Palms to Pines

This route gives you great scenery and a change of pace from riding the highway while still giving access to the wooded areas of Southern California. From our meeting spot in Corona we will head east making our way to Anza and to Highway 74. From there we will head to the Santa Rosa Reservation for fuel and a quick rest break. After toping off its off to Palm Springs to a local restaurant, that since 1985 has been earning a reputation for their "artfully prepared Mexican regional cuisine", their words not mine, but all of us who have dined there agree!

Several of us just did this route on a spontaneous free afternoon. We all had such a good time we decided to make it the Official GEARS RC ride for January.

In case you are not familiar with GEARS RC, we are a local family motorcycle riding club founded in 2022 with our roots going back decades when we were a chapter of a national riding organization. We became one of the top chapters in the organization and won several awards for our success.

GEARS is not a motorcycle club, GEARS is a RIDING CLUB known in the community as an "RC". We are an association of like-minded people. We wear leather and ride motorcycles, but there is something unique about GEARS RC. The organization’s basis is the fantastic members that make up and contribute to the GEARS RC family. The People, the Family structure and the Values that GEARS RC represents are the “Soul of GEARS”.

We are an organization that accepts people from all walks of life, who enjoy motorcycles. We strive to promote a positive environment of fun, safe riding and camaraderie within the motorcycle community. We pride ourselves on having enough discipline and professionalism to keep this motorcycling hobby of ours safe, but we are casual enough that we can have a good time and relax. After all, motorcycles were made to be enjoyed, and that's just what we do!

On the morning of the ride, there will be a quick GEARS RC meeting and pre-ride briefing starting at 8:30am with kickstands up at 9:15. We welcome first time guests! No matter what you ride from HOGs to Hondas and of course Yamaha's ;), 2 wheels or 3, we’re all here to have fun! We have a very strong RIDING CLUB filled with respectful motorcyclists from all walks of life.

No matter what your level of riding experience is you will find plenty of friends with GEARS RC! If you aren’t up for the entire ride, no worries! Riders are free to break off at any time.

*Rider Requirements: For your safety and that of the group, we require that you show up with a DOT helmet, gloves and appropriate footwear. Please arrive with full tank of gas. We do require all riders to have a valid motorcycle endorsement and insurance.

**Please note GEARS RC does not condone the consumption of alcohol on our rides for obvious reasons.
