Event details

Newb friendly, family friendly.  Bring your motorcycle, your quad, you 4x4, your rally car, whatever!  

It's the most wonderful time of the year, at least if you're into desert riding.  The temps are down and riding should be great. 

I have a busy month, but I think I have my lady convinced to go out to Ocotillo Wells SVRA on the weekend of 19-20 November.  If you've never ridden there, it's got a good mix of everything the desert has to offer and is a decent place to take a dual sport ride to Borrego Springs or ride over to the shores of the lovely Salton Sea.  We are likely bringing the toy hauler, but OW is a good place to tent camp from because they have bathrooms and showers (bring quarters).  

I posted this in Family Oriented Rides because we raised our kids out here in the winter months and I still like to see kids riding.  So, bring your kids, your significant others or just yourself.  There will be a fire after the sun goes down and beverages will be consumed and lies will be told.  

I will probably be bringing my two stroke 250 and the wife's Rhino, so no dual sport riding for me but it's up to you to decide where you'd like to ride.

Will likely stage somewhere near Main Street, we like to camp in "The Cove" area which is sort of behind Blow Sand Hill.  Will have to just play it by ear, because there's no real way to tell what area may be unoccupied when we show up.  I can bring a few stakes and cardboard signs to put out and I will update the site whenever we get there.

Here's a site with the map, Main Street to The Cove is shown in the lower left corner.

Just picked up an 01 DRZ. Stoked!  I’ll be there in my van. Might roll in on Friday too.

 

Nice looking bike.  You're going to hate those tires in the desert.

If you have some firewood, bring a bit along.  I usually bring enough to have a couple small fires, if a few people bring some we can have a bigger fire for longer.
