NW Star Fest
June 24, 25 & 26, 2016
RSC Members and their guests are welcome.
Hello Northwesterners and any others who may be interested. Mark your calendar for June 24, 25 & 26, 2016 for the NORTHWEST STAR FEST. The plan is to meet at Shores’ (Steve) home the evening of the 24th for a burrito bar at his house, go for breakfast on the 25th, group ride after breakfast around the Hood Canal (about 200 miles, 4.5 hrs.) and then back to Puyallup for dinner at a local Mexican food restaurant. There is room for 6-7 tents in Steve’s back yard with access to the basement bathroom and shower. Steve will be taking Thursday the 23rd and Monday the 27th off, so if anyone wants to arrive early or stay late to do some riding or get a tour of the local points of interest, just let Steve know. Non-RSC friends are welcome. Below is a list generated from the
map and posts of RSC members who are within close driving distance. PM Shores if you are interested in coming, when you plan to arrive and leave, how many in your party and give him your email and phone info so he can send you more details and stay in touch as the date approaches. All plans subject to change. Shores
