It's on! Riders are already rolling into town. We'll see the rest of you soon.
We only plan a few tight "go" times on this run. It's mostly up to you to do what you want and entertain yourself. Here are a few times and places you may want to be aware of:
Wednesday, May 43:00 pm–6:00 pm: Biltwell Open House (free beer and tacos while supplies last)
25839 Jefferson Ave. Murrieta, CA 92562
7:00 pm–whenever: booze and grub at with the Molochs MC at Hard Hats Bar
27713 Jefferson Ave, Temecula, CA 92590
Best Western Country Inn is a good place to crash, right across the street from Hard Hats.
27706 Jefferson Ave, Temecula, CA 92590-2638 • (951) 676-7378
Thursday, May 58:00 am: kickstands up, throttles pinned from Denny's at Jefferson and Rancho California, Temecula. Penfold's Cafe is across the street, good breakfast there too. Gas station on the corner.
This does not mean "meet us for breakfast at eight," it means "gassed up and running." We will try to take it easy, but if you are slow, get in the back. We'll stop for gas and slow down for major turn-offs but you should go at your own pace and know the route. Link to map at the bottom of this post.12:00-1:00-ish: Lunch at Pizza Hut on Imperial in Calexico, right side of street, just before the border. No more than one hour here, then we go for it.
4:00 pm: Cash bar and taco stand opens at Ruben's Campo in San Felipe. Grub and booze will flow most of the night immediately upon our arrival at this San Felipe base camp. First $300 worth of beer is courtesy of Mike from 47 Industries and first $300 worth of tacos from James of 831 Enterprises. Be sure to thank these dudes!
