This event is intended as a gathering for dual sporters of all interests to

California, either on their own or with other riders.

Suggested routes below.

-For Registration information on Spring Roundup, contact: SpringRndup@a...


-Location will be at the Songdog Ranch (http://songdog.com/ranch/index.htm)
located 15 minutes from New Cuyama, CA.

> NEW: The option to include a Santa Maria Style BBQ dinner plus Breakfast
> at Songdog Ranch has presented itself to us. The cost would be an extra $20
> ($30 total) and we would need a total of 34 people paid by 4/8 (we're on
> the hook for $1000 after the food is ordered). Is there anyone interested?
> The question has come up as to where to send the money: If your club or
> group is involved in the ride, the leaders will collect the money. If you
> are coming as an individual, you can send the money to me. If we don't get
> enough people, then I'll refund at the ride. We have a Plan B with a
> discounted prime rib dinner at the Buckhorn if we don't get enough people.
> Contact SpringRndup@a... for address information.

-Directions: To get to Songdog Ranch from the South: take Hwy 33 north
towards route 166. When you pass the only gas station on Hwy 33 in the Cuyama
Valley, count 2.8 miles from that point and look for a small "Songdog Ranch"
sign on the right (east) side. Turn right on the paved road, after about a
half mile you will see the Songdog Ranch on your left side, don't stop,
continue until you see the dirt road on your right that leads up the bluff.

>Coming from the North: Heading South on Hwy 33, approx. 3-5mi. from the
intersection of 166 and 33, there is a small sign on the left side of the
road near the ground that says Songdog. Go left, for about a mile, you'll see
a ranchouse on the left. On the right, across the street, through a telephone
poled gated entrance, there is a dirt road, turn right, onto it and this will
hook around back to your right, and this will take you up to the
mesa(camground), bunkhouse(hall), and the camping area.
>Note: If you’re planning to RV Camp in Ballinger, simply continue all the
way up Ballinger Cyn Rd. to the OHV area entrance, and to the staging area.
>If you were to have gone straight on Hwy33 at the 'Songdog' sign, and
remained heading South, you would, within 3 minutes, have seen both The
Pistachio Ranch and The Place.
