!
Lorinda has her way of showing...
the temperature got down right balmy!...
 
Meanwhile...John finds precious little privacy
Sandra and Mike catch up...and decide to beline for Morro Bay
At this point...Wade too...climbed out of his long johns!
This pic is a place holder for Wade...
while we all wait for
Teri to give me pics of the real thingy....! ;)
 

And here are rapid fire pics Teri took of Wade's immodesty thingy...
that I've put into true animation for a true perspective!
 
Gina and John hang'n out...
once again...John's thwarted by no privacy!
Teri likes her Bill...and vice versa!... ;)
Hal has an impressive way of showing when he's none too pleased!
His dead battery is only a couple of months old.
Grrrrrrrr...!
 
Ah Ha! Signs of wineries....
Atascadero's Big Bubba's restaurant...and food and drink!...
 
What's not to admire?... ;)
"Ditto..." as they say in the movies...! ;)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Morro Bay rock is a sight that thrills Sandra's soul!...
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
This scene reminds Judy of the puzzles she loves to work!...
Gradually...Mike is feeling a bit better!
Considering his circumstances...he did pretty well.
 
 
Sea Lion critter takes a peek....
You're not real!...
...but Judy surely thought it was...
when she accidently backed into it...! ;)
 
 
 
I don't know: Lela looks like a lot of trouble to me!...
But Vikki is grinning and bearing her diar nanna chores!
Dwight's not so sure about the whole thing either....
Fog rolls in from the ocean very quickly
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
And I'll bet this is Bill's favorite of Teri!... ;)
Dwight, Kathleen, Britt and Judy enjoy some fish and chips
Vikki enjoying her twin daughters,...
Michelle (mom) and Angela (active military)...
and grandbabies Lela and [oh oh...I forget his name]! Sigh
 
I believe the head count in Morro Bay to be around 32 or 33 biker folks.
Quite a few of us wound up at Legend's Bar Friday night...
just a couple blocks from The Blue Sail Inn.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
We suppose that Gina, Judy and Pat are swapping gossip!...
Saturday morning...the 15th
It's a pretty typical perfectly calm gorgeous grey morning in Morro Bay
 
 
 
 
 
What a gorgeous morning...walking to breakfast....
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Gathering for a Saturday morning ride...
into the foggy misty Coastal Range Mountain foothills
 
Not everyone "gets to go"....
 
 
Wade? Aren't you a bit out of uniform?
Mike's feeling better all the time....
 
Some folks just want to crash and relax....
 
 
 
 
Sharing the road...it's all riding!... ;)
 
 
 
 
John...a former Marine Drill Sergeant...attacks the fog-veiled dirt hill first....
 
 
 
 
Teri claims to make a living by charging to delete pictures...!
 
 
 
Paul, Paul, Wade, Susan, Vickie, John, Don, Hal, Judy, Bill and Teri!...
 
Wade taking a foggy "whiz"...!
 
 
Getting down from the dirt pile is the next trick!...
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Mist-plus.... ;)
Hal had the best of intentions to ride the short distance north...
to Cambria and to Linn's for Olelalaberry pie...
but turned left instead of right at a crucial time...sigh
 
 
 
 
Touching base in Morro Bay's Blue Sail Inn....
 
Barb and Stan...always a welcoming smile and wave....
But a few of us bounce out of Morro Bay for Atascadero Harley!...
 
Can you say "Bling"?
And more "Bling"?
 
Wade...tell Teri "Payback is hell!"
Oh...crud...that's not her underware after all!
Vickie and Paul are from Lancaster...
but say they enjoy our company...and it's vice versa!...
 
 
 
 
 

In but a few moments...Sandra would cancel her meal...
and return to their room
for a day or two of Sandra being sick!
Biggest of all possible SIGHS!...
 
 
 
 
 
 
Thirty-two of us is too many to meet in a motel room...
for Saturday evening shenanigans.
But the welcome and hospitality was out from Barb and Stan.
"Hi Susan!"
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Sunday morning...the 16th...

Sandra wasn't feeling up to the ride home.
So Hal and John condescended to hang out another day at Morro Bay
with Sandra and Mike...and they'd all ride home Monday.
 
 
 
Judy and Don corrected Hal's unintended left turn...
and stopped at Cambria's Linn's Restaurant for
Olelalaberry pie! ;)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

And the finali?
We had sent Hal a text from Linn's saying we were there.
Hal wrote a text back while we were at Tobin James
saying that he was there too...as we spoke!
About that time...Judy noticed that she had left her purse at Linn's.
Sure enough...we asked...and Hal retrieved it for her...
bringing it back home on Monday!
Don't you just love texting? ;)
