Show up Friday May 3 and set up camp at the private ranch in the grass & oaks of the Private Ranch in Central California.
There is plenty of room for trucks, trailers and RV camping at the private ranch. Or you could pitch a tent. Enjoy the bonfire Friday night at the ranch.
The club will portage your gear and fuel on Saturday to the overnight destination in Ballinger Canyon. 6 meals are included with your membership, as well as an Open Bar Sat. night with a bartender at the private ranch, where the only thing ever raised was beers by the campfire.
Private Campsites are available in Ballinger for a fee, as are sleeping pads in the one room Lodge on Saturday night at the Private Ranch in Ballinger Canyon, or you can camp anywhere on the Mesa at no additional cost.
On Friday night we’ll have a benchracing session and a raging bonfire until 10pm. If you’d like, at sundown, go for a 16-mile night ride up to the top of Black Mountain and its FAA towers. On a twisty paved public road with a view for miles at the top.
Saturday morning in Pozo after the included breakfast is nincluded, and after a trip to the new Porta-Potties, suit up and head to Ballinger Canyon, with new buddies or old, on a outstanding loop in an area were few people venture.
You’ll ride over the Santa Lucia Mountains to the Carrizo Plains, and around Soda Dry Lake. On the ‘A” & B+ loops you’ll ride along a 30+ mile ridgetop 2 track jeep road along the Temblor range that separates the California Valley from the San Joaquin Valley. Above the San Andreas Fault.
The ‘B’ and ADV loop will skip the ridgetop 2 track and ride along the San Andreas Fault.
It’s just a little over 110 miles on the Challenging loop to the Private Ranch in Ballinger, where we will have Lunch on Saturday afternoon. Then to live up to the 300-mile moniker, you’ll have your choice of loops in Ballinger Canyon after lunch. There will be several Loops to choose from for all levels of Skill in Ballinger Canyon on Saturday Afternoon.
The ADV Loop is longer on Saturday, and the ADV Riders will skip any loops in Ballinger Canyon.

The Club will portage your gear, cot, tent, small Ice Chest and drop off and pick you gear up at your chosen private campsite. Or transport your camping or sleeping gear to the lodge. And transport your fuel can to the Parc Ferme near the lodge.
Saturday night we’ll have a BBQ’d dinner with all the fixin’s, + dessert, and the Open Bar will be open with a bartender from 4 until 9 PM. We will have a raging group bonfire, and possibly a Q n A and a swag drawing, with any VIPs that may happen to show up.
If you’ve reserved a private campsite with running water, a picnic table and a nearby outhouse, you’ll also have a fire ring and firewood will be available to purchase for you own rendition of a raging campfire.
Sunday after breakfast, ride some fun trails of the Red Garter and Leapin’ Lizard Enduros.
There will not be a morning ADV Loop on Sunday.
The riding on Sunday can be even more challenging than Saturday, if you wish. After breakfast, which will make our drivers faster, you’ll have your choice of morning loops. While we won’t name trails here, you will have your choice of loops.
After the morning loop in Ballinger, come back to the Ranch in Ballinger. Fuel up, grab a sack lunch for the trail and high-tail it back to Pozo. On a Challenging ‘A’ Loop, a semi challenging ‘B+’ loop, an easy B loop, or dirt roads over a few summits and pavement on the Adventure loop.
