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 !
