We've had quite the winter here in our sunny (rainy) state.... it's wreaked havoc but also has created some amazing silver linings such as wildflower bloom... we'll head to Antelope Valley and Carrizon Plains to witness the spectacle (weather dependent of course!)

Please note: This ride is planned as a mellow "blow off the cobwebs" and "flower sniffing" - in other words, enjoying the world around us! The routes are rough drafts at the moment and may change as we get closer. You are welcome to ride with me or do your own thing and meet us at the hotel.

Ride Your Own Ride!

P.S. Ride is weather dependent.

Friday, Apr. 14
Meet @ Hollister *$ (1730 Airline Hwy)
Coffee @ 9am, KSU @ 10am Hollister to Cambria
Not a ton of miles but I imagine Hwy 25 will be beautiful and once we arrive in Cambria, if you want some more miles, scoot up Hwy 1 North as far as you can and then turn around and come back!

This weekend's paper had a pic and blurb about the big bloom coming up. Made me remember a RR you did a while back with some of your fantastic pictures. Here's hoping we're treated to a sequel.

 
Sounds amazing. I would have joined you but it is Easter weekend and have to be with family..

Post many blooming pictures please.
