Last time I did a writeup on this ride, I also promised to let the board know when the next event would be. This is strictly a ride, there will be no
volunteer work involved, but the registration will help pay for some offroad-goodwill work later on. The event is open to various types of offroad
vehicles. I think registrations close on the 24th of March. There are plenty of raffle prizes (I think last year they were worth more than the total
membership fees), and many more other reasons to go. The press release is below.
Feel free to PM me or the contacts below if you have any questions.
Thanks.

RACERS AND RANCHERS ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP FUN RIDE / DRIVE
Saturday to Sunday April 4th & 5th, 2009
Racers and Ranchers will be conducting a membership fun ride and drive on Saturday and Sunday, April 4-5, in northern Baja. We will be riding from
Rancho Santa Veronica, outside Tecate, to the famous Horsepower Ranch outside Ensenada. There will not be a specific work project associated with this
ride, but we intend on stopping in at the Ejido Sierra Juarez (Sawmill) and a couple of other ranches to extend some goodwill and friendly greetings.
At Horsepower Ranch, we will have a surprise guest speaker as well as a raffle for some awesome prizes. Racers and Ranchers is indebted to Baja off
road racer Todd Clement for allowing us to use the private ranch. At our last visit in 2008, we had an incredible dinner with some great raffle
prizes, and enjoyed the unique off road Hall of Fame in the ranch’s cantina.
The cost of the ride will be a 2009 Racers and Ranchers membership or renewal of $50, plus $100 donation for Saturday’s accommodations and meals at
Horsepower Ranch. You are on your own for gas (available at Sawmill, Independencia, and Ojos Negros, all are area’s along the route we will be taking)
and lunch each day. We will ask Chuey Ramona and his wife to have ample burritos and tacos available at Sawmill each day for purchase. As usual, Dona
Ramona will have drinks available as well.
This is open to bikes, quads, UTV’s, buggies, Trophy Trucks, pick-up trucks, and any vehicle ready to traverse Baja. Please make sure your ride is
completely ready, as “sweep” vehicles are not planned. Groups will be formed by vehicle and ability. Fuel range should be a minimum of 60 miles.
This event is intended to foster Racers and Ranchers membership, promote our mission in Baja, and allow the Baja off road community to make new
friends and instill camaraderie. Please join us for this fun weekend! Visit http://www.racersandranchers.com/ and browse our website to see what we do, what we’ve done in the past, and how your membership will keep our
riding privileges in Baja alive!
