Crawdaddy 96 Posted November 13, 2008 I'm thinking I'd like like to head out and do THIS ride sometime in January.....tentative date is 1/9-11 I'll probably be trailering for this ride regardless of which bike I decide to take........really have no interest in slabbing it from here to Barstow.....or riding a ~200 mile loop on Sat followed by another ~200 miles of BORING superslab to get home (if I choose to come home Sat night.....)

piratemonkey 0 Posted November 13, 2008 I'm totally game for this. I think the DRZ would enjoy it mightily. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Strega 0 Posted November 13, 2008 That loop looks pretty slick. I have people in Ridgecrest if ya wanted to stay over night on Sat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zenosan 2 Posted November 13, 2008 Haven't decided on a weekend yet, but I'm thinking I'd like like to head out and do THIS ride sometime in January. I'd probably head out Friday night and drive to the Victorville/Adelanto area. Then wake up at O-Dark thirty on Sat., drive over to Kramer Junction area, unload, ride the loop, load up, drive home Sat. night or possibly stay in Ridgecrest on Sat night and ride around a bit in the area on Sunday morning ( Trona Pinnacles, etc.) before heading home......I'll re-post once I'm more set on the timeframe/gameplan.... I'll probably be trailering for this ride regardless of which bike I decide to take........really have no interest in slabbing it from here to 4 corners.....or riding a ~200 mile loop on Sat followed by another ~200 miles of BORING superslab to get home (if I choose to come home Sat night.....) Hi Chris I have some free time between semesters in January. I might be interested in this if it fits. Would you be interested in doing it during the week? Otherwise I have classes on Friday nights once Spring semester starts. Don Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have been wanting to see most of those places, keep me posted. 200 miles with a large group might be a challenge. But I always like a challenge.

Crawdaddy 96 Posted November 13, 2008 200 miles with a large group might be a challenge. But I always like a challenge. Ken Good point, but it sounds like it's a very easy 200 miles (fire roads, dry lake bed, paved roads) and there's a bailout at the Husky Monument.....

Bagstr 288 Posted November 13, 2008 Crawdaddy, Hey, this looks like a ride the Orange Monster wouldn't slow the group down. I'll hope to join in the fun. Parking @ Kramer Jct. makes me worry. Do you know anyone that has done that without loss? I volunteer to be in the Monster Bike Class. Thanks for doing the research. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you know anyone that has done that without loss? I volunteer to be in the Monster Bike Class. Thanks for doing the research. We've camped near there in the past with no problems. We go about 20 mins. (give or take) north of Kramer junction and there's a decent camping area. Besides, no one wants my truck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Another option is to start/end in Barstow and pick up the tracks in Hinkley.....we'll fine tune.....easy access off 15/more lodging options/safe parking......we'll fine tune "The Plan" Don - noted your schedule.......perhaps weekend of Jan 9-11??......I'll check with Kathy to see if we have anything else on the books.....
