Events Disclaimer:First, my apology/shout out to Jim C. He hit the C&C in Huntington Beach last Sunday and it was empty.

COVID has been killing events. Often at the last minute.While I'm posting events here and on iDriveSoCal's events page - I'm not running them.So, I promise to give accurate, up-to-date info. But check directly with organizers if you want to be 100% certain an event is happening.  Or, just get out there and enjoy a sweet SoCal ride to and from. :0)  But I get it, super-annoying when something is canceled.  Sorry, Jim!
