04/06/2023 - HOTEL RESERVATION UPDATE:

After months of back and forth via phone and email, I FINALLY was able to acquire a group room rate and block for our event. If you booked through a third party website (i.e. hotels.com, etc.), you'll need to book your room via the link below and then cancel your other booking. If you booked directly through the hotel, please call them and tell them you're with our group and they will give you the group rate. Please let me know if you have any issues with any of this.

First go to this link and book your room:

https://www.wyndhamhotels.com/super...3&checkOutDate=06/18/2023&groupCode=061523TRM
The group code is 061523TRM if you need it. Cancel your original third party reservation after you have made your booking with the link. The group rate saved me over $120 for the three nights so I think it's a pretty good deal.


----------------------------------------

After weeks and hours of emails and phone calls and every hotel asking me to sign a contract and put my personal credit card down for any rooms that wouldn't be booked on the room block, I've decided that the easiest thing to do is choose a hotel and let y'all make your own reservations.

Here is the hotel info where I've booked for what is the most reasonably priced hotel in the area with decent reviews. Sure would like to have you all join me there to tell tall tales in the parking lot and such frivolity. No room block or secret code for our group. Just make your own reservation. This will be gathering central although you are welcome to find something else if you are so inclined. Be sure to do your due diligence on less expensive hotels as there are issues at some of them. I would encourage you to make your reservations ASAP as the hotel will fill up quickly for that time of year. You can always cancel.

If you like to sleep on the ground out in the elements, here are a few campgrounds nearby:

Pomo RV & Camping 2 mi
Woodside RV Park 1.8 mi
Hidden Pines RV & Campground 1.1 mi

I'll work on finding a restaurant for a group dinner on Saturday night and also put together some very tasty routes that will definitely put some (s)miles on you and your bike! Look forward to seeing anyone and everyone in June 2023!

Just putting a placeholder here as I'm in the throes of putting together a western gathering in beautiful Fort Bragg, CA. YFO was just too expensive in the area and the chance for fires/smoke is pretty dang high. Cool temps, beautiful roads, and less chance of wildfires.

Anyhoodles, hoping to have some hotel info and specific dates soon and will update this post accordingly. You have been forewarned! ;)
Tyler, count me in. I'm in Sebastopol Sonoma County.
Sacramento Mike you are weird. But aren't we all....
 
Remember me?
I will ponder this...
Now that I am "self directed" there may be a route there from Carson City.
 
Currently in discussion with a hotel and trying to get a date and room block nailed down... likely will be mid-June... as soon as I know, you'll know!! ;)
Hey!
Newish member from Crescent City here. Might consider including any tent camping options. I know June can be iffy ☔️, but I’ve always enjoyed camping off the bike!
Thanks for your work on this 👍.
