Central Valley Dual Sport Rides more fun good times

Taking the kids? That would be a cool dad thing to do.

Hey Matt, nice to have a spotter pilot.

I'll PM wrk2surf to see if he can be our guide, he knows that area like his backyard. I've only been up there once, we took the Sugarpine trail from near Bass Lake up to the Star Lake jeep trail...if Mike can't go maybe Justin can map out tracks?
Where should we meet on Sunday? Time? My brother Jack might go.
He's been jonesing to get on that 450 in the dirt.

Jonesing. Yup good feeling. You think you could make Prather off hwy 168 at 9-930? Meet at shell station there. Then ride up Auberry road into Northfork and bass lake area to surgar pine. If ya got another spot chime in.

Shell station in Prather? Is there a good place to park the truck/trailer? What's the cross street @ 168?

Shell station is at intersection of auberry rd and hwy 168. Lots of parking for truck/trailer combo close by. Sorry I'm not as talented as Jp throwing up gps maps on here yet.

I may, my bike is not quite done but if all goes well it should be ready to go for a easy ride Sunday to see how it run's.

Hah... Funny you say that, sooooo looking forward to taking the munchkins one day. Not this time but maybe in two or three years I can find an nsr and git my oldest out there for a few laps.

Perry,

If you stage near Auberry & 168 you will still have about 20 miles to get to northfork, but you will get to ride powerhouse rd. If you don't want to ride all that pavement I'm sure you guys can park at my friend Cliff's house just outside of Northfork..........

Auberry&168 works for me, 9-930 @ the Shell station it is...
If its just me, I might just ride the 640 from Visalia, Jack is a maybe.
If I do ride from Visalia, I'll meet up with JP at his house...

What Jp said. I first thought you were riding the whole way up Perry. Figured on a meeting spot between Clovis and auberry. It's a lot of slab. Trailer does change things. I can meet you guys between Clovis area to Prather so we can ride up to northfork. I didn't want force you into riding a ton of slab solo. More fun together.

Nice! Start them young.

Got your text Perry. Wasn't sure what it was at first as nothing came through. Then I noticed an attachment that my phone cant open so I forwarded it to my email & saved the file to my desktop. Google says its a "Dropped Pin", that is some sort of mapping software I guess. Couldn't open the file on my PC so I dragged it into a Post Script editor to see the "code" subsequently finding a google map address in the text which I copied & plugged into my web browser.
