      I don’t know if Rick uploaded the “history” folder to the website, but if he did, there are some photos of past awards. You can file this under the category of “mildly interesting”.

        Made it to the rally! A grueling 350 mile ride! If you haven’t left yet, you should stay home. All the good spots are taken. Oh yeah, the weather is terrible, too.

            Yes, I am Karl. It’s been a long time.

            See you there!

                Ride safe on Sherman Pass, Karl. Every time I’ve been on that road, it’s been pretty treacherous (gravel, deer, slow moving vehicles). However, the view from the top as well as 9 mile canyon (!) are worth it.

                  When you register for the rally, be sure to put down SCBMWRC as your affiliated club. We might win the attendance award. It’s happened before. If you’ve already pre-registered, at check in find the Rally Master and tell him/her that you want to add club affiliation to your application.

                  See you there! I’m already packed!

                    Rain or no rain, it doesn’t look like it will break 60 degrees.

                    Unless the front re-routes, I’m out.

                      I thought we HAD a good membership chair! Good, not great. LOL

                        I plan to be there if it’s not raining. Can’t make the meetup spot by 8:30 (I have to drop Paris off at Play Group), but I’ll try to be at the restaurant before 10 am.

                        See you there!

                          Hi, Mike!
                          Right now, the route is tentative, but I’m planning to spend Tuesday night in Bishop, Wednesday night in Ely reaching the rally around mid day on Thursday. Not firm on camping or moteling on the way. This is not an Iron Butt route, but definitely avoids the Interstate.

                            I’m planning on going. Camping, of course. If I can get the time off, I’ll leave Tuesday arriving mid-day Thursday and avoiding I-15 altogether.

                                  Yikes! Too pricey for me! I would rather take my chances. What could possibly go wrong?

                                      Perhaps we should slow down a bit, at least for a while

                                      Are you serious, Bikram?

                                        Karl – I think there is one change that would provide immediate and dramatic results: Return Bill Reitz to the role of Ride Captain for the day rides. While he was Ride Captain, there were never any performance awards or accidents AFAIK. To placate the hoons in the club, the club could organize a couple of track days (paid for by the participants, of course) so they can get their speed fix. Something more needs to be done because, apparently, the efforts to organize Street Masters and other safety related efforts are not reaching as far nor as fast as they should.

                                        It appears someone deleted my original post.

                                        Thank you,
