Anybody in the Tucson area up for Mt. Lemmon area ride on the Sunday after Thanksgiving, Nov-24. We will be starting and ending at the base of Mt. Lemmon, Catalina Hwy entrance. Plan to ride some elevation and also hit the dirt roads around the other side and touch on the OHV trails that I have seen in previous visits. Maybe swing around Oracle if not too cold? I am not from the area so really would be nice to have a local or two to ride with and show us the best routes. Myself and a buddy are passing through Tucson from Texas on our way to ride LA-Barstow-Vegas. The day after, Monday Nov-25 we will be riding the Florence Coke Ovens so anybody want to ride that with us also? From Florence we are then heading straight to Vegas and parking the car and trailer and riding the bikes off road across the desert to OC. Spending Thanksgiving In OC and then riding the bikes to Palmdale for LA-Barstow-Vegas ride and back across the desert to our haul rig in Las Vegas. _
Damn! That's alot of miles before you start the BtoV! What size bike are you riding? I was whooped after doing the LA-BtoV on a TE 450, We rode at race speeds and still got there way after dark. The key is not to spend much time BS'n every time you stop. I guess it will depend on what sections you take. Enjoy! I hope you get some good pics for us! Walter
TE630 and my buddy rides a BMW 650 X-Challenge. Neither one of us smokes, fiddles with GPS much and limited or no photo taking so not planning too long or too many stops. Planning on a very early start and probably not taking any "long ways" either. _
