The Quail Motorcycle Gathering, which takes place May 17 on the lawn of the beautiful Quail Lodge and Golf Club in Carmel, California, is fast approaching, and we want to let people know that registration for the Cycle World Tour closes this Friday, May 9. Fewer than 10 spots remain open for this ride, which is a memorable 50-mile morning tour of the gorgeous Monterey Peninsula. Some people have said the Cycle World Tour—which takes place on Saturday morning the 17th—is the most fun you can have on the Monterey Peninsula for $50. We agree, and let it be known that our Cycle World "Best of Tour" trophy is a magnum of wine from a top-notch vineyard.

Better yet, you'll be joining two-time World Superbike Champion Doug Polen and other CW staffers on the ride, which departs from the Quail Lodge and Golf Club in Carmel and has a midway stop for coffee and a continental breakfast.

If you're showing your CW Tour bike in The Quail Motorcycle Gathering, you'll get extra recognition in judging. If you're not entered at The Quail, you can still participate in the ride and get a ticket into the event, plus park your bike in the CW display area right there on the grass. By participating in the ride, your bike becomes eligible for the Cycle World "Best of Tour" trophy, plus you'll also have the opportunity to demo products from event partners Cortech and Shoei.

Entry is limited to just 30 riders, so click HERE for a full schedule and more event information. Sign up now!
