We're going to Solvang! I just decided to stop feeling sorry for myself and get with the program. I can't do the mountain roads with the Corvette guys, but we can meet up with them and visit before they roll, catch up with them again in Solvang for lunch, do the Hitching Post for dinner and Anderson's Split Pea Soup for breakfast. I'll try to really take it easy and Norco is my friend. "There's a killer on the road. His brain is squirming like a toad (opiods). Take a long holiday. Let your children play."

Both you guys might want to consider a less adventuresome lifestyle. Of course it's probably too late for that, what?

Or at least change their screen names to Accident Prone #1 and #2.

Well, as for me, I had only one accident after thirty-five + years of cycling all over the US and Europe. As Lyle Lovett says, "Once Was Enough". And yeah, I was lying prone!

But, hey, this ain't my thread. I'm an unintended interloper. And The Raptor is hurting! Ouch!

Way too late. Who was that who said "...that would be like putting lipstick on a pig?"

Solvang was great! I decided to stop feeling sorry for myself. We ended meeting up with the Corvette guys on Saturday morning in Porter Ranch, we just didn't drive with them. We took Big Red up separately and met them on the other end for lunch. We did have a nice dinner at the Hitching Post, so all we really missed was the "spirited" ride up there with the guys. Solvang was very hot. The rides along the coast up and back were nice, at times quite foggy

The best thing to do in Solvang is on Wednesday, June 21, 2017. Check out the MGA national car show at the Mission Santa Ynez next to the Hotel Corque from 10.00am – 3.00pm.
