2009 Rydther Rally – BARF in Hawthorne, Nevada
Photo by Mortifer
We are proud to announce our second annual Rydther Rally. Come on out and join us for three days of riding, sightseeing, and eating fun in the Sierra Nevada. What is all this about? It's about meeting new friends, and catching up with old ones. If you can only manage a hall pass for two days, no problem – book a room for Saturday, and ride out to the event’s dinner gathering that evening in Hawthorne. On Sunday, enjoy some company on your way home over the mountain passes. arty
Dates: September 25 ~ 27 (Fri., Sat., and Sun.)
Destination: Hawthorne, NV
Estimated 3-Day Mileage: 800~1,000 miles

Please note that this is not an organized or guided group-riding event. There are no officially designated leads or sweeps. This is a rally with pre-determined routes, common points-of-interest and destination for the participants. The official daily starting point and time are provided to allow the participants the greatest opportunity to enjoy the company of other BARFers and BARFettes along the way for the duration of the rally. Participants are free to band into groups of their own choosing, and at their own risk.

You are responsible for yourself
Riding a motorcycle is dangerous. You are responsible for your own safety. Proper riding gear, a valid CDL/M1, vehicle registration and proof of insurance are highly recommended. You are also responsible for the good operating condition of your motorcycle. The good condition includes general mechanical condition, as well as the condition of wear items such as chains and sprockets, brake pads, and tires. In short, you are the Captain of your own ship.
Always choose your riding partners carefully. You'll be covering long distances and traveling through relatively remote areas -- be sure that your riding partners and their bikes are legal and in good shape to ride. While this rally should be an opportunity to make friends and meet new people, you should also remain selective and wary of strangers who may or may not be competent riders, and may or may not maintain their motorcycles (or their license/registration) in a manner that will prove to be safe, reliable and hassle-free.
Expenses
You are responsible for your own expenses. Budget for lodging, park fee(s), gas, food, beverages, and anything you may need along the way accordingly.
