VCARS Original Series Celebration & Slideshow

THE VENTURA COUNTY ADVENTURE RIDE SERIES
Retrospective Celebration & Slideshow

What When Where Registration Contact Registration Fee Refreshments, Slideshow Meet Thursday, 25 Sept, 6:30 PM Meet @ BMW Motorcycles of Ventura County EarthRider $Free Next: []

The first Ventura County Adventure Ride Series, the immensely successful BMWVC-sponsored series of GS-oriented adventure rides and instruction days, has come to a close. The results have been spectacular: Graded fire roads may have seemed significantly challenging during DSR 01, yet many were riding with confidence in deep riverbed sand well before the series was over. Four VCARS riders completed the Great Divide Route this year.

Join us on the evening of Thursday, September 25 at 6:30 PM for the first annual VCARS retrospective celebration. All VCARS vets are encouraged to come enjoy refreshments, catch up with riding buddies, and tell tall tales. If you missed the last VCARS series, this is your opportunity to hear firsthand accounts from survivors (ahem…), and find out more about what we have planned next. Ride leader Laine MacTague of EarthRider will speak about what the upcoming ride series has to offer. Come enjoy good food and good company. Furthermore, if you rode in the series, you are in the VCARS retrospective slideshow! Don’t miss it!

Great turnout! For those of you who asked for a copy of the slideshow, or wanted to se it but were unable to attend, It's available at the top of the left column on this page.
