CE – THIS IS A CLOSED RIDE TO THE PUBLIC. MEMBERS MAY BRING TWO GUESTS WITH THEM.
PLEASE ARRIVE 20 – 30 MINUTES PRIOR TO THE PRE-RIDE BRIEFING! (This will allow you time to visit other riders, use the restroom, fuel up, get a cup of coffee, etc.)
PLEASE BRING YOUR SM HOG MEMBERSHIP CARD FOR CURRENT STATUS!
As in the past couple years we will transport the American flag to Salinas ALR Post 31.
NOTE: IF YOU DO NOT DO WELL WITH HEAT THEN YOU SHOULD CONSIDER NOT GOING ON THIS RIDE AND THIS IS BASED OFF PAST HISTORY WITH THIS TIME OF THE YEAR AND TRAVELING NORTH OF PASO ROBLES.
You must have a Nation of Patriots Release Form with you or you will not be able to ride with the group. YOU DO NOT NEED TO REGISTER WITH NoP AND THEIR WEBSITE. JUST DOWNLOAD, PRINT, AND BRING THE RELEASE FORM.
We will depart Pappy’s after the pre-ride briefing and after all release forms have been received. YOU MUST HAVE A RELEASE FORM FOR EACH DAY YOU RIDE. We will head north on Highway 101 to the Highway 46 West exit and the McChevron (McDonalds / Chevron Station) for a short break and fuel. We will continue north on Highway 101 to King City where we will take the Broadway exit and head to the Chevron Station. We will top off, take a break, and meet the ALR riders. They will escort us to Salinas and we will exit W. Laurel Drive and head a short distance to the American Legion Post 31 that will be on the left hand side with parking in the rear of the building. They will serve us lunch, we will have the flag exchange ceremony, say our goodbyes and head back to Santa Maria.
The return trip will be W. Laurel to Highway 101 south to King City once again for fuel at the Chevron, and then back to Paso and the 46 West McChevron IF YOU WANT TO STOP FOR A BREAK AND / OR FUEL, and this will be our termination point for the ride. Most likely the group will not stop here and we’ll make our way back to Santa Maria.
