Current Plans for the Event:

The adventure starts with getting there—north, south, east or west—there will be some epic rides (or drives if you must) laid out to get you to HighPipe Base Camp at China Peak Mountain Resort. You can view Rever's suggested routes below.

HighPipe takes place at the end of California Highway 168, which is the start of epic back roads and cool points of interest. Local townies and mountain trolls will have a list of the absolute best mountain rides and will have them ready to share at the event.
Tame that steed. The Motorcyclist Riding Rodeo is a series of skill courses that will allow you try your bike (better yet—your buddy's) to find out just what it can do off the tarmac.

Show that thang! From perfect preservations to full on customs of motorcycles new and old, everyone is welcome to join the show. Additionally Cycle World, Street Chopper and Cruiser magazines will be inviting some of today's top builders to share their work and join in on a ride or two.
Ride the ski slope! The Bridgestone Tire Hillclimb tracked by Rever will give riders the chance to traverse the twists and turns of China Peak's world famous slopes in the first-ever HighPipe Hill Climb! This will be a time trial with spectators able to view the course from hiking trails, the deck of the mountain top Buck Horn Bar & Grill, or Ski Lift 6! (Snow permitting)
Try it! Honda and BMW will be offering demo rides throughout the HighPipe weekend! Honda will have a fleet of their super fun and highly customizable Rebel 300 and 500 models. BMW will be on hand with R nineT Scrambler models for you to try as well.
Check it out. Bell Helmets and others will be on hand to let you get "all up inside that" with their latest products.
Eat. China Peak will have several food options available throughout the day and evening.
Brew? Yes! When the riding is done, a generous selection of microbrews and other libations will await at the two China Peak lounges. In fact, China Peak offers three beers brewed for and exclusively available at China Peak. Try Garage Sales Pale Ale, Peak Pilsner and Sequoia Powday Day.
Sleep. China Peak offers private rooms of various sizes as well as extensive camping areas for both RV and tent camping. Worry not, tenters. Bathrooms and showers are available and conveniently located.
More epic and fun activities will soon be added. Stay tuned for more.

“We’re looking forward to a really fun event at the first-ever HighPipe Motorcycle Festival,” commented Corey Eastman, Director of Consumer Engagement for Bonnier Motorcycle Group. “Simply because it’s all about the ride. The fun, the camaraderie and the adventure all start with swinging a leg over a bike and getting out there. And the ride is only a part of what HighPipe has to offer. We’re going to have a lot of fun at China Peak over the weekend.”

HighPipe is being made possible through the support of GEICO Motorcycle, American Honda, Bell Helmets and more. HighPipe promises to be a unique opportunity for riders. The central attraction of HighPipe remains the ride itself. Hundreds of miles of scenic rides await, where you can explore points of interest laid out around the mountain on detailed routes, accessible to both modern-day and vintage machines. HighPipe is designed to let you create your own adventure from the seat of your motorcycle.
