There was such a great response to the First Annual BARF Rydther Rally in Hawthorne in September, we decided to add a spring rally to the calendar too.

We are proud to announce the second BARF rally, and the first BARF Spring Rally – 2009 - Central Coast.

Dates & Lodging

Dates: June 5 ~ 7 (Fri., Sat., and Sun.)
Destination: Big Sur, Paso Robles, the Central Coast
Estimated 3-Day Mileage: 800+ miles

Rally itineraries and details (meeting time/location, routes, and more) will be PM'd to participants, 5/25. If you don't receive one by the morning of 5/26, please contact flying_hun.

(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.

What’s a Rally?
This is not an organized or guided group-riding event. There are no designated leads or sweeps. This is a rally with pre-determined routes, common points-of-interest and destination for the participants. The 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 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.

Expenses
You are responsible for your own expenses. Budget for lodging, entrance fee(s), gas, food, beverages, and anything you may need along the way accordingly.

Great tip, George.

Thanks,
 
Is this going to be one of those pie rides? :twofinger

The ride is what you make it, baby! :cool

:laughing

Yeah, yeah, we'll find you some pie, and place at the end of a long, nasty goat trail. Just for you, Chris. :p Maybe we'll even get unkeldunkel to ride up there with you on his fizzer. :party
 
Definitely up for doing this again. Count me in.

Great! The SouthBay crowd seemed to have great fun and the best fotos last time. :party


There's a rumor going around that since you took one for the team last time, that this time you're home free! :burnout :ride :laughing

YAY!! I am IN! :party :ride

Round up the rest of that crew, and we'll advise the local drinking establishments to stock up on Patron! :banana
 
Any camping places around there? Nothing like sleeping under the stars next to your horse (bike) to start Summer off right. Either way, its a go.

Shay, put your dam baffles in for this run!
 
DOH! Wife's B-Day is that weekend.

She owes me though (I hope) :D

I don't know, but check it out and see if there is something nearby. Others may want to join you in that.

You missed out in September, George. :| I think you're due. :x
