Okay, for this one, since it's a moving event I added 3 different RSVP links so you can RSVP to the place you plan on being for that day/night.

Hope that's not too confusing and works to help organize things..

Just went through this area last week and wish I was still there, VERY nice riding.

Thanks Joe,

great idea as this is so close to the 4th of July I am expecting the true gathering to be in Burgess Jct. at the Bear Lodge

I am hoping to draw some more riders from the west and Canada that want to continue to NatSTOC
the event usually draws about 15-20 riders
This event offers only gathering spots... how you get there is up to you

there are so many good roads

check out the videos on the site

But some of us still have to work for a living. Gonna be hard to convince my boss I need to take off for both WeSTOC and BearSTOC!

Not really expecting a turnout in Billings but Free Beer in Burgess Jct. and pie at Bearcreek, MT... that'll bring 'em in

Not all of us get to do all three WeSTOC, BearSTOC, NatSTOC... hee hee

Trying to see if I can fit this in with NatSTOC but the dates mean I'll miss getting some great roads in as I come up from Houston through New Mexico and Colorado. Will still do most of the big rides, but will be two days behind you. So I'll miss your company and wise advise, but will enjoy the roads.

Don't forget the Pig Races in Bearcreek!!

I have secured a block of rooms at a $69 rate at Burgess Junction for July 7.

Ask for the BearSTOC rate

still working on the KOA's in Billings and Red Lodge

I will be riding up from the Denver area. Need to find an interesting route to Billings. Any suggestions would be appreciated. What must I do to secure a place to stay at all three places? I'm open to sharing a room in burgess. Considering Glacier Nathional Park on my way to NATSTOC. Looking forward to meeting everyone.
