The Gold Country Fairgrounds in Auburn will be our home for the 2018 NorCal AIDS Cycle. There is space to camp on the Main Lawn for all participants, hot showers and the NCAC Social Center (Sierra Hall) where we meet for meals, social activities and generally hang out when we’re not riding/working!
After arriving back from your day on the road, showered and slipped into something more comfortable, you are free to enjoy snacks, massages, chiropractic treatments, and compare stories from your day.
A fully catered buffet-style dinner is available about an hour after the route closes. This gives everyone a chance to relax for a few minutes before chowing down on some of the best food (or pretty darn close – especially after a long day on the road!) you’ve ever tasted.
Each night after dinner, the “Evening Presentation” is brought to you by the NCAC Organizing Committee, who will provide thoughtful entertainment and information. Typically, NCAC beneficiaries share a little bit about their programs and community influence, the crew reports on the highlights of the day, prizes are awarded in a variety of categories (that are often dependent on the highlights of the day!), and several people share personal stories. Get ready to laugh, cry, and reach out and touch someone.
After this, you’ll be ready to hit the hay – whether you have set up in the “tent city” or opted to stay in a RV or nearby hotel/moel room, sleep will come quickly! If you listen closely, you might hear folks making quiet music as you drift off.
