Any MX'ers and/or Dual Sporters out there that want to hook up this summer for some non desert riding? With the summer break I plan to race some Vet X and OTHG MX and also clean the cobwebs off the XR430 for some dual sports. If interested I'm racing Vet X this Sunday at Racetown and the Bass Lake 250 July 16-17 with a few MX practices and informal DS's in Arrowhead and Big Bear in between. Also available for a few mid week rides as well.

Lets see, I can't turn, I can't jump, and I don't have a bike that is legal for dual sport, so I guess that means that I am out. Have fun with the MX JC. Are you planning on riding any of the SoCal AMA MX series??? Oh yeah, we are putting on a round of the AMA SoCal MX series at Piru, on July 24th, FYI.

Tell me about it, if I cared I would be embarassed about my jumping and turning skills but screw em I have alot of fun anyway. The only thing I don't like about it is the waiting between motos but it does give you time to socialize. It's surprising but I can get as tired after a couple of 20 min motos as I do after a 3 hr desert race. I will definitely be at Piru on 7-24 to help and would like to race a few So Cal MX's possibly Cahuilla on 7-31 and I-5 Gorman on 8-21. As for dual sport it's alot of fun too, just ask Jeff Heine about the Big Bear Run last summer - BRUTAL!

I'd like to do some dual sporting, but my dual sport died. Hopefully I can find a new one in the not to distant future.

I actually talked with Jeff about the Big BEar Dual Sport on our way to the Motocross meeting a couple weeks back, sounds like a fun day, but not quite long enough of a ride for me

The Bass Lake 2 day dual sport ride sounds like it will be one cool ride. I have to come up with a good scheme to get a kitchen pass. JC, bump me up from a 20% commitment to 30% ... still have a ways to go.

Blew off racing MX on Sun and went shopping for a trailer instead. We're taking it out this weekend and it'll make it's desert debut at RUTS. Sounds good Jeff, keep working on her and tell her that you'll have a place to stay away from all the critters, oops, no offense Kritter.

The Bass Lake Dual sport ride is an event I have had my eye on for a few years and this is the first year I have a bike to do it on. I'm with Jeff, need to work on the hall pass. May the wife would like to stay near Yosemite or Bass Lake that weekend while I ride?
Put me down as a maybe.....

OK, the Bass Lake 250 is on the calendar! The venue looks nice enough that Nancy may even join me, http://www.sierratel.com/skyranch/
Bass Lake 250 flyer is here: http://www.dualies.com
Thanks for suggesting this ride JC. Who else is in? Come on Jeff, invite your wife with a promise of a day trip to Yosemite (only 36 miles away).
