2011 Rocky Mountain Adventure Rally

Slimmer patches with a year date would be cool. Big patches take up too much room. Maybe like chevrons?

or Sergeant badges? oser

Cute! What about taking her down the back roads? Skittles and I are going to be taking our time down too.

So my wife (known here as Skittles) just passed her BRT. She doesn't think she would be ready for group rides anywhere and wants to go slow. Any other N00b fems want to join her in practice riding in the area?

Turns out, she will be in NE. I tried to talk her out of going there, but did not win the argument

looks like I am heading out though. Where are you guys coming from?

Denver. WTF Nebraska that time of year? Is she BSC???

I will look into this. Might have the budget to provide for everyone.

Audra has had two lessons (from me). One in our backyard and one down at the High School Parking lot.

I am taking it slow with her.

On Saturday, Audra will get her third lesson......also back down at the HS parking lot.

Early next week, she is going to take her written test to obtain her Riding Permit. Once she has her Permit, we are going to start exploring all the Black Forest Roads, which are a mix of pavement and well maintained dirt roads.

Eventually, probably the first week in July, we will take a trip up to Rampart for her first, full dirt experience.

We are going to ride with SargentMarty and his wife on the 10th of July.....that will be her first group ride.

The good news is.....Audra is having a blast and loves riding her bike.

We have our first inmate, needing to back out of the trip.

This is for a very good reason....and you might want to follow.

Maybe you could follow this guys lead and pull her bike down!!!!!!

I'm kind of wishing I still had that set-up. With gas prices the way they are, It would cost me @ $800 in gas alone to trailer my DR650 out there with my truck, which I can't afford this year.

If I make it out there at all this year, it will probably just be on my street bike.

^^^ or ride the DR650 out...try and take mostly dirt roads.

Thanks!!

Yea! I know!! She is going to be there for family reasoning. Nothing serious though. Inlaws!!!! so party time for me!

Great Idea!! But she is out. She is going to NE, but she will make the next one next year for sure!! I need a set up like this guy though! I will have to start using my engineering skills now.

The DR650 will make it for sure! I took a 16 hour road trip on my 2009 DRZ400 and it did awesome! Hit as many dirt roads as possible but all in all, probably 70% ended up on the street. ( Sweet Cheeks on that trip made all the difference, but my rear end was still numb sometimes.

pffft a KLX will make it

i would even be willing to kick down some cash for it as well.

Well now I really have to go,
I bought my shirts from Duke
