Southwest U.S. Husqvarna Ride - 11-27-2009 to 11-29-2009

wow very local!! no excuses all you SoCal (SD OC ) riders!!! (2.5 hr 4 us here in SD)

TurkeyDay is out for me.

I should be able to make it as it is only about 50 miles from my house in Indio Ca

How about California City, Presidents' Day weekend in February?

• About 125 miles from LA
• Hotels in Mojave about 25 miles away if people want to go that route
• Very easy access for trailers, camping, etc
• Wide variety of riding from campsite. I have tons of GPS tracks and can lead, offer recommendations, etc

?

Ok. I can pick up the ball on organizing a CalCity trip in Feb, lemme know if/when you want me to start another thread.

Please count me in - would favor Dec or after time frame if possible.
Thanks for the consideration and My Best Regards...Mike

From Husky Relic,
"Wow! I'm sorry for not checking in for a while. I did not expect such a response. Because of my work schedule it is difficult for me to pick a weekend. As soon as I do something will come up and I'll be required to travel and attend some event or function on behalf of Husky. The only time and location I can commit to for now is Thanksgiving weekend. The location will be Holly Rd out near the Salton Sea. I have been camping there every Thanksgiving for the past five years. There is a great network of trails and very scenic riding. It's part of the Ocotillo
Wells SVRA. I will be there starting Friday afternoon after Thanksgiving and stating until Sunday afternoon. Any and all are welcome to join me we will set up a base camp and ride out of there. If you would like to join me and my family send me a message and I will give you directions on where to meet."

Directions to where I am camping

I will be camping off Holly Road in the far northeast corner of Ocotillo SVRA. I have been camping there with a group of friends for the last few years. If you are coming from the direction of San Diego or Temecula you will need to drive to Borrego Springs and then follow S-22 all the way to almost Salton City. Apprix 4 miles before Salton City is the Holly Road trunoff. Turn Right on Holly Road and go approx 3/4 mile to the first permanent picnic structure and out building. Turn left and follow dirt road approx 1/4 mile. We will be camped in this area.

If you are coming from LA or the North take Hwy 86 to Salton City, Turn righ on S-22 and go 3-4 miles to Holly Road and turn left. Follow same instructions from above. I will try to put out some Husky signs or something to mark the turns. I will report once again before holiday.

I will be arriving Friday afternoon and staying until Sunday mid day. I'll be doing a ride late Friday afternoon, two rides on Saturday including a family ride in the morning and serious ride in afternoon.

I'm camping with my wife and some friends. Like I said above I'll post something again prior to the date. If you think you migh make it please send me a pm so I can get an idea how much extra camp space we will need.

Scot

Thanksgiving it is...

Look forward to meeting up for a ride on Turkey Day weekend. We'll be just up the road from you (south of the 22 across from the golf shed) so we'll look you up.
Couple new Huskys on the way for my girlfriend and I so we'll probably still be doing break ins.

Look forward to seeing everyone.

Ron

is anyone else going????????

I have another closer invite for tecate practice

hmmmm 2.5 hour drive to ride (carefully) in dez zone for a few hours with an AMA hall of famer,,,,,, or drive 1 hour and ride at race pace in tight single track and in in the rocks with a crew of 5 enduro riders.
Well I kinda did commit to the Husky thing. When I load in the 0600 hour and hit the road I will decide. (PS my second person changed plans) so I am driving solo. R

ok its 0630 and we have rain drops wow. Yes Im heading out to the dez, its on, besides its good for biz. PS I am not a camera guy,,sooo only cam I have is my phone.

BIG D called but I don't have a record of his number hope the Big man from OZ shows!!

Thank you to Scot and Brent Harden for the trail tour also thanks to Mike for the sweep position. The mud hills were fun and challenging. Great riding with you. Brent hope you make the Tecate show this weekend!!!
