2nd Annual Ride - trip details
Departure; 11-11-2010 We will load up our dirt bikes, and head out to our departing location at Plaster City, CA. We'll unload, gear up and have a rider meeting. Departing for day one early that AM. From this point going forward, our driver will meet us along the route in key meeting points and carry our safety gear, spare parts, overnight bags and other needed essentials. We will ride 96% dirt trails and open desert to Parker Arizona. Stopping along the way to re-fuel and/or meet the truck in Ocotillo Wells, Westmorland, Blythe, Vidal Junction and finally at our location of Parker Arizona. A total day ride of about 300 long grueling miles.
11-12-2010 (FREE DAY) Is a "Free Day" of no riding, or a day for yourself of rest and relaxation. Take the time today, to do bike maintenance or sit around the pool. Either way, rest up for the ride home!
11-13-2010 (optional) We'll add a local 70 mile loop to our ride plan and enjoy the area of Parker on our dirt bikes. Riding some of the Parker 425 race course and enjoying the scenic hills and enjoying lunch at the desert bar in the nearby buckskin mountains. our day ends at the bluewater once again, to enjoy the pool, hot tub, or a nice dinner.
Heading Home; 11-14-2010 We will have serviced our dirt bikes, and gear. Replenished our water and trailside snacks and made sure all needed batteries are charged before departure. We'll head back via different trails and open desert, but again meet the "chase truck/trailer" in the same towns as our initial trip. This is mostly a reverse of day one, with a few new scenic trails possibly a bit less technical due to riders being fatigued.
In totality, the ride will have covered 600 or more miles in two days of riding Or 700 miles in 3 days if your adventurous.
All for a good cause!
Once we return, and have all the donations tallied, we will present the funds, and other mementos of the ride to the S.U.C.C.E.S.S Group (via the Optimist International Foundation).
Post events will be posted here to the site, along with a total of funds donated.
