mass run on the 18th
Our local middle-aged Harley- rider club (the Ghost Mountain Riders of Lompico,) host a "End of Summer" run every year that I have attended for the past several years. It is 90% Harley, but all riders are welcome. There was even a Vespa scooter rider from the Santa Cruz radical "Goth" club (The Vampires) who passed me on Hwy 9 at 60mph last year.
It starts at a Mexican restaurant/ bar near the intersection of Hwy 9 and Graham Hill Road in Felton CA. Cost $20 to ride. The mass ride usually runs "over the hill" (twisty, 45 mph max) to Hwy 1 near Davenport, then north on Hwy 1 ( 60- 70mph) for 30 miles or so (sorry, don't have my map out, can't remember the name of the town,) then inland to a biker friendly bar for hotdawgs and whatever. Riders are then on their own to the final stop. This final leg usually goes by the famous Alices Restaurant at the intersection of Hwy 35 (AKA Skyline Drive) and Woodside Road. On any weekend one can find a Vincent, a Gussy Falcon, a Boss Hog or two, Ducs, and exotica ad infinitum. From there to Hwy 9 at the summit, then down hill thru the Redwoods to Boulder Creek and a turn down Hwy 236 (AKA Big Basin Way) about 2-3 miles to Camp Krem..
Camp Krem is a summer camp for mentally handicapped kids. The Ghosties contribute the profits from the run to the camp in exchange for the right to party there for a couple of days. A BBQ dinner goes with the fee, and of course there is the usual hard-core adult biker entertainment.
I would really dig having one or two XSive riders show up to ride with. We can form an XS contingent! We can get our heads together on a West Coast Rally and swap lies about our rides!
Cost $20 per rider and ride starts around 10:00 A.M. from Don Quioties (or however the heck you spell it,) in Felton. Don't worry, just come to Felton and look for the bikes: you really can't miss it.
If you've never ridden with 700+ bikes and had the CHP stop traffic for you, you have missed out on a major thrill.
Hope to see someone there!
