The 2009 Songdog Ride

May 1-3, 2009

The S. F. Northstars Motorcycle Club & Friends

We are going to Songdog the first weekend in May.  Ride in on Friday and camp for two nights.  Friday will be the tri-tip dinner, and Saturday will be the Songdog stew and fresh baked bread.  Breakfast both mornings included also.  Many great So-Cal. riding options are available on Saturday.  Hwy-33 south to Ojai is a sweet piece of heaven.  You can ride the canyon roads above Malibu and have lunch at the Rock Store on Mulholland Drive.  There are some fun paved and adventure loops through the mountains.  Also dirtbike riding in the Ballinger Canyon OHV area just past camp.

As with our private Songdog events in the past, we will define a shooting area behind the lodge.  Bring your guns and ear plugs for a little target practice before dinner each evening.  There will be an ice chest stocked with sodas & beers with a donation jar on top.  Most Songdoggies bring their favorite Tequila or two!  Remember, TWO nights!

Camping Information

The rustic lodge will be available for those who wish to be indoors.  4"-thick sleeping pads (included w reg. fee, while supplies last!) will be available on a first registered, first served basis.  Bring your own sleeping bags and tents.

The outhouse is to the left of the lodge with a great view.  There is a small room in the lodge with a cold-water-only shower.  Large pots, running cold water, and a propane range are in the kitchen area for those who prefer to clean up with warm water.  Bring your toiletries, washcloth, & a towel.

Since our group size (guessing 15, ~like last year) is less than their 20-25 minimum, we can't get a price reduction for anyone wanting a one-night option.  Sorry.

Advanced Registration CLOSES at 6:00PM - Tuesday April 28th, to get an accurate head count to buy food & supplies.  LATE Registration will be accepted with much groveling and an additional crisp 20-dollar bill.

This is a rain, shine, or whatever event.  You can cancel before the headcount is delivered for a refund, but afterwards refunds can only be offered if you are replaced by a late entry.
