Covered in Dust

On all the BDR’s I’ve done 4X4’s are fine. There was just one section in Idaho that had a motorcycle only section. Pretty sure there was an easy go around. I’ll probably take my wife on a few sections of some BDR’s in the near future in my new off-road rig. CiD

We got froze out in either late September or early October. Can’t remember exactly, but it was a freak cold front that moved in so we had to bail about a third of the way through. They suggest doing it in 2 different rides, half in the summer and half in the winter or something like that. It would be luck to get the whole ride in at once without either it being really hot or too cold during part of it. Both times we were going to do it we missed a Goldilocks window by about a week. I may try again next fall. This was the 1st attempt. Loren tells about the 2nd attempt below. CiD

KJ6NUH expired and didn’t bother renewing it because I only use it on the bike.

We need a Kug Mystery Ride. If you know you know. CiD

I would have liked to join in on this ride but I’ll be in the middle of the NVBDR. Tried to do it last year but temps in the teens and wind in excess of 50mph had us changing direction mid ride. CiD

That’s awesome, it’s so nice when the planets align and you get a great shot. I know professionals work for hours or days to get a perfect shot, and sometimes plan for months to get a shot like that.

Great write up. Makes me want to go back and do it a 3rd time. CiD

Going to knock out NV soon. Tried last year and froze. Probably hit CA this winter also. I’ve ridden about 80% of the California route but never all at once. The BDR crew asked me if I was planning on doing any of the east coast routes. I told them probably not, I still want to knock out Wyoming and maybe Washington next year. CiD

From what I remember the temps were fine the whole ride. We did hit a storm at the Colorado border that was interesting for a few hours. We trailered to some city and stayed overnight in a hotel where we left the truck until our return. I don’t remember what city but maybe someone else will chime in.

Dude! How long are you in town? Long enough to grab a few beers?

Let’s get Ted to host us overnight. He makes a mean Manhattan

I’ve got a meme for you and you won’t mistake it for passive aggressive 😂 It’s 1/2 of a peace sign. I really don’t give a hoot about memes, I just don’t care for arbitrary rules. Do you want to ride Big Bear if we get a little cooling up there? Covered in Rules
