Groanup Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 The Friday "Tehachapi to Oakhurst" ride is on once again this year. The plan is to meet either in Lancaster at the Starbuck's on Avenue I at 8 am, or at the (Shell?) gas station North of hwy 58 at the Mills street exit, in Tehachapi between 9 and 9:30 am. The route to Porterville is the same as last year. Lunch will be at Jenny Lynn's on Plano street. We expect to arrive in Porterville by noon. After lunch, we've planned a shorter route than previous years for those who don't want to arrive exhausted in Oakhurst. It cuts about 1.5 hours from the trip. If you would like to ride last years route anyway (or any other route you choose), You are certainly welcome to. I'm attaching the route to Porterville, plus both after lunch routes as gpx files. You will need to import the files into Basecamp to use them. Please let me know if you have any problems with them. Also, a count of who's "in" would be helpful so we can give Jenny Lynn's a heads up.

Rob Nowell Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 yeah, what Carl said.........I hurt my shoulder last Friday, and am hoping it's not serious (feels like rotator cuff, which I've had fixed twice on the other shoulder). If I can ride, I'll be there. 2 Link to comment

BrianT Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 Tehachapi might get a little interesting with snow showers forecasted for us in the morning. Let the Adventure begin! 1 1 Link to comment
Bigfish Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Is the Group from Lancaster going to stop at Texaco Gas Station in Tehachapi? Usually there around 9-9:30? If you guys are not stopping there, we will try and cross paths along the route and at least meet up in Porterville. Looks like a possibly wet day for Friday but the weekend looks promising.

It's across from the Holiday Inn Express off the Mills exit, north of 58. Link to comment
Bigfish Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Thanks Don. Excellent- See you kids on Friday Morning in Tehachapi. Link to comment
Bigfish Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Don, I successfully uploaded the GPX files and transferred onto my Garmin GPS via Basecamp. Now they reside on the Trip Planner App. on my Zumo 590. Not getting lost on this trip :-) Thanks for your effort to create these. -ds 1 Link to comment
