mediaguy 0 Posted September 26, 2010 Me and my buddies Russ and Matt rode about 100 miles on Thursday laying out the upcoming event. Gonna be a good ride. Lot's of trails, great scenery and a few tricky water crossings. I'll be at one of them with a video camera so if you see me don't get too nervous, you just might make U-Tube!

mediaguy 0 Posted October 5, 2010 Well, three days of rain (with more due tomorrow) have eliminated any dust and created epic trail riding conditions. Snow level is way above what we're going to be riding so come out and enjoy a great fall ride in the Sierras! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zoot 0 Posted October 12, 2010 Looks like I'm soloing up.. debating on bringing the toy hauler or finding a motel. Any of you that have been there have an opinion? Are the motels close enough to be worth it or should I drag the accommodations up the road? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
curayjusdad 0 Posted October 12, 2010 Just got a kitchen pass for that weekend . Any chance that I can come up for the ride/festivities? Never done anything like this, but it sounds like fun. Love the area around Bass lake, so you can't go wrong with that. Let me know and I can make plans (and send in money). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

curayjusdad 0 Posted October 15, 2010 Planning to head up no Friday morning, early. Right now I'm solo. Anyone want to carpool up to share gas, driving duties, and conversation? I plan on camping in my SUV where ever I can find a place to park it (the lodge or one of the nearby SNF campgrounds). PM me or see contact info in MO section. Looking forward to my first big adventure ride. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ADV Bum 205 Posted October 17, 2010 I think I will try to get a pass. I have never ridden the area and if they are going to close the trails, this sounds like it will be my last chance. I take it there are still spots open for the ride. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mediaguy 0 Posted October 18, 2010 Sat: To gas/lunch (hard ways) 80 miles but gas available at 70 Sun: No gas/lunch stop, total miles 70-80 miles, no hard/easy splts so course at times will be challenging for big bikes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
