Cambria Rally When and Where

Cambria 2026 the 24th anniversary will be starting Thursday, July 30, 2026.  Motel and event registration is OPEN NOW for your rally attendance, room registration and to order a t-shirt.

NEWS - NEWS - NEWS - The Cambria Rally ground zero will move to the COAST RIDERS INN right on Hwy 1 in San Simeon!  The event will include the usual meetups, group rides, drink refreshments, Friday chili dinner, Saturday BBQ, slow race tournament and ending with a draw prize give-away - with other fun, and of course - socializing around the NEW fire pit.  Registration includes refreshments, chili and barbecue dinners, a ride pin, participation in the group ride - and an optional t-shirt can be ordered.

The Event

Cambria was originally started by the NorCal Presidents as a way for the "New" Hinckley Bonneville owners and enthusiasts of all British motorcycles from both Northern and Southern California to meet each other in person.  Attendees have come from all over besides - the East Coast, Pacific Northwest and even Canada.  The chemistry and vibe for this incredible event has been always been laid back, fun and exciting.

Registration

Go to the "Register" page at the top of the page or in the Quick links to the upper right.

Fees

The registration fee is collected to pay the costs of the website, organizing the event and meals (other than the donated food), beverages water/soda/beer, ride support, equipment transport and some of the draw prizes.  T-shirt price is set equal to cost. Sponsors donate additional draw prizes (we are looking for additional prize sponsors for 2026).  Overall we look to break even.  If we realize a profit we will donate to a local Cambria charity (several candidates are being considered now and final decision will be posted.)

Riding In

We've got roadside assistance sponsorship from Russ Brown Motorcycle Attorneys, sign up for ride protections with BAM.

Lodging
The plan for lodging is for ALL ATTENDESS to lodge together at our sponsor motel - the Coast Riders Inn.  They will reserve the entire motel for our event alone.  Good motorcycle people, the inn is run by Buddy (a fellow Triumph motorhead) and his wife Jane.

You are generally responsible for your other meals during the rally other than the sponsored Friday chili dinner and Saturday BBQ.  The chili dinner is sponsored by Moto Kustoms and the BBQ meal sponsored by Full Circle Fabrications and is included with your registration.  You can identify if you require a vegetarian option. If joining for the Saturday dinner only, we've added an option to register for Saturday, only.  There is a breakfast buffet registration option when you register to have a local restaurant cater a simple buffet style breakfast with eggs and sausage/bacon - and Coast Riders always offers coffee and pasties with the room.  Lunch on Saturday will be together (at your own cost) on the group ride.

Ride Pins

For 2026, we will be once again offering commemorative ride pins included with your registration.

Event T-Shirts
T-shirts are offered as an optional add-on to your registration at the Registration page.

Schedule of Events

Thursday July 30th, 2026 - some attendees start arriving at Coast Riders  Inn.  No official events, just hang out and socialize at Coast Riders Inn, probably taking dinner in town and reminisce at the fire pit afterwards with some beverages recapping the journey coming in.

Friday July 31st, 2026 - "Dog Run"  Good News!  Caltrans has said that Hwy 1 is planned to be fully open up the coast as of March 2026!  Normally any attendees at Cambria on Thursday will ride North up Hwy 1 to Bixby Bridge to meet any Northern Cal people coming on Friday, around 11:00AM.  Then go to get lunch at Napenthe cafe.  Get gas in Big Sur, not at any of the tiny towns!  An alternate meetup will be arranged if PCH is closed such as we have done the last several years.

Saturday Aug. 1st, 2026 - Main Group Ride 9:00 AM - 1:00 PM.

The main ride leaves from the Coast Riders Inn at 9:00 AM.  We will have lunch at the Paso Robles Brewing on Spring Street (at 4th) in Paso Robles.  A great place which is looking forward to hosting us - great food, great beer, great location with reserved shaded motorcycle parking area.

GROUP RIDE PLAN - TBD - Should probably end at the Paso Robles Brewery for lunch.

After lunch we will return to the Coast Riders Inn (by your own route choice) for the afternoon activities and competitions such as a Slow Race from 4:00-5:00PM with the BBQ @ 5:30 PM, and draw prizes start at 7:00 PM. Fire pit socializing afterwards, of course.

Sunday Aug. 2nd, 2026 - no events, but we will have our farewell breakfast and final words at the Coast Riders Inn indoor pool room.  Then attendees head home in groups or alone - ride/drive safe!

Your Bike
Although the Cambria Rally was started by owners of Hinckley Triumph Bonnevilles, riders of any motorcycle are welcome to join us.  We strongly encourage you to bring your Hinckley Bonneville, Speedmaster, America, Scrambler, SE, T100, T120, Thruxton, Speed Twin, Street Twin, Street Cup, Bobber or another British motorcycle or their "offspring".  Oh hell, just get there on a bike!  However you can, you are perfectly welcome to show up on something else, and riders often do.  We're here to have a great time - not bash bikes.  The theme includes "fans and friends" of classic style British bikes.

Terms
Please remember to be courteous at the Cambria Rally.  Motorcycling is by its very nature more risky than traveling by car, and you are encouraged to ride your own ride, obey the law, make sure your bike is in excellent mechanical condition, is currently registered and insured and that you wear safety gear at all times.  For Covid-19 please follow what health measures are comfortable for you.  DO NOT COME IF YOU HAVE ANY COVID-19 SYMPTOMS.  YOUR REGISTRATION WILL BE FULLY REFUNDED.

We're all adults and are responsible for our own safety.   Visit our Rules page for more info.
