I'm bringing my 300cc dirt bike to ride in the adjacent 2-wheel park! Friday's are a great day to ride there as it's pretty deserted.

there have also been bicycle rides to town

just to be clear, no 2 wheelers (bicycles or motorcycles) allowed on the trails in the 4wd side of the park.

the adjacent, motorized 2 wheeler park (where 4 wheelers and pedal 2 wheelers are not allowed), is a short pavement ride away from our camp.

hope that makes sense

Thanks, I think that makes sense. Bicycles to town sounds fun. Maybe I didn't read well enough but I didn't see a fee for any off road use. Think I can just use the OHV to get to the 2 wheel park? I don't need a ticket in CA for anything..

here is the official park page
http://ohv.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=1179
I suggest you verify anything I say with them

bykes are forbidden in the 4wd park

imo, NO you can NOT drive a 2 wheeler between the 4 wheel and 2 wheel park,

NO 2 wheelers are allowed to share the Public Park 4 wheel trails for any reason

Syncrofest is held in a Private place called Area 5 that is not public, we have reserved it, and it will be full of people camping, wall to wall

you will be able to drive a 4 wheeler from camp, on a dirt road, to the public 4wd area

or from camp on a paved road, anywhere you want to go, 2 wheel motorized offroad or pavement, and 2 wheel pedal on pavement

use of the public park is $10 per day, it is included in your syncrofest fee (4 days), the other $10 is for the Saturday Tritip BBQ included in your SFest fee

disclaimer, I am not in any way an official, just telling you what I believe is true from participating since 2008

We're headed up from San Diego but with work schedules we aren't leaving until Thursday evening, stopping in Santa Barbara and getting to Hollister Friday morning.

someone creative could form a syncrofest travel group map, on waze for example, and anyone logged in, can see and show other pilgrims positions as they converge on planned caravan meetup points

Woohoo! I just signed up!
This will be my first event with other like minded people! Looking forward to meeting you guys.

I wouldn't mind caraVANing up with others. Aiming to leave Thursday, but possibly Friday, depending on my preparedness. I am in the Ventura County area and can meet up with you more southerly folks on your way up the 101 to Hollister.

Well this sucks. Can't go because I'm "too valuable" to go on vacation during an inventory at work. There's nobody that can step in and do my job during this time. Oh well.. consider my $50 registration fee a donation to the cause. Have fun.

and go to work
and be the man of the house
and take care of every one else...

I'm good Shocked
