Cochise County AZ Ride Coordination

Looking out from the saddle I could see a good chunk of my route, but not where it entered the canyon yet.








After excellent riding the route dropped in.








The four wheel drive tracks turned around here.
































The knot is now tight!
Now sitting on my tracks from Sunday.















Another great day of riding in Cochise county.


​

Forty Nine consecutive dirt miles out of a Seventy Seven mile total.
Really old no BS STL sign on the post, and the new PC sign and box.




















Looking straight up Tres, anticipating the sand.











​

Is the sand worse this year or is driving a 330+ pound bike the reason I am getting worked?



:eek1
BOTH!
And I like sand!


I had been looking at a loop on the map that would get me out of a lot of the sand.



























It is a good route.




​

dawg, you're killin me... this stuff is all striking distance from my driveway and I havent got time to go find it!

I took the 4runner up to whitewater to see the cranes with kiddo and momma, and was tempted to trek out off gleeson onto some two track Ive never been on. Momma was unimpressed with the idea.

Great pictures and report! I miss living in Southern AZ.

With such a short window of four months here for me, a concentrated effort is needed to the get things done that I plan all summer in CO.

PM any time you do want to get out.

I chatted with a few local lads for a few, they told me the trail I was going to take has a cabin.



















With a concrete floor, bead board walls, T and G ceiling and a tin roof, this place was very comfortable at one time.




















​

Mines were above.













Virga in late December.







Looking through the Jhonny Lyon hills at the mighty Rincon peak.



​

Out of the hills, I rolled through Dobsons ranch then across the west side of Allen flats to the head of what the local lads had called Scorpion canyon.
And more nice sand.







The gravel, rock, and sand has been moved allover the place from the great monsoons this summer.


























This Juniper root must have had to go around a big boulder that is no longer there.

Hey guys -

Just wanted to encourage y'all to come riding in March (20-23) for our 5th year of Dual Sport Desert Daze.

Thanks!

Thanks for the dates Raven!

Missed last year but planning this year.

I did say nice sand.







Great gravel.







And big rocks.












































​

The trail.

































I know this canyon by the name on the map, but the local lads had the landmark pegged!












The sharp end of a scorpion.



​

The last tough spot was better than the last time.







The canyon had shook, rattled, and rolled!




















































​

Back in the sunshine.













Rollin down the ridges to the river road.







Done with the dirt.


​

fantastic ride!!!

Great pics and reports. Wish I had the time to get out there more.

Wasn't this the place where you were gonna pick up a few of them red rocks for me?...

Or are there interesting red rocks in multiple places?

Big Bump






I've been busy here http://advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=942643



I'll be doing a local Benson ride on the 17th if any riders are interested.

After dealing with this for ten days, I was ready to finish a project as soon as I hit the desert.​
