Local Rides

So you want to take a break from the rally and hop on your bike? You are in the perfect spot to explore outstanding motorclcye rides in the Tahoe, Plumas, Lassen and Shasta-Trinity National Forest!  We offer great self guided road and GS routes for you to explore. New this year are paper routes as well as a GPS loading station for GPX files as well as Rever routes that highlight the best roads in Northern California.  Find a friend and head out on a ride. 

Great Speakers & Vendors

We are building a great line up of presentations on great topics including motorcycle maintenance, trip planning and of course the latest and best gear.  We will update the website as speakers are confirmed. If you have a presentation to give, let us know 

Skills and Competitions

Build foundational road riding skills with our Asphalt Skills course.  The focus is on basic skills so this is not a competition.  

Show off your technical skills (or not) by negotiating the English Trials course.  This event tests riders' skill and balance as they navigate a super-slow course in the shortest time with the fewest foot dabs.  Prizes for the quickest time and biggest crashes.  

Or step it up to the big boy league by conquering Dennis Godwin's GS Challenge course.  This one requires some serious bike control in precarious situations.  If you are not up to riding the course you must come watch the action!

 

BMW Norcal is proud to offer our participants an outstanding training experience with Rawhyde.  Rawhyde is bringing their A game to the rally to help you become the best rider you can.  Rawhyde will be offering a beginner and intermediate session each day followed by a guided off road adventure to put your new skills to good use. 

We will be announcing the courses soon.  

Daily Events

There is plenty to day with daily activities to keep you busy.

There will be an informal rider gathering each morning to organize group rides for the poker runs and local sightseeing.

Ladies don't miss the womens-only reception on Friday evening.  Details will be available at registration/check in.  

Ride an Airhead? This year look for a beefed up Airhead presence as the Airheads Beemer Club will be moving in to Airhead Central. Bring your airhead or just questions, there's always some sort of airhead clinic or repair going on.
