The link below is to "The Pace" an article written in June of 1993 by the then editor of Sport Bike Magazine, Nick Ienatsch.
It has become THE STANDARD of riding for most everyone that has read it.
If you have not read it you need to. If you have read you need to read it again.

Kathy, Candi, Richard and Steve would like this year to be even more speical than ever!
Since the race track is at the FAR south end of Sonoma county, and the good riding roads are at the FAR north end of Sonoma county we would like you to choice your lodging closer to us.
We will post locations with the best rates and distances from the track.
We are planning a dinner after each afternoon ride at a nice resturant close to or in Healdsburg. Information on this will follow. Although you will have to pay for the dinner they will be reasonably priced and at a beautiful location for us all to get to know one another better!
So if you choice to stay in our area and go to our dinners you will not have far to ride home. Healdsburg is only 46 miles from the track. |
These rides are designed for experienced riders.
Arrive at the track with a full tank of fuel.
Registration is at 8:00 AM Rides will leave ON TIME at 8:30 AM Sharp.
There will be TWO rides each day!
First one leaving from Sears Point at 8:30 AM from the front gate.
Free lunch sponsored By RKA at Destination RKA 12:00 to 1:00 PM
Second ride leaves from Destination RKA at 1:00 PM sharp with a group dinner to follow after the ride (More info to follow)
Most of you will want to ride both sessions.
For new riders or riders that are not quite has hardy, you can study the maps posted and choice which rides you want to go on.
This year is going to be a GREAT EVENT and lots of fun! |
