Bigfish Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Many Riders heading home today. Hopefully they will check-in to this post and give a safe arrival report. Dennis and Carla made it home safe on Wednesday evening. Great ride south on the 58 and 33. Hot (110 degrees in Ventura) but after that section cooler weather returned. Great time and was fun meeting new peeps and seeing the usuals. Big thanks to Todd and Susan for putting this event together. Susan's wine tasting adventure to Paso Robles seemed like a popular excursion and people were excited... hope it all went well. Link to comment
CoarsegoldKid Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Thanks again Todd and Susan for sticking with the plan - moved up one year. Great to see many usual faces and a few new ones. Weather was a nice cool change for me. I made it home before noon and wondered if it was a mistake to leave. Maybe I should have stayed on the coast. Link to comment
mrduck Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 In about 2….Some truly excellent riding in the area with great company to be around! Led a back road ride south to Avila beach, and just had to include a bit of dirt road , but the ice cream was worth the trip! Big thanks to Todd for sticking with this and making it happen! See ya in Torrey 1 Link to comment
Traveler1 Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Home safe - great ride up the coast on Hwy 1 until I got to Carmel where the traffic started. Lane splitting (where I could) all the way home from there on. Great UN. Thanks Todd and Susan. Here's a shot from high up on Santa Rosa Creek road after Long John convinced me it was worth the ride just to get a good view. He was right. 2 Link to comment
BrianT Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Home safe at 2:30. Only heat and lane splitting was on the 405 in WLA. Otherwise beautiful ride home. Todd and Susan, thanks for another awesome UN. Great location, great roads, great people. Can’t ask for more! Link to comment
eddd Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 In about 3:00 after uneventful ride home. I admit I shed a few tears as I drove through Barstow imagining what could have been. As always I enjoyed the opportunity to spend quality time with friends. Susan and Todd did a great job. Thanks for all the hard work. 1 Link to comment
RT Russ Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Home around 3:45. 104 and heavy commute traffic through Sunol Valley. Split lanes for quite a while. 89 degrees at home 😁 Had a great time. Thanks Todd and Susan. Link to comment
C_Williams Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 A big thanks to Todd and Susan for making this a truly memorable Un I had such a wonderful time Highest temp on the way home 103 Evan splitting lanes 30 miles from Pasadena to home could not dampen my spirit Link to comment
longjohn Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 In. 103°in the SFV, and 75° at home. Yay. Thanks to Todd and Susan more Santa Rosa Creek Road Link to comment
Beagler Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Thank you Todd and Susan for a great event. Love the location. Cambria Pines Lodge was such a nice venue. Made it home about 2:30. Luckily before it got too hot. Link to comment
graydude Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 In about 5:30. Absolutely miserable ride. Had to split lanes from Barstow to past Baker. Rain, heat, grasshoppers etc... But nothing could diminish our good time in Cambria. Weather, riding and most importantly, the company were top notch. You guys definitely missed out. The lodge did a great job! It was said before. We were a small group but enthusiastic! I will mail the rally shirts to those who ordered one. 1 Link to comment
Mike Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 It ain’t the quantity, it’s the quality. Kudos to you for hanging in there and hosting through what has been absolutely the most challenging time ever for hosting one of these events. Cambria and the surrounding area are truly special, and I hope to get out there on two wheels sometime soon. As an old-timer here at BMWST, I know that these things involve a lot of work, a bit of anxiety, and many rewards. Your support of our unique online community in hosting was a great contribution to our legacy. Link to comment
Groanup Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Home at 3:30 or so yesterday. Then I passed out till this morning. HUGE thanks to Todd and Susan for putting this together and keeping it going through challenging times. Great venue! Spectacular area for riding! (aside from Santa Rosa Creek road ) 1 Link to comment
Motobiker Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Christina and I made it home on Saturday about noon or so. It was a very hot ride but well worth the trip. I enjoyed meeting new people and remeeting some of those that were at Weaverville in 2019. Thank you Todd an Susan for putting on such a wonderful event. Link to comment
Dennis Andress Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Home. Good ride up the coast, most of which I want to do again. @RT Russ is the new Energizer Bunny, the dude never stops! After three hours of following him I gave up on finding a gas station - my bike said it had four miles of gas left - and did a quick u-turn into a Cal Fire station. They gave me a gallon of gas! 1 Link to comment

Crazy_Canuck Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 It was great to see old riding buddies and meet new ones. Had a great time! Sorry I had to leave early on Thursday to attend my wife's sisters funeral Friday morning. Stay safe Rob Link to comment
Red Racer Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Amy and I got home yesterday about 5:00. We ended up at 5500 miles for this trip. Not ready to get back on the bikes anytime soon. We enjoyed seeing people we knew and getting introduced to a few new ones. Glad everyone made it home in good shape! Hope to see you in the future! 4 Link to comment

RT Russ Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 I finally got some time to work on videos from the UNRally. I posted 3 of them to YouTube........ 1st group ride Part 1, the inland portion of the days ride 1st Group Ride Part II Part II, the Coastal portion 2nd Group Ride Avila Beach and Taco Temple, good times. Yeah, yeah, yeah.......some clips in the videos may be out of order. I'm old and forgetful That and I did some of the cuts on my iPad and some on the laptop so things got a bit confusing at times. Next project on my to do list is the Energizer Bunny portion where I tried to strand Dennis in the Boonies after Parkfield. Russ 3 1 1 Link to comment
RT Russ Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 As promised......or warned, here is the video of the ride to Parkfield and then on toward Hollister. Dennis and I split in Fremont as he was headed to Thor's in Marin while I headed up I-680 toward home. I like that Parkfield ride Dennis......not so much Linky YouTube video 1 Link to comment
