unhuskyman 0 Posted December 26, 2012 Afry, I know I talked to you about this on Saturday. But should I take the big bike or the little one? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Afry 1 Posted December 27, 2012 Afry, I know I talked to you about this on Saturday. But should I take the big bike or the little one? I would lean towards the big one (strom?) you have good skills and the trails are not bad at all. I just checked the lower end of Rodriguez today and the sand is hard packed from the rains. We are running down Culp/Grapevine on purpose for the big bikes so no sandy hill climbs. Fuel may be close on the Husky (85 miles) lol. I'm on the 950 but it has a bald rear - which I think is the norm.... 106 miles total with 34 miles of dirt (11 of which is Black Canyon graded dirt road).

tvscum 43 Posted December 28, 2012 so i have about 200 miles under my belt. you guys think i can do this ride? Did you get any more dirt time? Do they make radiator crash protectors for the DRZ400? Those might be a consideration. I am in on this ride BTW! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leoffensive 0 Posted December 28, 2012 No and yes lol. I think it would be wise to get my protection first Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
unhuskyman 0 Posted December 28, 2012 I don't see why this wouldn't work for you. Most of the trails are mellow, and I believe most people will be on big bikes, myself included. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Afry 1 Posted December 28, 2012 so i have about 200 miles under my belt. you guys think i can do this ride? The bike can do it no problem just as it is. I haven't seen you ride so I don't know but think you would be just fine. I routed this ride to be easy for big bikes so a DRZ should be no problem even with a newbie. No technical sections but a little sand at the beginning of Jasper, the end of Grapevine and beginning of Rodriguez which will be good for you to learn (short sections). I can give you some pointers before the ride - we won't leave you behind! Weather looks good - chance of showers later in the day but we may hit some misty weather on higher elevations so dress warm - mid to low 50's for most of the ride and mid to low 40's when we pass through Julian.

unhuskyman 0 Posted December 29, 2012 Whats the expected turnout. As for LEOffensive, show up, its the only way to be a better rider! I will have my 2meter, and can run sweep if needed to keep everyone together. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Afry 1 Posted December 29, 2012 Whats the expected turnout. As for LEOffensive, show up, its the only way to be a better rider! I will have my 2meter, and can run sweep if needed to keep everyone together. Hard to say but we have riders also coming from the CA Adv Rider site and Meet Up - 2 from Orange County (one on DL1000). As for the 2m/sweep that's great may take you up on that! Planning to regroup @ top of Black Canyon, Beginning of Culp, end of Grapevine, beginning of Rodriguez with a lunch stop at ridge on Rodriguez where it crosses the PCT. So pack a lunch!
