Welcome to the board.
Here in the Sac Valley we "try" to get out once a month or so. I think you could search the history of the CA thread and see what we've done. Started in Feb or Mar @ Berryessa, the Int'l Bike Show, Flyin' Low off 49, the lunch meet @ the Sequoias. In Aug we head North to Bellingham WA for Western FJR Owners meet, Sept 10th there'll be the annual Yosemite weekend....sooo much to do. Plus we post other local rides in here on a spur of the moment basis.
