Getting close!!!
Aye, UncleSpot, I’m of a like mind. Last years ride of 300 miles and 3 passes was great for bragging rights, but we did have a rider go down, at least in part due to fatigue. I’d like a less harried ride with lots of photo ops ( am I the only shutterbug?)
I must say, however, that the ride down into Nevada with that sweeping, downhill 70mph curve that seemed to go on forever is worth another ride! The bitch about being a biker/photographer, is when does one stop riding to take a photograph? Or say “screw the photo, this is a hell of a ride!”
One possibility would be to ride through Virginia City, and instead of riding into Reno, (sorry Matt, but “ho hum,”) head down to the lake and take in either the east or west shore. I think the west shore is a bit more colorful.
Yes, Matt, please, if I could crash (in a manner of speaking,) at your dad’s place, that would be super!
UNCLESPOT, I was only half joking about meeting at your place on Saturday morning/ or what ever.
If we don’t want to wait until mid afternoon to ride off with Pat, we could head North to meet Knewsome in Lodi, and let Pat catch up with us Sunday morning in Tahoe
I think meeting in Tahoe at Carrow’s Sunday morning 9:00 A.M. is the simplest plan. How we get there is another matter. I have faith that we can work out the details.

Just bought a 1980 Special that has been non oped for 9 years. My Skoot will rise from the ashes and be re named "The Phoenix!"
I'm in Los Alamos, NM at the moment, and it's dropping to the high 50's at night. This is 7,000', so I thought Tahoe should still be doable.
