FROM THE HEAD FOX CA1F Chapter Director
Mary Brinker
Gree ngs Foxes
I hope everyone is doing well during this me while we are all sheltering at home. I know this is a stressful me for our society. If we follow the guidelines that have been set for us we will be riding g soon. A big thank you to everyone who supported our Fun Run this year. I really do appreciate all of our members.
There may be some more event cancella ons coming soon. Keep checking your e-mails.
FYI: We’ll con nue our breakfast gatherings at Ranch House when we resume our regular schedule.
Un l we meet again. Be safe.
Happy Trails
Hello CA1F
Not much going on this month, due to COVID-19 Stay at Home and Social Distancing requirement mandated by the Governor. There are events planned for CA2S late next month and District Rally in May. We will have to wait and see on those events. [Editor: CA District Rally has been cancelled]
As you all know that all the Chapter Dinner and Dissert ride were canceled last month. And will re-sume when every thing gets back to normal.
I want to thank everybody who made the FUN RUN a success and a great me for all, we decided to cancel the ride out of a concern for safety as not knowing the condi ons of the roads due to the rain. We were very lucky that the rain held off the day with only a few very lite showers.
We had a good showing from chapters north of us, Sorry I don’t have a list of the chapter to thank them for making the Fun Run a success.
Thank You Steve for the Rolling Barbeque on wheels from Caterpillar, it made the day.
Thank You Motoworld for le ng the Chapter use the Parking lot and the Great Gi Buckets for our Grand Prize give away, and NO I did not win anything like I normally do.
Ride Safe and Have a Great Month

Where Can I Take an Advanced or Experienced Rider Course?
We are frequently asked where these courses are available so here is a list of the courses in California that are accepted by GWRRA National Rider Education. If you come upon a class that is not listed, please contact us and we’ll check to be sure it’s approved before you take it.
GWRRA offers Advanced Rider and Trike Rider Courses at various times throughout the year. Gen-erally these are available at District rallies and at Wing Ding. Additionally if an instructor and an appro-priate facility are available the courses may be available at other times during the year and we will put that information out to the Chapter.
Lee Parks Total Control Advanced Rider Clinic now runs the California Motorcyclist Safety Program for the CHP. The schedule is available on line & course locations vary.
Additionally if you are former military and have access to a base, you can take the Total Control Inter-mediate course on a space available basis. Unfortunately they do not take trikes.
Street Masters Precision Cornering Workshop is based out of Corona and the course is held in Rosamond at the Willow Springs Race Track on Horsethief Mile. All their information is available on line. They do a trike class as well as a 2-wheel class.
The Honda Rider Education Center in Coulton is located close to the 215/10 freeway junction at 1301 Via Venita. Their phone # is 909-430-3000. The contact person is Gary Johnson and Mercedes does the class scheduling. The class is open to all GWRRA Members. The BRC-2 class (formerly known as the Experienced Rider Course or ERC) takes 4-5 hours primarily on the course and costs $75. There also is a 7 hour ERC class targeted to Military sport bike riders.
You can call and fit into an already scheduled class or a group of 5-6 can arrange their own group class. If a second instructor is available the class could be 10-12 students. Unfortunately, they do not take trikes.
We hope this information is helpful.
