WHAT

Come ride and hang out with Ibis own­ers, friends and fam­i­ly among tow­er­ing redwoods.

WHERE

Our Flag­ship Migra­tion, The Ibis Migra­tion Men­do­ci­no takes place each year at the Men­do­ci­no Wood­lands, deep in the majes­tic red­woods just a touch out­side of Men­do­ci­no California. 

GROUP CAMP­ING AND OUT­DOOR RECREATION

The Men­do­ci­no Wood­lands was built in the 1930’s by the Works Progress Admin­is­tra­tion and Civil­ian Con­ser­va­tion Corps as part of Pres­i­dent Roosevelt’s New Deal Projects. 46 of these Recre­ation Demon­stra­tion Areas were built in the Unit­ed States with the Wood­lands being the only one built in Cal­i­for­nia, the only one built in a Red­wood for­est, and one of only two built west of the Rock­ies. The Wood­lands has con­tin­u­ous­ly served its orig­i­nal pur­pose (group camp­ing and out­door edu­ca­tion) unin­ter­rupt­ed and vir­tu­al­ly unal­tered since open­ing in 1938. 

We are hon­ored to be able to stay in this incred­i­ble and his­toric camp.

Riding among big boys Large

WHEN

Thursday August 15th @ 5 PM to mid-day Sunday August 18th, 2024. Show up Thursday night. Food and activities start first thing Friday morning (snag some dinner in Boonville or in the town of Mendocino on your way up). We have the camp until Sunday afternoon, so we'll be able to ride as much as we want. Breakfast and lunch are included Sunday.

WHY

Because the riding is killer, the setting is beautiful, your cell phone won't work, there's no internet, almost no electricity, and this is the birthplace of Ibis. Back in 1981, Ibis was founded by Scot Nicol right next to the Mendocino Woodlands (there was no internet then either but he did have electricity most of the time).

BACK FOR 2024

  • Chef Rob Hunter and his team will be back by popular demand to keep you fueled to the hilt!
  • Chuck and friends will be serving their delicious cocktails on Friday and Saturday afternoons.
  • Mendocino Coast Cyclists will be guiding and disseminating deep forest knowledge.


WHAT TO EXPECT

Three days of glorious loamy singletrack riding deep in the redwood forest of Mendocino.

VENUE AND ACCOMMODATIONS

Cab­ins at the Wood­lands are sim­ple, rus­tic and beau­ti­ful, with lit­tle bal­conies and views of the for­est below you. The cab­ins have fire­places too. Note that you need to bring your own bed­ding.

There are 4 cots per cab­in. Each has a foam sleep­ing pad. Did we men­tion that the accom­mo­da­tions were rus­tic? Well they are, and you might con­sid­er bring­ing a bit more padding for the bed.

A short walk from each cab­in is a show­er and toilet. 

If you’re com­ing solo, we will be assign­ing you to a cab­in with one or two oth­er Migra­tors (but most like­ly one). If you’re com­ing with friends, just tell us their name and we will put you guys in the same cab­in or pod of cab­ins if you’re a full on con­gre­ga­tion (we looked it up, the col­lec­tive noun for mul­ti­ple Ibis­es is a congregation).

VAN LIFE

We love our Sprinter/​Camper peo­ple. There is plen­ty of room for your rig, which is an increas­ing­ly pop­u­lar option. You can use our group bathing/​toilet facil­i­ties too. 

COSTS

$1200 per per­son gets you in on all the action.
Note: for you returnees, we’ve elim­i­nat­ed the cab­in buy-out options, at the same time reduced the num­ber of atten­dees, so we can def­i­nite­ly get you in a cab­in (or cab­ins) with the oth­er migrator(s) of your choice.

Sprint­er Dwellers: $1050 per person

Non-rid­ing par­tic­i­pants: $975

Kids 6 – 12: $750

Kids 2 – 5 $500


"FAQ's"

Do I need to own an Ibis to participate? 

No, you don’t have to own an Ibis. We are accept­ing both cur­rent and future Ibisians into the mix. You will need to bring a bike though. 

Can I bring my e‑bike?

No, e‑bikes are not allowed in Jack­son Demon­stra­tion State For­est, where we will be riding.

Can I bring my dog?

No, dogs are not allowed in the Men­do­ci­no Woodlands.

What are the accom­mo­da­tions like?

Guests will be stay­ing in rus­tic red­wood cab­ins, all are on the Nation­al His­toric Reg­istry so it’s like sleep­ing in a muse­um. Cab­ins are sim­ple and beau­ti­ful, with bal­conies and views of the for­est below you. They have no elec­tric­i­ty and you won’t need to charge your cell phone, because there is no cov­er­age. Best to have your expec­ta­tions set on camp­ing, rather than a 5 star hotel.

Each cab­in has its own lit­tle fire­place and four sin­gle cots with thin foam mat­tress­es. You sup­ply your own bed­ding (twin sheets or a sleep­ing bag are best on the cots). It’s chilly and humid at night deep in the woods, think low 50’s. A short walk from each cab­in is a show­er and toi­let. Some adjoin one oth­er cab­in, oth­ers are stand-alone. Show­er rooms have electricity.

Are kids invited?

Yes, rid­ers, hik­ers, hula hoop­ers and guests of all ages are wel­come! There are no spe­cif­ic kids activ­i­ties, but we have easy rides that kids can do. If your kid can ride 10 or so miles, we’ll have a ride for them. Kids under 12 will need to have a par­ent with them on the ride, and all chil­dren under 5 need to have a par­ent with them at all times.

How can I con­tact you with questions?

Email migration@​ibiscycles.​com and we’ll do our best to shoot a response back with­in a day. Once we set foot in the Wood­lands mid­day on Wednes­day August 14th though, we’ll be out of cell phone and email access (yay!)
