Temperatures will be perfect at the higher elevations.

Who is interested in riding out to the event from So Cal. There is a large number of riders from SD and OC. We can coordinate a meeting place on the I15 before Cajon Pass and ride out together if you want to.

Who is interested?
We can have more then one group too.

Wednesday Group: Jesse
Thursday Group:?
Friday Group:?

What do you think?

I will most likely ride out on Wednesday so that I can be at Zion Ponderosa Wed night or Early Thursday coordinating setup.

Thanks,
Jesse

I have new and exciting cross country trails planned. Spent a lot of time last season maping new trails. We should hit close to 300 + miles with very little pavement. It will have 3 different wimp out exits. For those who need to ride back to base camp on the pavement. The plan is to leave right from base camp on dirt If the trails are open. They should be with no problems this year because of the poor snow fall conditions. We will be climbing to around 11,000 ft in elevation. This ride will be the best of central and southern utah has to offer. Will post maps soon.

I'm in for sure, jesse....this was one of the best events I've attended, and I travel/ride alot.... great place, great people, amazing riding....here's a couple pics....I'd love to do another bike pack trip to toroweep from there....

[bubbletron]

Not going to miss this year! I'm in.


Thanks Jesse for putting this together...

[DrJRosen]

I would like to attend!

Thanks to my new riding pals, Ds Fox, & Maniac, I've rediscovered whats important in life, and its NOT my office!
I will be crossing an age threshold the month before this ride and I could either submit my application for Age-restricted housing or do these adventures!

So in order to ride the most popular dirt routes, would this be KLR, country similar to Death Valley Days or more like Desert Dash, good for my XR 650R plated?

Also, if I don't need hook-ups for my Truck camper, can I park/stay with the "Tent dry camping sites" ?

Thanks Dr J

I will check with Zion Ponderosa later today and see if they offer an AARP/Senior discount.

I would say that most of the riding is on double track and graded dirt roads, more similar to Death Valley rides. Wide open spaces, not to technical. GS and KLR trails. I would bring the bike most similar to the bikes that your buddies are riding. You will be fine on a XR650 for all trails. If you plan on hitting Lake Powell or Bryce via highway, you may want a KLR, might be more comfy.
