It really does start with Freddo. Hawthorne is the original BARF Rally, named for Bill "Rydther" Lockwood. We go there every year. The other rallies float, but Hawthorne is an institution. It's fun. It's cheap. There's lots of food, lots of drink, lots of time in the pool, and lots of road. And as Jason said, they like us there. :teeth Hawthorne has to be experienced to be understood. It's hot, it's dirty, it's windy, and it's perfect.

That's why Hawthorne.
So, new to this, is this a seek the twisties kind of ride, or is this an iron butt slabbin' it kinda deal? Seems like a lot of hwy btw here and NV?
 
All up in this like a bicycle with no seat, yo.

It's really whatever you make of it. The last leg to Hawthorne is slab, but pretty much most of everything before it is twisty. The cut through Yosemite or the Sierras will be winding and so scenic your heart may explode, but you do not want it to end.

This is just one of the routes that takes you there. Or this one

The folks that show are seriously some of the cheekiest ding-dongs I know.

:party

Its fun Richard. Did it the last 2 years.

We get good twisties coming and going home, and not so much of it in Nevada.

But worth going.

Karbon nailed it pretty well. The last segment into Hawthorne is pretty straight, but you'll be glad you brought your S1RR. :party

Actually, there are some rocking sweepers out in Nevada headed down towards Benton. :ride You haven't really lived until you've slurped up a popsicle, standing in a little wedge of shade with your fellow BARFers in Benton. :laughing Then there's the rollercoaster. ;)

Nothing says romance quite like a long weekend at the El Cap. :toothless
 
Don't worry, you'll sweat it all out riding home across the valley. :party

Something about 50 miles of desolate, straight Nevada road, and g-forces...but the alcohol will be pulled out of your body. :)

I suppose there is a meet up here in bay area early Friday, and group ride heading out...?

Rick will be sending out a participants package to all the registered participants prior to the event. That package will contain all the relevant details regarding the start place, time, routes, etc.
