Oh damn ! One of my favorite little sections thru the forest.

Dave, all you have to do is reply with a comment to RSVP.

Thanks Padu, I really look forward to doing things together and helping each other out and growing the dualsport / adventure bike community again in San Diego.

He worked at San Diego House of Motorcycles for many years, I met him there back in 1993 and we became friends. Then when they closed, he went over to SDBMW.

Some of you may have known Geoff King who worked for many years at SDBMW, and for many years before that he worked at SD House of Motorcycles. I have known Geoff for 32 years, we roadraced together and were good friends. He passed away at his home a couple weeks ago. RIP Geoff ! SDBMW is having a memorial ride Sunday 9/22. I'll be there. Geoff King Memorial Ride Please join friends and family this Sunday, September 22nd for a celebration of Geoff's life at San Diego BMW Motorcycles, 5673 Kearny Villa Road. There will be coffee and food available at 08:00 a.m. At 09:15 there will be a riders meeting, and we will be leaving the shop after the riders meeting. Following the spreading of the ashes, all ride participants can leave and go their own way. We anticipate the memorial ride to conclude at approximately lunch time. PLEASE RSVP BY EMAIL TO: memorial.ride@sdbmwmc.com San Diego BMW Motorcycles | 5673 Kearny Villa Road | San Diego, CA 92123 US

I always wondered what Zubb wants to do with people's meat.😆

Yesterday we had a good BBQ get together with our dualsport club San Diego Adventure Riders at the home of Dav Minsky. We had about 17 people show up. BajaDog brought Elk burgers and we had beer brats and all the fixins to go along with it. A good time was had by all. Thanks for the generous donations that covered cost of the food and $40 extra to support the club website. Big thanks to Dav for hosting again and to Marco for the Elk burgers which were delicious. Was good seeing everyone and meeting new guys too.

Dave, I have plenty of plastic spoons, knives, forks that I'll bring.

Here is the head count: about 14 people Me, DSM8, Bajadog, Mr. JA JA, Zubb, Jfive, TNTMO, Adventure Smeghead, and 4 from Facebook: John Stahl, Tom Giamonco, Dave Willice, Randale, and maybe a couple others. BajaDog is bringing & making Elk burgers. BajaDog, you want me to pick up the burger buns also ? I am bringing beer brats with buns, tomatoes, onion, ketchup, mustard, maybe lettuce, potato and mac salad. Please bring some $$ towards food and voluntary donation to SDAR if you'd like.

Yes, let's do it !

So about 8 people have replied....any more interested ? There will be a few people from the FB group also. I have a bunch of beer brats to cook up and hope the Elk burgers are still coming. Please RSVP here.

I know the way up Santa Rosa Mountain, it's a dirt road off the 74 heading towards Palm Desert. I was just up there 2 months ago. Here are some pix from the up there.

Anyone wanting to go, please RSVP. Or, should we postpone this a couple months when it won't be so hot in Ramona ?

Yay ! Great news, I love that trail.

If Bajadog brings Elk burgers, than I'll pick up some hot dogs and/or brats, fixin's and sides. As Dave said, bring whatever you'd like to drink with you.

Hey All, if you choose another date for this ride, please start a new thread with new title....easier to keep track of it that way.

Dave, we could do that !

Hey Jaro, jak se mas ? I am Czech too. Let's get together and have some pivo ! Ja jsem Radek.

Ohhh, that is beautiful country !

Some of you attended the last class we had, put on by my friend Colin. He covered a lot of general first aid in that one. I talked to him and he agreed to do another maybe in August or September. This time he'll do a more "hands on" approach and be more specific to injuries you might encounter on the trail. Would anyone like to offer their garage or whatever to host this class? I'm guessing we'd probably have 25 - 30 people again.

Congrats Padu ! Let's talk about if SDAR can be of any help.
