Brick,

Can you provide some detail about this ride? The website is not real clear exactly what the goal is. Is it just a "border to border" ride with a laid out route that you follow? Is there some type of rally atmosphere to it or is it just about riding and enjoying the scenery?

What does it cost beyond the price of joining SCMA?

[Brick]

The southern CA motorcycle association hosts many different rides. Most have a Long Distance flavor. This is no different 6 to 700 mile days with 3 to 4 check points along the route too kind of keep you on the route. There is a rally atmosphere at the start and a banquet at the finish with a real fun group carrying the glass of three nations in a ceremony. Many have done this ride 15 and 20 times and so like the MSTA many are swing old friends again... once a year. I've done this twice and this will be the third time. Each was totally different but each was a lot of fun and a great event. This first year we started in Mexico then for years because of perceived danger we started as close as possible to the fence.
It's probably not for everyone. Also it's like $250 and back in the day it was a lottery.

"Back in the day it was a lottery"

That sounds like now everyone who wants to participate can. Is that correct?

[Steve]

No, it is limited to 300 bikes.

So, if I understand you correctly, this is a group of swingers? And you say that is like the MSTA?

Well, I guess I wasn't paying attention, 'cause I missed all that stuff. :-)
