McCTravis 6 Posted February 4, 2019 Hello, names Travis, I'm 29, live in Vista, and been riding for about 10 years. My rides a 2006 crf450x, used to have a 1993 cr250 that I raced District 38 on. I think I'm an intermediate/novice-expert rider, I can usually hold my own. Haven't been on really any "adv" rides, definitely want to get into over night camping off the bike. Not really into racing anymore but still like to do it every now and then, want to do D-37/WORCS. Really like doing dualsport rides organized or not, always choose the "hard route", well usually always. Bucket list rides include Tecate to Cabo and Moab. I work weekends, usually ride mid week, unless I plan a trip in advance and get time off. See you on the trail, brraap. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

erik_26 31 Posted February 4, 2019 Welcome to the forum, Travis.

There are several member that ride often during the week. I don't know how often they camp overnight during the week though. Hope to see you on the trails.

Cool, I saw your "Superstition Sunday" ride, was tempted to drive out there and meet up, just wasn't a "member" yet, so I couldn't communicate with you. Looked like a killer ride, I really like Superstition. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I want to try camping off the bike in the future, still need to get a lot of stuff first. I've seen some people do it, looks really cool, at least for one night.

Yeah dont overthink the overnight camping, im way overdue for 1 or 2 night camping trip. Post up a upcoming ride even if you dont know where to just available dates and enough of us will chime in. I have all my tools, tube and camping stuff in a 40litre saddlebag pretty small but have learned to not cook off bike, eat when i stop for gas, and only bring tent when rainy conditions. Best purchases are sleeping bag and pad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
