The pizza party was pretty much a bust. I would have focused on getting everyone to properly prep their bike, what kind of pace and terrain to expect, and do's and donts of the trail.... but hey.... thats just me.

If anyone had done this ride before then what to expect would have been provided ...

Thanks for coming everyone, it was nice to meet you all. Ride was sick. Ride there was 3.5hrs moving but over 7 total with issues and stops. Ride back was faster with fewer people and zero issues. Lightly rained for about 1.5 hrs and then we hit a bunch of fog and some snow. We stopped and dethawed ...

Ride is still on, for those who want to show up. Meeting at Del Taco off Lenwood exit at 8am.

Algava and Hammer, sorry for missing your call was eating dinner with the fam.

Sorry to hear Jay.

Update

We will be meeting up at the Del Taco parking lot off of the Lenwood exit at 8am sharp and then heading over to Brit's house to stage. We will be adding 38 miles to the ride but most of it will be fast powerline/frontage roads next to the I-15.

Looks like between 40 and 80% chance of ...

Below is the info from the emails, sorry if you were missed on the mass mailings.

Trip general info:

- Distance:
o This is roughly a 140 ride and estimated 5hr trip (with fuel and rest stops)
o Staging will be done at the Afton Canyon Campground off of Afton Rd 38 miles outside of Barstow off I ...

Huh, more questions than answers? What else do you want to know Bob? I thought the plan was laid out and clear, we will to the campground and then head north and if the dry lake is a lake then we will detour. If you have any other questions let me know and we will get them hammered put now. When I ...

Nice vid! At min 12:54 is the campground that we are going to stage at. After seeing that fun wash area maybe we will change the staging area. I will see what I can find as another area to stage at.

I can't wait to comment on everyone's nice racks!

13x49 x 300 miles =

You cant even run 13x49 at the Adalento GP

When you're slow like I am, that feels fast!

I'm on a 450x. The gearing it has now is a 13/49 bit I am going to bump it up to a 14/49. I am not sure about the 650s but the 450 only has 5 gears and with the gearing it has I was topped at 60ish.

I guess I will lead but the pace will not be too intense. For those who want to haul, feel free to ...

I read most of that thread and I think it is the organizer's fault, not Spot's. I think the results would be different if there was not an event going on but just my opinion. I have talked to other people who have them and they say that they work great. I would rather have it and never use it than ...

Correct, we will have pit stops at miles 35 and 65.

***We will be having a pre-trip meeting Sunday afternoon at 1pm at Southern California Pizza. It is located at the corner of La Paz and Marguerite in Mission Viejo. The address is 25102 Marguerite Pky, Mission Viejo, CA 92692

Oohh, carbon fiber turn signals!! Wow Bob, pulling out all the stops for the bling!

Algava, can you please send me a PM with your email address so I can add you to the mass email today?

Uh oh, looks like Bob might be polishing his sprocket and chain now!

I agree with Hammer, just pony up for a GPS unit and a RAM mount. This will fit all of your needs. Get a good GPS and you can lead the rides or a crappy one will fill your trip/speed/dist info. Let me know if you need some suggestions.

GPS tracks downloaded and uploaded to my GPS. Count me in for either ride.

Soo much bling!!!

If you wanted the tampon button you should have gotten the lady version (650L).

Wow, that KLR just looks heavy. Yep, per the Kawi website it is 432lbs.

So it looks like just lewisclan, Bob and Solid are in. We are finalizing the plans on Monday so anyone else who wants in please speak up or you will be fending for yourself.

Have a great weeked!

Yea, a new frame would be nice but I think it is the principle of having to spend all of that time re-transferring the componenets over to the new frame that is the issue. I was truly bummed to hear the bad news as I was over there on a nightly basis watching the progress.... and most likely slowing ...

Looking good Bob!
