The Rally will once again be a fundraiser for Polio Plus, part of Rotary International. A big thanks to Bob Mutchler for all his support of the Rally. The minimum donations stay the same at $50 for a individual, and $100 for a couple. This is a great organization and the Cal24 is happy to be of help to them.
Fees for this Rally are up slightly from last year. The reason for this is that we have a much better place for the banquet, and it is more expensive than previous years. I think everyone will be happy with the new place.
Mark Crane is still the Rallymaster, and in the Cal24 tradition we will be doing things a little different again. Riders will, as always, be going on some of the greatest roads in California, Nevada, and Oregon. We just have some more fun things to do and see along the way.
I will see everyone in June!

All pertinent info can be found at
www.cal24.com. If you check out that site, you might see a striking similarity to
www.ninjette.org. Seems they hired the same crappy webmaster, at the same rate ($0).
I don't know if there are many long-distance rally junkies on this ninjette board yet, but maybe one or two will crawl out of the woodwork over time. The Cal24 is a 24-hr rally, where the riders will put on well over 1000 miles over that time period, chasing bonuses all over California and likely some neighboring states. I've done 5 of them so far, finished in the top-10 twice, just out of the top-10 twice more, but I'd really like to get a top-5 one of these years.
