As I was looking for when I’d normally post the thread on the forum about a certain ride during the ‘cold, brutal winters’ that are common in the Silver State, I’ve begun to second-guess this for this year. Read on a bit before making a decision.
Since I was a carrier of some sort of bug (apparently, medical science didn’t think it was our latest & greatest pandemic source…I say differently) at the last get-together, far be it from me to be the one that says “Hey, we’re gonna do this again!” and “Same time, same places”, as we’ve done for more than a decade now.
Just like nearly every other moto ride that had been postponed or flat-out canceled in 2020, it’s certainly looking quite probable that the beginning of 2021 isn’t a whole lot better. If you pay attention to the latest medical news on this topic (and you should as a member of this age group), things still aren’t looking so good. As far as I can tell, it’s not nearly as good as things were looking just a couple of months ago.
The ride I did in October, I did breeze thru Beatty, NV. At that time (again, I don’t think things have changed between now and then…) it’s like most everyplace else. No seating available at the Subway/ice cream place inside the candy store and I didn’t check the Denny’s. We stopped for lunch at Erick Schat's Bakkery in Bishop, as my wife wanted to go there. Only the outdoor tables were open. I truly don’t know about anywhere else in the region, as we continued northbound from there to Carson City and points beyond.
So, with that, that weekend is February 13th & 14th, 2021 (Sat & Sun). Big, big question mark for me at the moment, and quite possibly for you.
