I have done this ride the last two years. The first with a friend who rides an 02' Honda 450, stock MX suspension. He got beat and had to stop in the rocks and rest since we took the hard way. We were about the 15th group of two to go. At the half way point we were 2 and 3, a desert racer hauled butt all the way and beat everyone. Two other guys passed us in the rocks and then we hit the falling snow. It snowed on us and we were unprepared, very cold. I got prepared for the next year.
Last year I took my wife since the buddy couldnt make it. We took the easy trails on the way over to Hawthorne Nevada, moderate trails the 2nd day and easy on the way home the 3rd day. She was the only girl that year.
My wife cant go this year due to a new job. So, I am putting this out to anyone who would like to go this year.
Leave Fresno Thur nite, motel provided in Mammoth Mt. Breakfast provided and ride 130 mi or so to Nev, gas provided on the trail. Motel provided in Nev with beer, meals, etc. 2nd day is 100 mi round trip ride to Bodie in CA after the provided breakfast. Gas again in Bodie is provided. Pay for your own lunch and ride back to Nev. 3rd day meals, gas and ride back to Mammoth. BBQ at motel when you get in. Showers provided and drive home or spend the nite at reduced rate on you.
Prizes given out at dinner banquet on Sat nite. Meals are at the Casino, drinks, gambling, local toothless girls and such. Motel and casino next to each other.
If you get hurt or break down they get you out. Sat phones and a tow quad with a front wheel set-up for your bike. Two to a room, so a friend or warm butt, I guess it can be the same, is better.
The ride scenery is beautiful. The ride is what you make of it. It isnt real hard and there is the easy way on dirt roads and easy trails. It may only last a few more years. They have been told they will get a permit til they skip a year and then who knows. There have been 30 to 100 riders on the rides thru the years. 2 to 4 start per minute to spread you out.

It costs about $650 per person. Green or red sticker bikes are good, you also need insurance which is about $75 a year for each bike thru Geico. Who is in to consider it?
