San Diego County Back Country Adventure Route

Stay behind the leader and the route is set. Any variation means not a part of the ride and will be segregated from the group. To me at least.

[ADV Bum 205]

No Rogue Riders or Lurkers who will show up on the day of the ride and hi-jack other riders or set the riding pace!

What exactly does that mean?

I you are not on the list and show up for the ride, you will be ridiculed and ostracised by the main pack.

Looks like lunch the first day is at the Hideout by Lake Henshaw. I'm thinking that we bring food for the evening at the camp. What about breakfast fruit and then stop in Julian for breakfast or should we have breakfast at the campsite? Up to you guys. For lunch on the second day I'm thinking Mananas Mexican in Alpine.

I think this is written very well and should be a motto except for the rogue thing. Lots of great peeps show up day of ride without announcement and the rest of the rules apply as stated. This should be copied and pasted on every ride unless otherwise noted.

"Ride any bike, as long you can keep up with the rest of the group

Bike must be in good mechanical condition, properly maintained and with good tires

Bring all the essential spare parts

This is not a race, the rider in front will be responsible for the rider behind him or her. Unless it’s obvious, stop at all Ys or Ts and wait for the next rider.

Stop before and after a water crossing, big ruts, and other hazards and make sure the rider in front and behind get through safely. Warn the person behind if needed.

No Rogue Riders or Lurkers who will show up on the day of the ride and hi-jack other riders or set the riding pace!

IT WILL BE THE RIDE LEADER OF EACH GROUP WHO WILL SET UP THE PACE."

They can show up, just not the rest of the sentence.

I'm posting this info here so that everyone has the correct date and times. I'm monitoring ADVRider, so if you join up on this site, it may take me a few days to see it.

Blake,

You missed a 1 post noob on a BMW G650 Xcountry over on ADVRider. He's a friend of mine

The intention is not to close the group off, rather...to paraphrase: if you show up unannounced, don't be a bastard and you're good to go. I'm all about group rides, but a basic level of respect for the hard work that goes into route planning and logistics is just proper etiquette.

That sounds good to me. I'm planning on boil-in-bag dinner and a light breakfast at camp just to get me started.

I also added Sprague Clutch to the list. Good catch.

Ah that makes sense. That explanation is much clearer, hehe.

[X-country-Rider 0]

The longest section between gas stations is about 75 miles. That's from Santa Ysabel to Julian the next day.

I found a used set of Touratech Zega Pro Panniers for sale in Canada. Looks like they'll be here in time to try out on the trip!! I've always liked the Touratech panniers but i found them to expensive.

Is there a certain area to reserve a camp spot?

Ahhhhhhh--now it makes sense! When you checked in on ADVRider, I couldn't figure out how an R80ST was going to work out. I didn't realize that you're riding FrankenSTein! Very nice!
