And according to Pat Gardner, Rally Chairman, "The 49'er Rally's continuing growth and the need for a larger and more complete facility led us to Quincy.  Plus we can get there on either of our two most favrite highways- Highway 70, which goes through the Feather River Canyon, or up from the South via the Northernmost part of the Gold Country's Highway 49."  	Day passes will not be available and non-BMW rider must be a  pre-registered guest of a BMW rider. 	 	The Quincy Fairgrounds is located on California State Highway 70/89, two miles South of downtown Quincy.  	For pre-registration forms and additional information, write Doug Hubbard, BMW Club of Northern California, 41236 Norman Court, Fremont, CA 94539, or telephone <US> (510) 651-2195 ADDITIONAL NOTES::    This is a not for profit event and riders DO get their monies worth.   Whether you've ever attended a rally before or not This is the one   to make.  The only problem has been that there are so   many activities that attendees have to choose one over another.   Quincy is a beautiful campground, lots of grass and little dust.   For folks who have been to previous 49'er rallies at Mariposa,    Quincy has lots of space, all of it flat so room is not a problem.   There are buildings and such available if there is a change in the weather.   Also the people of Quincy are going all out to welcome us.    Registration will begin on thursday.  Of course there are always early   arrivals who will show up monday or tuesday.  The registration fee pays   for camping Thursday through Monday (5 days).  There will be a tour Friday   with the main events beginning Saturday.  Sunday Evening will be the   awards ceremony.     For members of the various clubs, club awards will be based on    registration declaration of affilitation.  There will of course   be the usual awards for oldest male and female rider < betting 70 +   needed to win> and youngest rider ( they get cheater permits at 15>.   and greatest distance, one up & two up and all the usual things.
