Come join us in Steinbeck Country! This ride has a pre-1916 theme, but all antique motorcycles are welcome. We usually have about 1/3 pre-'16 bikes and the rest are newer, all the way up to the AMCA qualifying year. Cost is $95. Registration details are included in the flyer.
You can download the flyer here or from the Yerba Buena Chapter website Calendar page. While you're visiting our chapter website, you can check out Ride Reports and Galleries from past years' King City Runs. http://www.yerbabuenaamca.org
The ride is based in King City, California. You'll enjoy riding through the Central California farmlands and the Gavilan Mountain Range. Highlights of the Friday ride include a trip up and over the infamous Parkfield Grade (including about 5-6 miles of dirt road), spectacular views of the Central Valley from the top of the Gavilan Range, and lunch at the Parkfield Cafe in the Earthquake Capital of the World. Google "earthquake capital of the world" and read up on Parkfield! The Parkfield Cafe is a rustic joint with great food and about a thousand branding irons hanging from the ceiling. If there's an earthquake while we're having lunch we will definitely know it.
