4/21 Point Reyes Peninsula Picnic + Bonus Lighthouse excursion

KSU 9:30 am
Route Map TBD [I failed to save my edit before the ride, but HERE’S THE ROUTE for posterity]
Point Reyes has much to offer. Today we start with a leisurely ride up Highway 1 to through the Lucas Valley to Point Reyes Station for coffee, then Inverness to take on provisions; this is the official end of the ride, or you can join the Road Captain on an expedition to the Southwesternmost point of the peninsula to visit the Point Reyes Lighthouse (bring a pair of comfortable shoes for the ~mile walk plus 626 stairs round trip or just sit in the grass and enjoy the view adjacent to the parking lot). The return trip is South along Highway 1 passes through redwoods on well paved West Marin back roads, with potential for a diversion to a twistier less traveled route, depending on the whim of the group.
*Points = If you can’t make the ride with us, take a selfie of you and your motorcycle with the wreck of the Point Reyes in the background (from the parking lot behind The Inverness Store)
- Thanks to the group for being flexible with game time reversal of proposed route

KSU 9:30 am
Link to Route Map
This is the Captain’s Ride - to obtain your points you must follow the Captain!! This is a longer, and at times, technical ride. bring your A game!
We start by slabbing it South a bit to get past the twisties that we typically ride, then as we approach Cupertino we turn Westward into the hills, past two reservoirs (one of which submerges a genuine California ghost town), before taking a break at Member Francois’ house. A quick gas stop is next, then burgers, fries, and shakes at Foster’s Freeze! With bellies and bikes all fueled up, we’re ready for more twisties behind UCSC and the most technical part of the ride, Jamison Creek Road. We link up with Good Ol’ Highway 9, then another brief stop at Member Clay’s house. The final stretch includes more technical narrow roads to our final destination, Portola Redwoods State Park.
*Points = Follow the road captain to Portola Redwoods State Park Visitor’s center

We are camping at Redwood Group Camp. You may forfeit points and meet us at the campsite. Bring your own everything. There is no propane, cash, WiFi, cell reception, or food in the park. The first 6 vehicles are free, but we will split the parking fee between all those who attend. Reservation fee is compliments of the Road Captain. Check out is 11:00 am Sunday. There is a proposed return route which you are free to join me for, or ride your own ride home.
