Husqvarna Riders were rolling in numbers this year Great day to ride with the family and friends TE310 owners.... Check your lower welds for the foot peg mounts. After my wife hit a few rocks the lower weld broke and the peg fell off Photo Links https://plus.google.com/photos/105926185939846057121/albums/5848928181860055921 https://plus.google.com/photos/105926185939846057121/albums/5848924209165240545 Large group of Husqvarna riders
We really didn't do much of the dash on Saturday, riding a bit of Orreflame Canyon, and also Canyon Si Nombre. The rest of the time was spent poking around various routes that we hadn't been on before. Sunday, I drove the EMT route and Jeff rode with the sweep team.
Hi Dirtdame... You must have been leading the charge Hardly any tire tracks. By the time my group reached that point the sand was all rutted from bike tracks
The event is always staged out of the Butterfield Ranch RV resort every year. A wonderful place to camp, with full hookups, a spa, swimming pool, bathrooms with showers, a grocery store, and a club house where we had the Saturday night meal catered for all the riders and event volunteers.
We didn't follow the course route. We ran that canyon backwards from the direction the event had it on the route, so we were there shortly after lunch, which we had at the campground. We only saw two other riders who were just starting that leg as we were finishing it.
That place is still there? When I was a kid my Dad's roofing company was contracted to re-roof all of the buildings there. Was good for us, as kids, because we got to go camping, swim and ride!
Not much drama for me, besides almost hitting a Park Ranger head on. View: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lo4tUYItAOQ
Wrong way Ranger in the Jeep... could have ended someones day My thoughts on why they call Diablo drop off Heart Attack Hill! That's what could happen Walking up that hill a few times to ride more bikes down!
The places in your video snapshots are the Squeeze and the Drop. I don't think that the rocky little stepup in between actually has a name, but a lot of people call the Drop Heart Attack hill. Diablo drop is on another route that leads to the Mud Caves. It's easy enough to get down, but somewhat difficult to get up. I have actually seen a rider ride up the Drop before, but that is a feat that not many riders can boast about. Heck, I can't even ride down the darned thing any more. Not terribly fond of Fairchild Hill either.
Fun ride, one time was enough for me, glad it went well. I'm sure we will see lots of fotos. (did it on my 99 TE610) when there was alot of snow on the way over to the dez floor, epic scenery that day.)
I had my phone resting up against that window sucking up some Wi-Fi, a very nice lady told me she moved it to take a picture of that little camper. Could that have been you Ms. Dirt Dame????
That was my first Desert Dash. I can't stop thinking about how sweet and moist the dirt was. Really had a great time and really glad I got to meet some people I have been talking to on line in person! Hi Kenneth!
Very nice to meet you and your friends! That new Gopro looks great! Need More Videos I have about 5K Photos I need to sort out I forgot to tell you, I hope the last System configuration settings we loaded on your GPS was was yours My configurations would change your GPS name, Address, Wheel Size..... Opp's. When are up for some Johnson Valley or Big Bear Riding?
Boys.... They always fun to ride with, tell them where our destination is and let them the RUN & we will ride at our own pace lol Found some more scenic photos. I have no Video. Sis had the Gopro and busted the mount.
