Hi Guys
I am Owen from England and visiting Palm Spring 18 Oct 18 Nov and
staying with friends, Larry and Bruce. They are not bikers. I need to
fulfill my dream - to ride out in California. I am 52, single and seek
help or advice before I travel. I am hoping to meet for day trips out
with the intention of spending a week touring. I have no planned
itinary as to where to go - I just need to get out and explore with
some good company.

I am willing to cover all expenses for a tour guide or just meet to
chat and socialise. I intend to make my trip and annual event and can
host in the UK.

I can correspond via email, SKYPE and Messneger, and get free calls to
the US.

Hello Owen, I'm Bob Barnes, friends call me Colonel Bob.

I often ride with Desert Cruisers and another small group of buddies, usually on weekends since a lot of them work.  Being retired, i'm pretty available.  Do you have access to a bike here?  If know, there are Harley's for rent right at the Palm Springs Airport.  There are some great rides up into two different mountain ranges, one to Idyllwilde in the San Jacinto mountains, another up to Big Bear Lake and Lake Arrow Head in the San Berbnadinos.  Another is up through Joshua Tree National Park. And finally, one up the mountains then southeast and descending bak down to the desert valley in a big 5 1/2 hour to 6 hour loop.  We could probably pick up a couple guys to join in the weekdays and numerous on weekends.  Stay in touch as time nears.

Longer trips into LA or San Diego and the coast can be done, as well.

Hey Owen,

Glad to approve your membership to the Desert Cruisers Motorcycle Club
site on Google Groups!

Desert Cruisers MC is a web based social group - no dues, no rules,
just average guys that enjoy riding. Desert Cruisers was formed to
share information on rides and events in and around the Southern
California area. But it will be good to have you share your events
and information from across the pond...

Desert Cruisers MC welcomes riders and aficionados from all over. As
you know, October and November in Southern California offers some of
the very best riding conditions in the world!

Keep watching this site for information on upcoming rides, and let us
know your plans as you get ready to come to the Palm Springs area. We
can put together a ride or a day ride while you're here.

If you're looking into hiring a bike during your visit, the best place
to rent is from "EagleRider Motorcycle Rentals". EagleRider use to be
at the Palm Springs International Airport, but have relocated to:

EagleRider Palm Springs
(inside Desert Springs - JW Marriott Resort & Spa)
74855 Country Club Drive
Palm Desert, CA 92260
(877) 736-8243
website: http://www.eaglerider.com
email: p...@eaglerider.com

Their rates vary depending on the Motorcycle you choose, but they have
several models of Harley's and Honda's.

Looking forward to meeting up. Drop us a line if you have any
questions, and again, welcome to Desert Cruisers MC.
