I will be there!

For CDT I think I am fine topping out at 65-70, not planning on riding to/from trail. Whats my cost here?

@DSM8 and Goofy Footer, I don't think I have been bottoming out much yet because I am not hitting anything to fast or doing any big drops but I would love an adjustment for when I need to carry gear. Maybe before the trip I will do that suspension upgrade

I am not sure what gear I am running, 2 previous owners but I assume stock.

Hello, My name is Caleb Linden Just picked up a 2006 DRZ 400 with 9k miles, desert tank and a seat concepts a month or so ago! I hosted the FaceBook ride at Black Mountain truck trail this past Saturday. I have now done Nate Harrison Grade a couple times, Otay Mountain Truck trail and single track, and the Black Mountain truck trail! I am 24 and looking to do the Continental Divide Trail next year so taking time to get acquainted with the bike, build up my gear slowly, and learn to work on the bike. This is my first dual sport and am loving it more and more as I get used to having a 300 pound bike under my legs haha. I'm thoroughly impressed with those adventure riders on big bike haha can't wait till I get there! I will take ANY used gear you want to sell me. Doing this on a budget. Let me know if you are in the area and have any trail recs! So far everything seems to be an hour plus away and I prefer not to ride for obvious reasons being 6'3 220lb on a drz makes the freeway no fun. I have a lot of backpacking gear and experience camping hiking so excited to add a bike to the mix. Nice to meet you all! Sincerely, Caleb Linden
