Mar. 28-31, 2013 Death Valley Noob's Rally

never been there but would love to check it out this winter. let's do it paul.

should be no problem, will get some of the guys to lead more rides.

Sorry nwemerys but I had to move you to #53 with jwoltz. I hope it's OK.

I'll lead a nOOb ride Saturday Chloride Cliffs - Beatty (lunch) - Leadfield - Titus Canyon - PSR.

I'll add it to the sign up list...

EDIT: ride added

great loop

I'm sure you already have it Joel, payment sent yesterday. Bizz should have her payment in shortly.

Just so everyone knows I'll be out there for the week, probably arriving Monday night. I have a few banditio's that will be trailing us, about 5-8 other peeps. If you want to come early make your own camp arrangements, coordinate with Joel, but book directly with Paniment Springs. Come by and say hello!

In. Hope I don't have ot use my spare tubes! Still need to figure out my OBA (I have an idea on that one...)

Signed Up!!!! Thank you!!!!

I added Cerro Gordo for Saturday. Johngil has said he'll lead again if he can get the days off from his new job.

Ken, Todd, Spa, Rich (2wheels)...who else?? Joel??

I will be there all week too, so see you then. I'm in the same place as I was last year.

Ken

This one is on my bucket list. Maybe in the spring time.

chris, throw tim and i in with you big dogs

thanks
bill

I'm in for this one! If Johngil can't get off, I think you (Chris) should volunteer to lead us!

Ken

I have gotten a few pm's about my little ride on Thursday from peeps that are worried they won't arrive in time for the ride or wanting to do it earlier. Since the ride is but one of many, others must have the same questions/concerns about other group rides. So here is my take on the matter; disclaimer, take it for what it is worth....those that have been around me at these events know I have the attention span of a hamster and the riding ability of a circus monkey .

Group rides are great. You get to ride with people you otherwise wouldn't meet, you build friendships, you have a lot of help, you don't have to worry too much about route planning and if you are lucky enough to be around me; motorcycle mayhem photos are plentiful!

On the other side of the coin there has never beena time that I haven't been able to strike out on an exploration if I miss a group ride. There are 200 people at this event and many of them have a lot of experience in DV. Walk around the camp and mingle. Chances are there is someone or group of someones that are going to ride somewhere you have a hankerin to go. Barring that, you can also look at some maps, download routes from the first page or just follow your front wheel to your destination. However, if you do the latter, find a rider or two that want to go also....safety in numbers.

Either way, you will have fun. The usual disclaimer about being self sufficient applies to both types of explorations...carry own tubes, parts/tools, water, etc... Most importantly, let someone know where you are going so we can mount a recovery/search effort if you fail to show back up at camp...

thanks guys for pitching in and giving good advices....


keep them going and those get us points....

TrailTech is donating these...

Man I'd better get in just for the raffle!

Hey Joel and Ersin ... my payment's in. Thanks for the awesome coordination again this year. Very psyched for another epic nOObs weekend!

In List #114: RIDING IN - VINCE (VPANNEPACKER) - R + MC3 + D3 = $77 ($20 + $15 + $42) - gsa1150
Preferred Camp Site: As close as possible to camp site #2 - i.e close to In List 57 - seth (lifeofreilly) – RV3 (#2)

I'd be in if it wasn't full already. I'll bet there would be enough interest to have 2 groups.

I am in for an RV dry camp. There are 2 guys with a pickup sharing the spot and staying in the RV . I am little vague on what the fee would be for their stay.
Thanks for any clarification.

Added you on Paul.

Geez, that thing filled up fast. I opened up to 20, we'll just split it on departure. We'll need another ride leader and sweep. We can divide up by bike type, skill, buddies, etc.
Can put us at the mine and trams together, will be fun. Lunch at the tram cabin!!
