Other bikes welcome other than Harleys?
ABATE is for All riders, All bikes....so, Yes! We welcome all bikes, not just Harleys.
How do I get to Too Broke?
Here's one way. Take I-17 to Exit 339 - Lake Mary Road / Mormon Lake. Head south off of the Exit onto Lake Mary Road. It's 21 miles to the Mormon Lake turnoff to the west. (There's one of those rustic type signs that says Mormon Lake unless someone steals the signage again, there will be a large sign that says Too Broke For Sturgis) Ride down Mormon Lake Road to the Event Entrance. Or, check a map for a back road trip. Lake Mary Road show as Forest Hwy 3 or 487 on most maps.
I am planning on attending the rally for the first time this year. Anything I need to do before I come up there?
Get your motor runnin', head out on the highway! Nope, with the exception of packing your ride, bringing your wallet and filling your tank...you can just show up.
Do I need to get our tickets in advance, or is the day of okay?
Nope, no pre-registration, at the gate will be fine.
What time does registration start on Friday?
Registration opens at 9 am Friday, in the campground at the event site.
Will registration be at the campground or lodge?
Registration is at the campground at the event site.
Do you accept credit/debit cards?
No we do not, however there are ATM machines available if you need cash, but we recommend you bring cash with you.
How can I get a camping space?
Camping at the Event Venue in the dry campground is included as part of the admission.
There are port-a pots and handwash stations in the dry campground and just a short walk away is a restroom facility and coin operated showers.
No 4-wheel vehicles will be allowed in the tent camping area. We will be providing free transportation from your vehicle to your campsite using trailers that will be running all day Friday and Saturday.
Are there going to be enough camp sites?
Camping will be first come-first serve, but the campground is fairly generous. We've got the whole dry campground. (If you've ever had the chance to go to something like the Redwood Run, you'll know that camping does get tight and cozy, but it's all good.)
No 4-wheel vehicles will be allowed in the tent camping area. We will be providing free transportation from your vehicle to your campsite using trailers that will be running all day Friday and Saturday.
Need to know is it OK to tent and bedroll?
Absolutely OK to tent and bedroll. Actually that's what it's all about. We're working hard to keep RVs and trailers in the grassy field and the support cages in a parking area http://www.toobrokeforsturgis.com/map.php so that there is plenty of shaded area for those of us that still ride with a tent and bedroll.
Is it possible to get there Thursday evening or earlier and be able to camp without having to move again the next morning?
Yes you can come Thursday and camp however we will be collecting registration money on Thursday and people must pay for the event to stay Thursday night. ABATE of Arizona has contracted to take control of the property Thursday, and needs to be paid. If you come before Thursday MLL will collect their camping fee.
What about getting a cabin or RV hookup?
Call Mormon Lake Lodge at (928) 354-2227. Mention ABATE for a 10% discount on cabins and RV hook-ups.
What if all the cabins and RV hookups at Mormon Lake Lodge are sold out?
The Field in the Event Venue will be open for trailer/RV dry camping and included as part of the admission. Here's a link to the Too Broke website page showing where we're setting up trailer/RV camping and we do ask that you set-up there.
