49’er Rally Anyone?

With the rally approaching over Memorial Day weekend (5/25-29), in Mariposa, CA, at the fairgrounds, just sending out an invitation to attend. It’s a good rally, well done and a good place to spend the holiday weekend. Sponsored by NorCal BMW Club. Check it out.

I'll be there. Heading up with my FIL on Friday 5/26.

I attended years ago and remember camping in a covered stock pen. It was a good rally but there were some tense moments at registration as I showed up (from Minnesota) on a Gold Wing and required a “sponsor” to get in. Luckily MOA president Keith Dempster was there to “vouch” for me and I pretty much kept the Wing out of sight that weekend while on the grounds. Hopefully that requirement has been relaxed a bit.

There are some great roads around there. Old Priest Road north of Mariposa was especially memorable!

A lot of good roads between here and there. I’ll be on the road in the morning.

As many times as I’ve attended, I tend to “get lost”, on the way. In the past, I’ve headed north to travel south including several times over the N Cascade Highway across the sound, around the Olympic Peninsula, down the WA, OR, N CA, coasts, through Napa Valley and down through the gold rush country, to the rally.

Paid my registration last month. Now if my knees and back agree, I’ll be heading there on Thursday. Look for the Marakesh Red K75S.
