The 2010 Songdog Ride

May 1-3, 2010

The S. F. Northstars Motorcycle Club & Friends

We are going to Songdog the first weekend in May.  Ride in on Saturday and camp for two nights.  We will be cooking our own tri-tip & chicken dinner Saturday night.  We will have a continental breakfast Sunday morning.  Many great So-Cal. riding options are available on Sunday.  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.

We will stop for dinner Sunday evening on the way back to the mesa.  We will ride out for breakfast Monday morning.

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.  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.
