3 days of freezing goodness ...
Zubb posted a topic in 1 to 3 Day Ride Write-Ups, Stories and Photos
Rumor had it this would be a good one. You never really know with some group rides. So I signed up with 30 soon to be friends for a moto camping 3 day weekend on February 10-12. Wasn't any 'risk' really because it was to be sponsored by Vey's and Klim, and they are good people who know how do it up right. The challenge was going to be weather, and which tires to run. Destination was undisclosed. You'd find out when you signed in Friday morning to launch. We knew it would be high desert, and it was going to be cold. And rain. And 5.5 hours of pavement to get there. So I decided on running the Tourances instead of knobbies and would air down when necessary. Friday 8am at Vey's and 7 out of 30 show up. The forecast is rain, cold, then more rain and cold. Campsite destination was disclosed as Tuttle creek outside of Lone Pine. The Saturday ride would be Death Valley. YES!! We took a somewhat indirect route up until 79 forced us finally onto HY15 North. Then the long slog up 15 and 395 to Lone Pine. The Klim van beat us there and set up a nice kitchen and had the fire roaring which was great... because it rained off and on much of the way, and the wind up there never stopped. Jason and Steve were perfect hosts always keeping a fire going, and food pumping out of the 'kitchen' with plenty of beer and water to boot. These guys rocked it. Even the coffee was awesome! Camp was set, toasts were made, food and beer was inhaled... and the ice cold wind never stopped blowing down from those mountains all evening long. To be continued ...- 12 replies
