3nd Annual Beemers Under The Redwoods
Vintage Campout

The Beemers Under The Redwoods, 3nd edition campout is on! This year, due to some familial duties, the campout is a week later than usual, September 15th. We will again be meeting at a great location, close enough to ride your old bike to, and lots of great local roads to ride your old bike around on! Beautiful scenery, fun roads, great food and drinks, and a campfire for great camaraderie — what more could you ask for?

What: Camping under the redwoods. A big fire ring. A BBQ dinner and breakfast. Great local roads to ride. Nearby views of Monterey Bay and the Santa Cruz Mountains.

When: Arrive Saturday, September 15th after 1pm, depart Sunday before 1pm.

Where: Mt. Madonna County Park, Manzanita Group Campground. This is located on top of Hecker Pass, along CA-152 between Gilroy and Watsonville. See the maps below.

How Much: $30 for each rider, $15 for each pillion. This includes camping, dinner and breakfast. The park ranger will charge you an additional $15 when you enter for each extra vehicle (motorcycle, auto/truck, or trailer) you bring.

To make your reservation, fill out the form below and send a check for $30 to:

Darryl Richman
333 Castle Dr.
Santa Cruz, CA 95065

Be sure to mail it early enough so that it reaches me by September 8th. You are not registered until I receive your check, and I can't guarantee that there will be food for you, so payment must be in advance. If you need to contact me, you can click on the webmaster link at the bottom of the page or my home number is 831-475-1339.

Food and Drink: Dinner will offer a choice of chicken, tri tip, or a veggie entree. Water and drinks will be available.

What Else: If you want to camp Friday or Sunday (or both), you can make reservations for one of the individual campsites at the park. If you'd like to attend, but your back can't take camping any more, there are plenty of motels in Watsonville and Gilroy, both about 10 miles away.

BMW of Santa Cruz County is down highway 152 in Watsonville, no more than a 10 minute drive, should some emergency repair be required. Ted Porter's BeemerShop is in Scotts Valley is about 30 minutes away.

Please RSVP by filling out the form below to register your preference for dinner. Be sure to send your check by September 8th. Thanks!

You can see who is coming on the big list.
