The Annual Last Ride of the Year - Stagecoach XVI
will celebrate our 16 year tradition of inviting riders from
around the country to reunite with old friends, meet new ones, and enjoy a
great southern country style buffet lunch.
Riders typically start showing
up throughout the morning and fill up the parking lot by noon. Most years the lot will be almost empty
again by 1:30 or 2:00 pm as riders head home to complete their last ride of
the year. |

In addition to the traditional lunch buffet, the
gracious staff at the Café will serve a breakfast buffet for early
arrivals. Early risers should be able to start enjoying coffee and breakfast
around 8:00 am. |

We are also continuing the tradition of giving out a
few awards at the RTE. There will be a
sign in sheet at the door and you must register to qualify for the
awards. We want to encourage long distance riding, because
that is what we do and that is how The Annual Last Ride of the Year got
started, so we will have an award for the longest distance ridden to the
event. Be prepared to back up your
claim with Iron Butt style receipts if asked. We want to encourage new riders to enjoy what
motorcycling has to offer, so we have an award for the youngest licensed
rider to ride their motorcycle to the event.
We had to exclude passengers a few years ago, because some folks were
getting pretty competitive and we did not want to eventually see someone
pulling up with an infant seat strapped on the back of a bike. JJ We want to encourage older riders to continue to
ride, so we have an award for the oldest rider that rides their motorcycle to
the event. Please note that trikes are welcome at the Stagecoach, but they do not
qualify for awards. We also like vintage motorcycles and want to
encourage riders to keep older bikes running and providing their riders with
open road enjoyment, so we have an award for the oldest bike ridden from the
rider’s home to the event. We hope you will make plans to help us celebrate our
16th year of good food and good fun by attending the 2012 version
of The Annual Last Ride of the Year - Stagecoach XVI in Stockton, Alabama to
enjoy some southern hospitality at its finest … and hopefully add The Annual
Last Ride of the Year to your list of “must do” riding traditions. |

Stagecoach RTEs.
