Migration #19

REG­IS­TER HERE

WHAT’S A MIGRATION?

Come spend some qual­i­ty time with the Ibis fam­i­ly! We’ll ride bikes, eat great food, hang out and just have a good time amongst the tow­er­ing redwoods.

THIS IS A SPE­CIAL MIGRATION

Migra­tions have devel­oped an excel­lent rep­u­ta­tion over the years, and sell out quickly. 

Ibis offered women’s ride groups from all over the globe ear­ly access to reg­is­ter for this bonus Ibis Migra­tion, #19, August 18 – 21st, 2024. We had reg­is­tra­tion open for a month. 

We have a few spots left and now we are open­ing it up to our gen­er­al mail­ing list. You are wel­come to reg­is­ter just your­self, or bring up to three friends with you. 

Relat­ed Note: On March 19th, we opened reg­is­tra­tion for our annu­al Migra­tion, tak­ing place on August 15 – 18. There were 90 spots avail­able and we sold out in 7 min­utes. So we are open­ing this sec­ond Migra­tion to fill some of that demand! 

WHERE

Ibis Migra­tion Men­do­ci­no, our flag­ship event, takes place each year at the Men­do­ci­no Wood­lands, deep in the heart of Cal­i­for­ni­a’s red­wood forest.

GROUP CAMP­ING AND OUT­DOOR RECREATION

The Men­do­ci­no Wood­lands was built in the 1930s 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 of 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.

Meet Real Ibisians 

Work at much of Ibis will grind to a halt as we wel­come the women of Ibis to the Migration.

In atten­dance will be:

  • Roxy, Ibis co-own­er and indus­tri­al design­er extra­or­di­naire, who makes our bikes look beautiful

  • Saris, head of mar­ket­ing, will be shred­ding the gnar, snap­ping pho­tos and serv­ing up cocktails 

  • Sophie, from our pro­duc­tion depart­ment will be pulling shots of espres­so for you in the morning. 

  • Jane is fly­ing all the way from Asia; she keeps our fac­to­ries in line and makes sure our pro­duc­tion runs smooth­ly (yes, even from many time zones away

And maybe more, if we can tear them away from work for a few days!

VENUE AND ACCOMMODATIONS

Cab­ins at the Wood­lands are sim­ple, rus­tic and beau­ti­ful, with stone fire­places, small porch­es and views of the for­est below you. You must 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 assign you to a cab­in with one or two oth­er Migra­tors . If you’re com­ing with friends, just tell us their name(s) and we will put you 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. 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

"FAQs"

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 or rent a bike (see Rental Bikes, above). 

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?

Unfor­tu­nate­ly dogs are not allowed at the Woodlands.

Are kids invited?

Yes, rid­ers, hik­ers, hula hoop­ers and guests of all ages are wel­come! There are no spe­cif­ic kids activ­i­ties, but if your kid can ride 10 or so miles with 1000 feet of climb­ing, 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!)
