Nor-Cal however you define it is culturally starved compared to the rest of the state. With that being said we have some of the most beautiful scenery to be seen anywhere in the country. Beware though, last year's fires have diminished the scenery significantly. However, within 30/40 minutes you can go from 500 ft elevation to 4/5/6K ft elevation in any one of three directions. Some locations have so many tight steep turns you have to shift into 1st or 2nd to safely negotiate them and you can even get a glimpse of your own license plate. That would be on highway 3 over Scott Mountain or on the road through Lassen Park. When my wife and I take off for a weekend jaunt it ends up being a minimum of a 180 to 200 mile round trip. Most people don't like to ride that far at one time. But then there are some short rides if you can't take the thin air.
I hope the Nor-Cal Rally is reinstated. It has been a great ryde
with wonderful people. I'm sure we can drum up participation
from northern Nevada and the Battle Born Spyders.
We came down from Canada to Nor-cal from 2016-2019, last one that happened. We really enjoyed the people and locations.
We have also been wondering if was going to make a return.
Where in Norcal was it held? I'm sure it would be closer from Pahrump Nv than Deadwood SD.
Roughly between Yosemite and LassenQuote:

Put on by the Sacramento SRA Group. The rooms were fantastic, I not only had
a jet bathtub, I was furnished with 3 little ducks who felt at home with the bubble
bath I always carry in my trailer!:p
Squared Sway was there doing installs repairs, maintenance and oh yes alignments:clap:
All who attended received tee shirts and patches.
Smaller rallies don't draw the vendors like the larger rallies do. That's the only disadvantage I can see with the smaller rallies.Quote:

Large rallies are not my cup of tea, but I think they're good for Spyder community cohesion, so I hope this one returns in some form.
