  • All attendees – If you have accommodations in town, please check into your hotel/Airbnb before coming to the Jonquil to register for the event. Event registration will happen in the backyard of the Jonquil Motel — please arrive on foot or on your bike to check in for the event and grab your swag bag. Please do not drive into the yard with your truck or vehicle — please park on the the street until you have registered for the event. You can park your bike in front of the motel, in the backyard, or on the street.

  • Trailering a bike into the event? It gets pretty crowded around here as the rally ramps up, so if you can unload your bike and keep your trailer near your hotel/Airbnb, that would be awesome. If parking is tight where you are staying, come to the backyard of the Jonquil and we can help you get situated.
