You all remember the NorCal 2-day Motard Ride from a couple months back... well, the sequel is here!
What's in store? We're going to start at Starbucks in Windsor at 9:00AM on April 19th. We're sleeping in Ukiah that night. The hotel reservation will be made on your own, or you can group it up like we did last time. As the date gets closer, I will post up the hotel most of us will be staying at. We're ending the ride, at my place in Windsor sometime in the early evening on the 20th.
The route is complex, with the first day being less miles (170+) than the second day (230+). The first day has harder roads and will be slower-going and involve some "exploring" to complete our task. The second day will be "less exciting" and be more oriented towards stunning views, split up with fantastic goat-roads and food. I should note that the second day will start off with a trek through the ATV park at Cow Mountain.
Is there dirt? Yes, no mud like Sherwood Road from last time. We have two roads that are basically fire-roads, one of which gets a little nastier but pending weather it should be dry. Cow Mountain is only as muddy and dirty as you wish it to be.
Day 1:
Day 2:
So far I'm sure the regular players are in. I'm intending on keeping this ride relatively small, not that I think it'll be an issue because of the difficulty of the ride itself. Lets try to keep it under 15 riders total, ok? Remember, I can house three or four people the night before if you choose to crash at my place. The "norcal ride regulars" get first dibs.
If you're interested, post up and I'll give you the Google Maps link and we'll consider you in!
Remember to bring all necessary shit with you. Gas shouldn't be an issue, but if you can carry extra gas, do it. I will be. Bring extra tubes and patch kits, tire irons are a plus but we shouldn't be to far from a service station if need be. Make sure your bike is running properly and ready to get beat to shit.
See you all there!

Okay guys, we're full!
The only other people we'll be allowing are people who have contacted me already regarding "maybe" being able to go. I need to keep this below 15 people.
I'll post up with what hotel I / a lot of us are staying at sometime before next weekend. Glad everyone's going!!!
UPDATE*************************
The hotel information is on the last page (or second to last depending how many more posts we have). In short, it's the Comfort Inn & Suites in Ukiah, CA! I've booked two rooms for a couple of us, the rest of you need to book it ASAP!
MEETING PLACE
You have two options:
If you need to UNLOAD your bike (I.E., you have a truck, you should meet at my house. You wont want to park at Starbucks for 2 days)
1) Meet at my house at 8:00AM Saturday sharp (leave at 8:30AM). If you choose this, PM ME TO GET THE ADDRESS. If you need to crash the night before, I have room for 1 more so you're welcome to PM me and ask.
2) Meet at Starbucks in downtown Windsor. You need to be here no later at 8:45AM as we are leaving at 9:00AM sharp. The address is: 1001 McCleland Dr (Windsor CA, 95492). Do not meet here if you need to unload your bike as there's no long-term parking.
