Welcome aboard for the Chaparral Riders Great Western Divide, River Kern ride.

This will be a 2 night stay where we leave on Friday night, ride the Sequoia National Forest on Saturday, and then come back home on Sunday.

Welcome to Lake Isabella, heart of the Kern River Valley, California's best kept secret.

Hotel accommodations can be reserved at:

Lake Isabella Motel

400 California 155, Lake Isabella, CA 93240

(760) 379-2800

Rate is $62.00 per night

OR

Camping at one of over a dozen campsites. 

Full amenities on most.

We will leave on Friday, May 13th (Uh Oh), at either Noon, or at 6:00 PM, or have 2 separate groups.  It is a 3 to 4 hour ride to Lake Isabella using North 15, North 395 route.  I would suggest leaving at noon as leaving towards the evening will place the group into darkness while riding.  Lots of critters can be dangerous, particularly with a larger group or riders.

More details of actual staging location will come.  The return trip will not be scheduled and will be casual; no need to hurry.

This is an open ride to Chaparral Members and their guests.

 

Attractions

We will have plenty of riding on Saturday.  The projected ride map (subject to change at any notice, including possible U-turns)
