Ride & Event Calendar - We Ride Every Other Week.
(For those wanting to ride every Sunday, Machu Picchu MC rides on the off weekends
and they meet next to Safeway. Their rides leave at 10am.)

All rides begin at 10:30 unless otherwise noted and go most of the day. If we're not there exactly at 10 a.m....wait a while, as our "Tourmaster" is running late, which is more often than not.

Average ride length, including ride to brunch destination: 100-150 miles. Longer rides can be up to 300 miles. Feel free to ride as long as you wish, but do let the tourmaster know if you'll be leaving early, so the ride doesn't have to stop while someone goes and looks for a breakdown machine or other problem.

Monday, December 25, 2006 - Merry Christmas and Happy Hannukah.
