Riding and camping Northern California and beyond, since 1965!

    This year marks the 40th anniversary of the San Francisco Marathon, an iconic race that attracts 27,000 participants! Each year, the San Francisco Marathon reaches out to motorcycle riders across Northern California to serve as course monitors, for intersections and traffic guidance along the route, and for road closures.

    These monitors act as security for runners along the course, provide spectator crowd control, and minimize conflicts with public transit and/or vehicle traffic across the road closures. Each volunteer will be stationed at an intersection for approximately 4-6 hours, starting around 5am-6am on Sunday, July 23rd. As a thank you for your time, each volunteer will receive a 2017 San Francisco Marathon Course Monitor Pin as well as a donation of $90, which we want to donate to the MOA Foundation ("advancing rider safety, education and training”).

    Last year’s volunteers from our club had a great experience. We are hoping to recruit volunteers for various positions from the BMW NorCal members. For those who are interested, please sign up here by June 1, 2017. Instructions and materials regarding each assignment will be provided to each participant by Friday, June 9th.

    We made a change to the member meeting and campout schedule for January and February.  In January, we will be headed to Arroyo Seco in Greenfield, California.  In February, we will be in Bothe-Napa, just outside of Calistoga.  Events for these two months are correctly listed in the Events page of the website so register early and often and we hope to see you at both of these events in January and February!

    You are invited to join The BMW Club of Northern California!

     

    It's a new year and maybe time to do something new for yourself in 2017, yes?  On behalf of the 200+ members of The BMW Club of Northern California, we invite you to join our club!  There are several good reasons to become a member including the following:

    • Rides.  Once or twice a month one of our club members will lead you on an amazing and fantastic ride through some of the best roads in California.  You don't need to plan anything, just show up, load your GPS or follow the route sheet!
    • Save $.  We all like saving a few bucks.  As a member you'll get a $10 discount on our overnight camping trips so if you attend just a few meetings you are ahead of the game!
    • Members Only.  You'll be entitled to a few "members only" benefits including early event registration, online access to our directory of members and a cache of previous rides including GPS files and route sheets.
    • Learning.  The more you ride the more you learn!  In addition to improving riding skills and techniques, our members learn more about how to ride safely, about their motorcycles and how to camp and ride in groups.
    • Friendships.  Motorcyclists by nature tend to be independent.  Yet when you ride together, camp together and share your personal stories, you get to know each other and friendships form that may just last a lifetime!

    In addition to all these benefits you'll receive a new member packet containing a badge, pin, sticker and member directory, once you attend two monthly member meetings.  Membership is $30 a year (plus a $10 initiation fee.)  So take the plunge, do something for yourself in 2017, click on the link below and become a member of The BMW Club of Northern California!  If you have questions email John Vashon, Vice President, at vicepresident@bmwnorcal.org.  We hope to see you at an upcoming event very soon!
