Behold ... The Final Rally of 2017.....

Here's the juice on this year's fantabulous Renegade Rally, running Friday October 13th, through Sunday October 15th in the beautiful Napa Valley. You'll note it's the weekend following the equally splendiferous RPM fall rally, so riders can treat themselves to the double. Renegade Riders should think about arriving Friday teatime, be prepared for punctual kick stands up on Saturday morning, and enjoy breakfast of some sorts on Sunday morning before heading home.
    Setting the Renegade apart from all other rallies is its budget price of FREE to the first riders who commit. Peruse the accommodation on offer, make your selection and turn up on the Friday. Simple.

The Silverstone (2 peeps max)




The Cadwell Couch (room for one only)




The Goodwood Garage (2 peeps max)





The Santa Pod (2 peeps max)




And in tent city......

The Big Brands Hatch (4 peeps max)


The Donington Super Dome (3 peeps max)


The Truxton (3 peeps max)


Max Total capacity = 17, Min Total capacity = 7



Food
Chip in for a BBQ on Friday night. A doughnut run on Saturday morning. Saturday lunch, see Ride details. Saturday evening could be another BBQ or pizza or local restaurant. Sunday breakfast open to discussion.





Beverages
Plenty of this type of thing available here...



The Saturday Ride:
(Mileages and times are approximate, but near enough)

Napa 10:00am
Route 121 - 128 - chiles valley - butts canyon - 70 miles, 11/2 hours to Middletown
Middletown 11:30
Route 29 - Calistoga - petrified forest road - 101 - Healdsburg - 50 miles, 1 hour
Lunch at Big Johns Market at 12:30. Get gas.
Great sandwiches for about 8 bucks a go.
Healdsburg 1:00
Skaggs Springs run to Stewart's Point store (sometimes open, sometimes not) - 50 miles, 1 hour
Stewart's Point to Geyserville - 50 miles, 1 hour
Geyserville to Napa on the 128, - 50 miles, 1 hour
Napa 4:00pm. Get gas.

6 hours, 270 miles.

NOTE - The beginning of this route is under review. The 29 will be likely traffic choked on Saturday and Petrified Forest isn't a Rally worthy road. Instead I'm checking out the 175 out of Middletown and lunch in Hopland. Don't worry, Skaggs Springs is still on the menu.

Diane and I would like to attend and perhaps you can pick the most suitable location...  I'm known to fart, she snores on occasion, then of course there's all the noisy sex to put up with... :biggrin:

Should be fun!

The pictures of available accommodation were a right bother to post, but there they are anyway. In order then:

The Silverstone (blue and gold room)
The Caldwell Couch (it's just a simple couch but it's pretty comfy)
The Goodwood Garage (slept with the bikes. You know you want to)
The Santa Pod (outside luxury living)
Tent city - right the Big Brands Hatch ( you can stand up it this tent)
             - middle the Donington super dome (mountain ready canvas)
             - left the Thruxton (nearest the beer cooler)

Ok - here's the list of riders - this is where you weigh in:


Me
Frank and Diane
Capt Ron (possibly)
Mark O
Craig Z
