August 27-29, 2010 - The Boulder & Beautiful Ride.

Rally Point & Time: TBD

Book a 2 night stay at the Boulder Lodge, in June Lake, CA.

The lodge overlooks June Lake and offers numerous riding (and fishing) opportunities on the many roads running into and around the eastern Sierras.

If this ride hits your fancy, better make your lodging reservations ASAP, and tell them you're with the EXR Group. They don't accept credit cards, so you'll have to mail a check with 2 weeks of making your reservation. 30 day cancellation policy.

September 22-26, 2010 - Lasso Kanab.

Rally Point & Time: TBD

This five day loooong weekend ride will run a 1400 mile asphalt lasso around Kanab, UT, home of Little Hollywood, Best Friends Animal Sanctuary, Denny’s Wigwam Curio shop, and the Rewind Diner featuring the finest coconut cream pie ever tasted!

Day one will take us over the Sierras and east on US 50, “The Loneliest Highway in America,” with a stop at the Best Western in Eureka, NV (for one night, the 22nd).

Next morning we’re off to Great Basin National Park for a tour of the Lehman Caves.  After that, we’ll hightail it southeast into Utah and down to Kanab to a two night stay (23rd & 24th) at the brand new Holiday Inn Express.

Did we mention the Rewind Diner yet?  You know they specialize in chicken fried steak with homemade gravy that Grandpa makes every morning.  The Rewind is right next door to the largest Indian curio shop you’ll ever hope to see, Denny’s Wigwam.  They call Kanab “Little Hollywood” because it used to be a very popular area to film western movies and especially western TV shows.  The town has monuments to the various stars every 50 feet or so along their main thoroughfares.  Friday is open to the activities or riding that suits your fancy.  You can visit the Best Friends Animal Sanctuary and/or volunteer for the day working with the animals.  This needs to be set up in advance.  Or, you can ride south to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon.

Saturday the 25th, we pack up and head west following familiar routes like the Extraterrestrial Highway, on our way to our final stay for this trip, Best Western Hi Desert in Tonapah, NV.

All three venues are reasonably priced, have great food within walking distance, and also have whirlpools.  Get booked today and we’ll work out the reservations for the Lehman Caves and Best Friends once we know who alls coming along for the ride!

October 15-17, 2010 - The Silver Lining of Virginia City.

Rally Point & Time: 0900 at the Starbuck’s in Martell.  TFBECO at 0930.

Ride over the Sierras to a lunch spot around Lake Tahoe.  Then on to Virginia City for a leisurely afternoon of swimming, soaking, napping, training riding, or venturing out to the main drag for rustic exploring and shopping. 

We will be staying at the well appointed Silverland Inn and Suites as we did last year.  A block of king, non-smoking rooms has been reserved at $79.00 per night.  This venue has a pool and spa plus includes breakfast each morning (group code: CGBIKES).

Friday night will be a non-group dinner so you can venture out on your own or in groups as you see fit to sample the local fare at any of the many establishments available.  Keep in mind, Virginia City has no liquor stores so if you’d like something back at the room it’s best to bring it with you or pick it up just before we head up the hill on Friday (or send Hoss on a beer run).

Saturday is set aside for taking in all that is Virginia City.  You can relax and sleep in late, shop at your own pace, take a ride in the country, head out to Carson City or Reno, get up early and do an SS1000 to Cedar City and back, or pretty much whatever strikes your fancy.

Dinner Saturday will be at a club favorite: the Casa Del Rio, at 17:30. Don't forget - this is a cash only restaurant, and they do not do split checks!

After dinner we’ll return to the Lionbar set up in the hotel breakfast room to present your annual awards and reminisce about the 2010 riding season while we start to plan 2011.

Sunday morning good-byes, and individual rides home along your favorite route.
