California to British Columbia Rally
June 29 - July 8
See below for the overall plan and specific stops for each day.
Can't make the entire rally meet us in the evening at one of the stops near you

This could be the CBX ride of a lifetime. Coast to Coast through the most beautiful scenery the United States has to offer. Yupppp.... Southern California to British Columbia. Ride the entire event or simply join in one of the rally stopping places near you. This is indeed ICOA and CBXer history.

Tony MacNeil is having his rally July 7/8 in Canada. The weekend before the 4th will be a gathering in San Diego. That week we will have a casual ride from San Diego to Canada, seeing the sites, exploring the back-roads, endangering small woodland creatures with extinction if they get in our way. You wouldn't believe the variety of roads, terrain, and scenery on this little ride. The route will stay off the interstates and on the 2 lane highways. My goal now is to plan the route. The stops will be close to interstates.

SCHEDULE & HOTEL STOPs
Can't make the entire rally meet us in the evening at one of the stops near you

Here are web sites for the hotels we're staying at. The last one is in Enumclaw, WA. It's in the shadows of Mount Ranier. We can stay there or go into BC. I figure we can make that decision when we get to Grants Pass. As far as the route planned, We'll check the weather on a daily basis before leaving and take either the shortest distance (rainy days) or the scenic route.

June 29/30: Friday & Saturday

Take photos of George in his speedo. The V12 CBX may be there also. Go for rides. The aerospace and automotive museum at Balboa Park.

Phone the Kuskanax Lodge at 1-800- 663-0100 for reservations. Mention the CBX Club for the group rates as follows:2 dbl beds $79.95 CDN./night

Reserve ASAP as the town of Nakusp is well known as a destination for groups and clubs. The BMW, Laverda, Honda DOHC and Harley Owners Clubs have all hosted rallies there. The roads are tasty and twisty, the mountain scenery spectacular, and the locals very friendly. Enjoy a small town BC experience. The OKeefe Ranch Vintage Bike Show is held the same weekend in Vernon about 75 miles away over the #1 rated Monashee Pass Highway. Ainsworth Hot Springs are also close by.

See http://www.kuskanax.kootenays.com/ for details on the Lodge and Nakusp.

There will be group rides and a banquet meal both nights. Last year we had CBX'rs from BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Washington state. This area is PRIME riding country. See you there.

Better be someone with a lead foot.

If it's my Jeep with a trailer, the speed limit for a vehicle towing a trailer is 55 in CA and I believe the same in OR.

ssssssssssoooooooooooooo i guess kaye would be driving the chase truck? vikki wants to know if she can hitch a ride?

cbxtacy · Post by **cbxtacy** » Fri Dec 29, 2006 1:39 pm

Kaye might have to work. Vikki can surely hitch a ride, My trailer holds 4 bikes (but only 3 CBX's, wonder why(maybe that's what Kaye means when she says bigger is better))? I have 6 months to figure that out. Right now I'm concentrating on 3 area's:

1: Things to do in San Diego

2: Route's

3: Places to stay

dan1995 · Post by **dan1995** » Fri Dec 29, 2006 3:37 pm

A link to Alices in case you want breakfast about 35 miles from Brookdale instead of SF. Right at the 35/84 junction, taking 9 north from Brookdale.
