July 16, 17, 18 & 19, 2009 - CalParks 1096 Ride and Tour

Our planned event for 2009 will allow you the option of not only riding with us, but also riding and visiting some of the best parks in the United States. In conjunction with the SCMA (Southern California Motorcycle Association), the Ride for the Heart is offering two touring rides which will cover over half of the planned park locations included in the event. Whether or not you go to all 24 parks planned for the SCMA event, you can be guaranteed a visit to some of the best locations in California, and possibly the United States.

Our plan is to depart from Porterville, head north through Sequoia and King Canyon National Parks and end in Fresno our first night. The following morning we will ride through Yosemite through the Gold Country and ending in Fairfield, CA. Get up early for our third day of riding as we are visiting a total of five national parks near the San Francisco bay area. Our third night will end in Hollister, home of the Hollister Motorcycle rally. Our final day takes us south for a visit to Pinnacles National Monument and finally to our last park on this ride. Once you have stopped and checked in at Channel Islands National Park each rider is invited to a special Ride for the Heart hosted lunch to end your CalParks 1096. As an option, you may purchase the SCMA California Parks Adventure package. This package includes a passport which you use at each park location. If you complete all 24 parks in your passport, you will be awarded a SCMA finisher plaque. It is not a requirement to purchase the California Parks Adventure package to enjoy the ride with us, but it will give you the opportunity to have an entire year of riding to some of the best spots in California. Many riders will be participating in the California Parks Adventure with us, how about you? Your pre-registration of $125.00 includes a suggested ride route of approximately 1,000 miles, ride pin and t-shirt.

If you participate in both the 1072 and 1096 you will receive a special dual event patch. Sign up of the SCMA California Parks Adventure ($60.00) includes a passport, SCMA Parks and AMA Grand Tour Pin and if you complete the entire 24 parks a finishers plaque. End location details and hotel information will be available by mid March. For more information go to: www.ridefortheheart.com or call Bill Davis at 760-644-2118.
