racebob 0 Posted March 4, 2011 Im not sure that I can make the seminar, I have alot of bikepacking miles on my 950, I havent done any bikepacking on my 450. I will try to make the seminar on the 12th. even if not, I plan to do the ride on the 26th. Im working on what to take( bare minimum) due to limited capacity, compared to my 950.Looking forward to it. Are we going to eat in resturaunts or take food to cook? Are we camping in Palo Verde?

I think we would stop in Palo Verde to gas up . Mabey stop for a cold one . I was thinking of picking up or bringing some thing to eat at nite at the camp just to kill time and test out the camping set up. I was thinking to ride to the other side of the river go a little north and set up camp. We would have to see how the day goes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
racebob 0 Posted March 5, 2011 KKug, bringing food and cooking stuff is no problem, I just wanted to know what the plan was. There are alot of nice camping sites in on both sides of the river there. Ive done some riding in that area. There ia a nice campground on the river south of palo verde. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes I know where the campground is but the ideal of this thing is to camp off the grid in some dusty insect infested spot for free ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mistress of the dual 1 Posted March 11, 2011 Lunch will be BBQ pulled pork sandwiches, coleslaw and chips. Cablejockey is bringing sodas and water. If anyone wants something besides what's on the menu or wants beer they will need to bring their own. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
piratemonkey 0 Posted March 11, 2011 Wayne and I are going to swing by. Appropriate to the theme, we actually need to spend most of the day working on a rack for the DRZ since we haven't found anything on the market that works for us. We just picked up Chase Harper dualsport side bags that we'll use on both bikes. Wayne will be using a MotoFizz bag on top. I'll have a smaller Nelson Rigg bag on top (I don't have to carry the tent). The dog will be duct taped to the bag. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paulmbowers 236 Posted March 11, 2011 The dog will be duct taped to the bag. Z, have you seen this dog backpack from myoutwardhound.com? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mistress of the dual 1 Posted March 11, 2011 Zina, My house is dog friendly so feel free to bring the pooch. Also, I added my address in the Members Contact Info thread for those folks who decide to swing by at the last minute. However, I do not guarantee there will be enough pulled pork sandwiches for late comers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
piratemonkey 0 Posted March 11, 2011 Z, have you seen this dog backpack from myoutwardhound.com? <hijack on> I bought something not unlike that for Simon's first travel pack: At 15 lbs, he's at the limit of the bag's capacity. It's uncomfortable for extended use because there's no waist strap so all the weight is carried on the shoulders. </hijack off> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dan Diego 40 Posted April 24, 2011 Aw, man. I see the big bike Gold Point camp/ride was canceled. Any word of a reschedule? Since I'd already blocked off that time, I may do a solo outing to Superstition are. Just to see how the gear holds up. I guess I need to work on some 50/50 tires, too as I buried the back tire to the Jesse Bags yesterday. Anyone ever tried to cross the I-8 median (where it says not to) at the bottom of the hill coming into Ocotillo (by the 98)? Let's just say it wasn't just loose sand...it was a huge ant hill. And these ants appeared to prefer KTMs as they really went after my big ol' GS as I tried to pull it out. Ah, good times. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
