up coming rides

 A weekend of fairly easy Dual-Sport riding. 

Mostly two-track, lots of gravel, some rocks, some dirt. Weather should be mild/cool 50-75 degrees Fahrenheit 

There are a number of suggested routes to choose from and your hosts, 

Doug Pippin and Norm Kern will help you load your GPS. 

Soil in this area is sandy/loamy and drains quickly so there isn't much slippery mud. That said, there are areas that do not favor the large over 1000cc bikes.
