We will travel through ranch lands, vineyards, and orchards of De Luz. We will run at a casual pace through mostly two lane scenic roads. The ride will be approx. 100 miles and will end up at the Rainbow Oaks Restaurant. My guess is that it wouldn't be much of a problem to leave a trailer around the starting area in Santa Ysabel. Also, Cindy will be running sweep with a truck and trailer.
I'd like to see some of the older and smaller classics come out. So lunch will be offered to the Best Classic of 450cc's and under.

To raise awareness and help fund the cure for prostate cancer. "Please be mindful that this is a classic styled motorcycle event. This includes Café Racers, Bobbers, Modern Classics, Scramblers and Classic Scooters. If you are not sure whether your bike fits one of these categories please check out our helpful style guide. If your current bike does not fit one of these styles but you still want to be involved, borrowing or hiring a suitable bike is perfectly acceptable!" There are prizes for the highest fundraisers. There are a couple of teams already set up by club members: Perros Viejos and San Diego Antique Motorcycle Club. Start time is 10AM at the Balboa Par, Air and Space Museum. Finish location: Societe Brewing Company, via Rocket Motorcycles and the Mt. Soledad Cross.

The fine print, hidden deep in the FAQ: "DGR is simply about the niches within the motorcycle world. It is not an event for our friends on cruisers, sports bikes, motards, modern plastic scooters, dirt bikes, adventure bikes, tourers and Can-Ams....One of our goals is to keep these events small and manageable by our volunteer hosts. In order to do this we restrict the size of the event by restricting the style of bikes. This event is no different from a classic all-English motorcycle meet or a HOG ride whereby it is expected that you meet their bike criteria to participate. This event is exclusive to the classic styles within our guide."
