Monthly Club meeting at Susie's Country Oaks Cafe, 1000 Melody Lane, Roseville, CA 95678
Meeting starts more or less at 8:00 and runs till 8:30 or so, depending on what the Rafflemeister has in his goodie bag.
For $10, members wearing a name badge get 6 regular raffle tickets and 1 "big prize" ticket. No name badge, no big ticket, but you might be able to buy one? Maybe?
What's better, after breakfast, than a spirited ride through the beautiful NorCal roads we've been blessed with? Except for special events, the rides are generally 2-3 hours in length, cover 100-200 miles, and end with a lunch at some destination. The rides are generally "spirited" but if we get enough participation, we generally add a second, more relaxed-pace group. Clutch out is 9:00AM or when the monthly meeting ends, whichever is later, and ride sheets are usually distributed prior to departure. Please show up with a full tank of gas.
The RCB board of directors meets monthly to review past activities and plan future events. Consideration is given to member interest and cost, and the meeting is open to all.
The meeting is held at Kathrin's Biergarten, 4810 Granite Dr, Rocklin, CA.
While the meeting begins at 7:00 P.M., most of the directors gather earlier to have dinner.
RCB member participation is strongly encouraged.
(From the NORCAL event) It's time again for the biggest BMW motorcycle rally this side of the Mississippi!
The 49er Rally is the BMW Motorcycle Club of Northern California's annual Memorial Day Weekend rally, with 46 years of tradition that predates the BMW Motorcycle Owners of America's (MOA) National Rally. (In fact, the first MOA Rally was held at our 49er Rally!) This is the West's premier BMW Rally!
This year's 49er Rally offers four nights of grassy camping, optional RV camping with water and electrical hook-ups, hot showers, cold drinks, great food, clinics, speakers, vendor displays, prize giveaways, and the camaraderie of lot of fantastic people from all over! Attendees will also have great local riding opportunities including a Poker Run, a self guided Historical Ride, and self guided GS and road rides. Riders can also sign up for GS adventure riding clinics with Lance Thomas followed by guided rides.

Every year around this time a number of RCB members huddle around a table to plot next year's ride calendar. We'll be looking for a mix of slab and off-road rides, a mix of one day and overnight rides, and a mix of camping and motels rides. We'll also consider other club's activities and try to minimize overlap. In the end, we hope to generate a ride calendar for the coming year..
The meeting starts at 6PM and usually runs for two hours or so. Members propose rides (or rides they would like) and together we try to fit this jigsaw puzzle together. Even if you don't have a ride to propose, it's worth it to stop by just to see how things come together. Hey, it's YOUR club, after all.
RCB picks up the pizza and soft drinks and it's not a bad way to spend a Sunday evening.
Our annual Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanzaa/etc. party is scheduled for Saturday, December 7th at A&S starting at 6:00pm. As always, we will start setting up about 5:00 pm once A&S closes for regular customers. We would welcome volunteers to help with set up and clean up. As usual, the Club will be providing turkey and ham and drinks of various sorts. To complete the menu you are requested to bring a dish to share based on the following alphabetic distribution (which has rotated from last year's breakdown):
Those with last names beginning with A-D should bring desserts. Those with last names beginning with E-K should bring salads. Those with last names beginning with L-Z should bring side dishes (casseroles, veggies, etc.).
Of course, if there is a dish for which you are locally, regionally, internationally, or intergalactically famous you may bring that in lieu of your assigned item!!
The monthly Club meeting (including elections for club officers and directors) will be held Saturday morning as usual. The monthly raffle will be held during the party.
