Big basin will be the closest to us and our end spot.

I'm heading down to SC now, just in half moon bay.
Anyone having early dinner in SC

I always seem to learn so much about my family, myself, and my bike on the Dark Rides. Seriously maybe my favorite ride of the year.

Vicky posted this on Facebook and I totally feel the same:

"I had an awesome ride at the Vampires MC Dark Ride yesterday. It is always a learning experience! Not a lot of riders would attempt to ride fast through the twisties in the evening. It was pitch black, and we had only the tail lights infront of us to follow. You have no choice but to learn to "let go" and trust yourself, your riding skills, your bike's capabilities, and your friends and Vampire brothers & sisters riding skills that you are following. After you have come to accept this resignation, it is hard to explain but... You get this sense of "peace" afterwards... At least for me! DAMN! "

-Could not agree more^^^
I thought the Hooligan ride was *fun* but this Dark Ride was down right scary fun. Learned so much about instinct.. Thanks again for the invite!
