Golden Chain Run, Revisited

Well now that everyone has forgotten about how horrible it was, we can now remind you all of the good times we had ripping up 49 together. Here is a couple from Holly, our resident photosuperwoman, and here's a link to the rest of the TRIP she did.

Until next year!!!!

GOLDEN CHAIN RUN!

Only a couple days away now. So we've got almost everything ready for the ride, including some run shirts from the always badass Mitch Cotie. Our site at Rivers Bend Resort in Coloma is also reserved, and people as far as Holland and Idaho are on the road headed our way.
One last heads up:
Thursday night: Mariposa, Alley Bar
Friday morning: Leave mid morning headed north on 49. Destination Sonora
Friday afternoon: Lunch at clubhouse 346 west jackson st sonora ca 95370 Coloma bound early afternoon.
Friday night: Camping at Rivers Bend Resort on 49. Food and drink options are available in Coloma, including BBQ pits at camp site.
Saturday: Head north on 49, final destination is Belden. Gas/lunch in Grass Valley/Nevada City, another gas stop Bassetts Station, and final gas stop Quincy.
Saturday night: Enjoy!
And just another reminder: this isn't a pack run. Split up into groups you feel comfortable riding with. There will be plenty of cops on the road this weekend, so save your money for some booze and a shirt!

Another GCR Update

OK, so we've upgraded our camping situation. We are now, still in Coloma, at River Bend Resort. They can accommodate 70 of us, so there is no need to check in with us prior to meeting up with us. The cost per person is $15 for the night. This gets us BBQ pits, bathrooms, showers (whatever those are), and a safe place to camp and park the bikes for the night. The other nice thing about this place is... its just down the road from the Coloma Club! Live music every weekend until the end of the summer.
And now that we've given you some good news, we need to remind of the bad: the countywide noise curfew is in effect here too. Just show respect, and we'll be good. Hopefully we will all be invited back next year!
We will have a sign out on highway 49 for the turn off for camping. Email us with questions!

Josh got the sign done!

See you on the road!

Mailing List and GCR Updates

In an attempt to make it a little easier on us to keep people up to date on whats going on, we started to use a mass mailer delivery program thing. If you signed up for our mailing list or bought a shirt from us recently, and you didn't receive anything, shoot us an email, OR add our email to your contacts. If you don't want to hear from us, just unsubscribe. No hard feelings, we just won't stop when you're broke down on the road! Ha
On a different note: if you are planning on meeting up with us Thursday night in Mariposa at the Alley Bar, give us a call or email. We'll give you further directions. Another option is Friday in Sonora, or Coloma Friday night, at Camp Lotus. We have a campsite for 30 people, so double check with us for accommodations in Coloma. Saturday we'll be heading north and picking up the stragglers as we go!

Golden Chain Run 2015, September 4-7

OK, here it is: we're not doing our annual party in Copperopolis this year, for no other reason than we wanted to change it up a little. So we decided to do a run up highway 49, from Mariposa, camping in Coloma along the river, and then ending in Beldon for the Beldon Town party.
We're not taking over Beldon, we're just organizing a run up the foothills, open for anyone who wants to join us. There are already people meeting us along the way, and thats fine too.
The plan is to leave Mariposa Friday morning, September 4th, to Coloma. People will be camping and hanging out at the Alley Bar, in downtown Thursday night. Depending on the number of people who are showing up on Thursday, we might just camp on the river instead.
Friday we will head north along the Golden Chain Highway, through Sonora and Placerville, and ending in Coloma for camping, BBQ, and drinks.
The plan as of now, is we will bring the BBQ, and you supply your meat, or food preference. Saturday morning is pretty straight forward, continuing onward, through Grass Valley, and then up into the mountains, and finally into the Feather River Canyon, and then Beldon.
Simply put, a run, not a pack run, up highway 49, camping, fun, drinks, and friends. More info on campsites will come soon!
Feel free to pass this along to righteous chopper lovers everywhere!
