NSC Club Rides are free and open to the public. All riders from all skill levels are welcome. You need not be a member to ride, but you will be required to adhere to all Club Rules. Please review the Club Rules before attending a ride so you know what to expect.  Sunday rides are a great way to get out and enjoy your sport and meet some fellow enthusiasts along the way. We strive to make Sundays fun for everyone with destinations to a wide variety of Northern Nevada/Northern California destinations with ride routes that are what you want from a Sunday ride, lots of twisties!

We welcome riders from all skill levels and manufacturers. Join us on your Scooter, your Vespa, your Indian, Hog, or Bajaj. Your Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, Buell, Moto Guzzi, MV, Aprilia, BMW, Kawasaki, Bimota, Cagiva, Ducati, Triumph or anything with two wheels. Seriously, if you want to join us on a Hog and scrape your floorboards and pipes all day, you're more than welcome.  If you loose sight of the riders in front of you, don't feel as if you have to speed up in order to catch up. Ride your own ride, at a pace you are comfortable with - no one will get left behind.

2004/2005 Winter rides will be posted to the Message Board. Please review the rides you wish to join so you can familiarize yourself with the route. NSC Members will be present for all rides with the exception of  blind dates.

Rides originate from either Carson City or Reno/Sparks and will alternate between the two depending on the ride destination. While we strongly encourage you to fuel up before arriving, the group will stop by a gas station before the ride begins. After the Club Ride, many of us continue on and all are welcome to join us.

Please take a moment and consider submitting your Emergency Contact Information before joining a ride.
