alyeska 50 Posted June 12, 2017 Ride starts in Borrego springs picking up another rider in ocotillo wells (iron door) we will meet at the circle at 0730 and KSU at 0800, if you don't like sand this is not for you, easy pace ride across the dez from Borrego to ocotillo wells, at OW we will pick up another rider at the iron door between 0800 and 0830 so this is an option for jumping on. We will run the tracks road to superstition mountain up and over the dune and out the other side, we will then ride the area until it gets too hot, be prepared for 107 after mid day have plenty of water. We will then head towards old hwy 80 and into ocotillo for lunch at red feather, after that we will decide which way to return back to Borrego/ocotillo wells. Our route back will either be canyon sin nombre to fish creek, the tracks at plaster city, or if too hot the road through shelter valley. Bikes must be plated for street use, bring a ton of water, tubes, etc. Because of the heat and remote area (this time of year) you must stay with the group on this ride. (no one left behind) .

Slaugo 35 Posted June 12, 2017 I e been out there once a week this spring. It was 111 three weeks ago and then cooled down to 100. I'd recommend from the Iron Door heading east to wash 80 AKA Payne road. Then head south to Super. A much more enjoyable ride and much more sand than the tracks road? Have fun, be safe.

I'd love to come...but its just going to be too hot! I still need to heat cycle the motor a few times...this is definitely my style of ride however. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
