Just talked with the organiser (mal wessel) and i'ts gonna be the last weekend in october 27-28th, im supposed to be working that weekend but im gonna try to swing it off. Its a great ride in my back yard, last year there was a few miles of desert then a few of the baja truck course and some technical stuff in the hills. It cost $20 to enter and all proceeds go to toys for tots.
Its not considered a race and anything from peewees to sidehacks run it, you get a poker card at every checkpoint and the best hand wins the best prizes, its normally 2 laps of about 11 miles. You will need a sparky as they do check.
Lets make a weekend of it

They have some stuff you drink before the intoxication begins that prevent you from getting a hang over. I don't remember the name and have never used it.
What are you going to dress like?

We'll be there with the whole gang, quite a few of us! Leaving H.B. early afternoon on Friday.
Hey Brit- Where do they check for spark arrestors, at sign in?
Do they stick'em or just read the U.S. Forestry embossment?
Any other restrictions that they don't address on their website?
I have one bike that is green stickered if verified, but no green sticker actually on the bike, do they check?
Thanks for the help man!
