A day ride from Quincy up to Tahoe on 89, down Mt Rose Hwy to Virginia City for Lunch, down the "Truck Route" to Carson then up Kingsbury Grade to Hwy 50 to Hwy 28 (or 89 for the long way around Tahoe) and back to 89 would not be a disappointing ride for some
Maybe we need a Chrysler that seats about 20.That said, it would be quite the precursor to the hot tub room pillow fight.

Sounds like fun! Not sure I can keep up though
You can ride your own pace. Or you'll find a sub-group that matches your pace,
It IS really fun! As long as you like meeting cool new people.
I'm not doing nooby-duty again.
It is Jason. But I think Tom is coming in via the southern passes on Friday and will therefore be driving by me then
Whoa, whoa, whoa!!!
First, none of the suggested routes have been published yet, and they will be published in the participant package that will come out much closer to the rally date.
Second, I will leading long routes on both Friday and Sunday and my routes are shorter than what you're imagining.
Third, the suggested routes are just that, suggested. If one wishes to take the most direct route from where I live to Quincy they would be riding ~200 miles, not 500.
It is important for folks to enter into a ride like this prepared, and to understand that one rides at one's own risk, but let's not make this thing bigger than it is. We have had lots of new riders come on prior rallies and do just fine. The appropriate caveats are already listed in Tom's OP. No need to frighten people.
I might take 49 to 89 to Quincy for the meet up/go home. I rode 89 to 49 home from tahoe this summer and it was one of my best rides ever....gorgeous twisty roads!
