Well it’s happening! Plans are on the way for some Moto Heads to tackle the WABR this June. We will also be attending the Touratech Rally West From June 27th-30th. Some friends heading up from the LA area and rendezvous in the Bayarea. This will be my first BDR. Super stoked. Pack list has started. Will keep you posted on more info as we progress.

Day1 completed. Very windy day up the 5 then 97. Little parade around the town of Weed and had lunch at Black Bear Diner in Klamath falls. Pushed about 500 miles today and stayed just south of Bend Oregon. Very nice and scenic after Redding. ( thanks Jason!) A little heaven before we hit the dirt. Stayed at a Thousand Oaks resort where they allowed us to pitch up our tents. Was a brutal 37 degrees last night and I woke up at 3am. Oh well, getting the morning coffee on and gearing up. KSU at 8:30am. 58284984156__CA69054E-CD24-4428-B771-886AF9A40562.thumb.jpg.05bd290cd0771abf386ee43d6ea7db11.jpg58285042493__F8693E69-31E1-48AC-B08D-2AC7A539E261.thumb.jpg.0d2ce5bd25010450839aabf5aaf6265b.jpgIMG_9573.thumb.jpg.62ec163736b82778c008f32b4bd754f9.jpg

Day 2. We traveled about 250 miles from Bend Oregon to Trout Creek Campground in section 1. Had an extra long lunch at the Bridge Restaurant with ice cream and had my first Marionberry Pie! Picked up some camping fuel and toothpaste in town and we were off. Steve is using his Garmin Montana and I’m using my Garmin 60CSX with WA topi as well as the Rever app on my phone. The trails are epic in the section so far to say the least. I’m thinking already that I brought too much stuff! We got to camp around 6:30 pm to relax and rest. We have an ambitious goal to get past Nile Valley and to Lions Campground which is 200 miles. Some tinkering on the bike and kit last evening and we are both feeling good! Steve is riding great on the 1290 Super adventure, and let’s say “Heddy” is in her Element! Probably going to stiffen up the front Forks a bit to help with the weight of the loaded bike.
