Hello all,

I think I am going to head out there after work Wednesday vise Thursday morning, Would I coordinate with the resort for the extra night or the Rally Staff? I would be pulling in around 10 PM or so Wednesday night.

Rob,

I figured out some money solutions -

But, my poor dog Winnie ended up back at the vets yesterday afternoon. My principal wasn't too happy about me missing Open House night (I asked a friend to tell her that I had a doggie emergency and put a note on my classroom door, but I found out today that she didn't get the message - oops

)

What's another $186?

I picked up a flier on pet insurance.....

I sent you a pm, if you didn't get it I want to thank you for the kind offer of squishing into your camp spot!
Looking forward to the ride up to Wild Rose

Oh, really soft sand and I have to turn at the same time. I see lots of dirt naps in my near future.

Rob,

Rob, I'll be there Wednesday too.. We can talk about it on Sunday.

For others information. When you come in Wednesday or before, just check in with the gas station to pay for the extra nights. If you look on page 1 it says your campsite number ask nicely and I'm sure they will try and put you in that site..

If you speak Russian, that might also help.

(The gas station attendant and one waitress in the Restaurant were from Siberia..)

Cowgirl · 03-20-2013, 08:08 PM

That's what I did for Wednesday and Sunday nights. Emailed them and asked nicely for the same spot for those nights

It's just a little bit of sand. Give it some gas and concentrate on where you want to end up. You will go where you look. If you look down, that's where you go.

Thanks!

Where I've ridden the roads are lined with big rocks, big spiny shrubs and jumping cholla. I'm looking forward to trying to go faster in sand (lets face it -just be able to ride in that deep of sand at all) without the veering off the road consequences being quite so high!

it always happens in pairs....

when the rider behind sees the bike in front goes down, the 2nd rider gets confused......

Yup, stay on the throttle!

A few more of things to come for us at n00bs ride...

Panamint Valley

Lippencott

The secret trail to get to one of the cabins we'll be going on in the Panamint Valley Cabin Ride, after the sand pits and deep river crossing.

Well my steering lock crapped out on me this morning when I got to work. I think I'll be ignoring that one. None of you drunk FFs. better move it around, that garage tent palace is sounding better and better.

No more time to work on the bike until I get back from Mammoth, on the bike list is skid plate, oil change, bark busters (hopefully I have time, they don't exactly fit), and maybe brake pads.

Nacho911 · 03-20-2013, 10:14 PM

Have fun you FFKS. Rob from Alberta Canada will be heading down mid day tomorrow. He shall be driving a black dodge with tent trailer and riding a black Triumph 800xc. Keep him away from the Jim Beam Stag fellas or the streaking may begin! Keep an eye on our Medic we have the CBDR to do in July.

All the best, be safe
