LA to Barstow to Vegas (Nov. 28-29,2008)

http://labarstowvegas.com/

I've been wanting to go on this ride for a few years now, and 2008 is it! This year is the ride's 25th anniversary and they say it's going to be a bitchin' year. I'll be doing the Barstow to Vegas section only and it's time to start planning. Rooms at the Ramada in Barstow are booked up, so I'm going to book a room at another motel down the street. Another room will be required (The Orleans Hotel/Casino) for Saturday night in Vegas. I'm looking for other FF's who are going on this ride.

Yup, will be my 12th year.

Possibility for me....as long they have a nOOb route!

Great thing about this is the organizers will donate money to charitable cause!

Absolutely. They have the easy way, with optional hard ways. From what I've read and heard, expect lots of sand, and FUN!

-Rich

Yes I'm in. I've done this a few years in a row now. The first leg of the race...aaah whoops! I mean RIDE is normally pretty good lots of trees (if you can do it). I get a room across from the Ramada. Second day rocks, sand and desert access roads. The hard loop near the end (Red Rock Canyon) probably the best part of the ride. Got a flat tire last year so ended up riding out with the sweep on my ass, but the full moon was awesome! This is alot of fun. I stay with friends and family in Vegas so your on your own there.

Dude I know this is getting old. But It all comes down To if I have a ds bike then. Have you sidned up yet? Ben

-Rich

Hmmmm???? I clearly F'd up that one! It's fixed now btw.

Have you been on this ride before RAZR? What can we expect as far as difficulty?

-Rich

Dang, that’s really strange…for some reason I mistakenly made a double post for the same freakin’ ride!??? WTF? I’m going to ask the forum moderator to delete this one.

Here's the l ink to the correct one:
