PNW Husky event. Bend, OR. Oct. 15-16, 2010

**Edit - Event will take place the weekend on October 15-16, 2010 at East Fort Rock OHV area 20 miles east of Bend, OR @ camp 2510. Info, directions and maps may be found here: http://www.fs.fed.us/r6/centraloregon/recreation/cohvops/efrindex.shtml

Camping is free, but primitive. Fire pits and outhouses are on site but nothing else, so be prepared. There's usually plenty of fallen timber for firewood, so I only bring a chainsaw and axe.

OHV tags are required for each bike. <coffee edit - ohv tag will be needed, a license plate does not exempt> Oregon honors most states tags, but Oregon tags can be purchased at both major cycle shops in Bend, OR. Riders under 30 years of age are legally required to have an Oregon OHV operators card: http://www.rideatvoregon.org/ I've yet to see law enforcement actually enforce this, but my statements may not be used in a court of law!!

I'll be staying Thursday night through Sunday, but feel free to arrive as early as you like and stay as long as you like.

**Orginal post**

We've got no shortage of Husky's here. So how about organizing an event so we can all get together, shoot the breeze and ride together?

Gifford would be a great locale. It's kinda centralized between the PNW states and offers the best woods riding. Or we can wait til fall and roll the Husky train through China Hat.

Any interest?

Good point.
Anyone and everyone can ride Bend. And it is awesome!

How about the weekend of Oct. 14, 15th?
We should have some precipitation by then and the course wont be hammered from the Fall Classic which takes place the following weekend.

can you give us a tentative site map location,,,,,FOI(for our info) to locale.or GPS spot for range check

sounds awsome! let me check with my financial planner/parole office/wife

Oct. 14-15th it is then!

Here's some good info on China Hat: http://www.fs.fed.us/r6/centraloregon/recreation/cohvops/efrindex.shtml

Location is approx. 20 miles east of Bend, OR.
Terrain is high elevation desert trails (not open terrain) with a few play areas thrown in the mix. We usually do 200-250 miles on a weekend with the longest rides being about 60-70 miles.

There's a few destination rides (lookout tower and ice caves/bring lights and shoes for exploring) for non-plated bikes and plenty of other destination for those with dual sports.

I've ridden quite a few places around the country and this one is one of my faves. Lots of high speed, high mileage riding on impeccably maintained and marked trails. The locals take a lot of pride in this place and it shows.

Not every trail is high speed though. Bring your knee and elbow guards for this trail: http://contour.com/video/efr-02

All are welcome and the more, the merrier!

Do you need a special permit to ride in oregon if you are from Wa? I mght be interested.

Count on at least a couple of Montana guys. I am in and will bring more if possible.

Walt

I missed my May trip there. I might just be able to pull this off. Am 50/50 but would like to go too.

Out of state OHV tags are honored. Or you can buy OR tags. $10/2 yrs.

Awesome. I owe you a beer

Post it up on TT!

Details, details....

The weekend of Oct. 15th and 16th, 2010. I'll try to get down there Thursday after work though so I'm ready to rock Friday morning.
