Is there a time of year that's better than others? Would like to do some rides on the 1290 and maybe some difficult single track on the 500. Are there enough riders out there for a lone rider to hook up with? Generally between October and May are best to avoid the high heat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dino Trefiletti Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 The same months for riding hold true here in Vegas and from June to October we do night rides to beat the heat. You can do the whole southern half of the NVBDR at night in the middle of summer. With a good light, off-road night riding is a whole nother experience that is not to be missed! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Eric Hall Posted January 15, 2019 Author Administrators My Rides (3) Report Share Posted January 15, 2019 @Dino Trefiletti that actually sounds really cool! I used to do these night rides here up Saddleback mountain in the summer and found with a good set of led aux lights that it was actually easier to ride because the lights showed you all the best lines. Middle of summer though isn't it still like 90 degrees? I grew up in Phoenix and I know! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No final route yet. Many good options between Palmdale and Barstow for day 1 but day 2 is a challenge and getting Jimmy Lewis to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dino Trefiletti Posted May 7, 2019 Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 Jimmy is a good asset. It will have to be a combination of dirt and pavement to avoid the many deep sand sections of day 2. Perhaps this could be a good way to involve the Mojave Preserve. The BLM may be more receptive to an Adv route through the Preserve rather than dirt bikes with license plates. I have many big bike routes through the Preserve if it works out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Eric Hall Posted May 7, 2019 Author Administrators My Rides (3) Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 That's what we're hoping for. Big bikes are all street legal and going on existing roads. The rangers like us too! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le Cler Posted August 14, 2019 My Ride Report Share Posted August 14, 2019 I might have Harsimran "Sim" joining me as a team to run this. Still debating since it's so close to Thanksgiving and whether or not I even have it off. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what we are thinking at the moment. I have seen the moshpit where it gets really gnarly with the rocks and even little bikes are struggling. That said, I am working on getting in @Eric Hall shape before then. ?? I couldn't do that in my current habitus. @Eric Hall, I need your workout plan.
