I live by stoddard wells now. Lets ride early!
OH MY, I'm on vacation (sitting on my ass) that week. Sounds really good!!! -BIG DANWelcome to the HOOD !
My house 8AM Jun 23 if you wanna be our 4th.
Ok, so lets start a thread. John, Martin, Timo, Carl, Big Dan, Rez, Trav, and anyone else, how is mid June looking?Lets plan a weekend trip this upcoming month to KM! My bro and I can probably get another friend or two to come along. We been looking at Toy Hauler rentals too, and they are reasonably priced.
Oh man, I've done that there before. Broke down on the western part of Piru and didn't get tools/parts/fixed until was turning dark. Instead of riding the eastern part of Piru in the dark (i.e. couple of the ledges) we went up Miller and down Alamo in the dark. Nothing quite liking going up Miller in the pitch black. Don't think we made it back to the truck until 11pm.Well last Saturday I had a bit of a doozie. Left the truck before 11 and didn't get back until 8pm. It was the combo of a difficult trail, somewhat unsuited tires and equipment problems. I had real concern that the night was going to be spent out on the trail.
In LPNF you generally ride above 5500 feet so it's usually not too bad even when it's 100+ in Hungry Valley. The top of Frazier is 8000 feet making it a nice stop.

I've done desert rides in July. It' just that you ride when the sun is down. As previously mentioned real early works as well.
those dawn patrols are rough for me ... id have to be up and out the door by 3amThere will still be a chance or two to get your Dez fix in. It might be in the middle of the week, and I'm sure it won't be as nice as last weekend, but it will come.
What's with the problem of getting up early? There's nothing like doing a Stoddard Dawn Patrol run. On the bikes at 5:00AM, do a high speed loop, hit Slash X for a breakfast plate and a pitcher at 10:00ish, and in the trucks A/C by 11:00.

Jeff, I know you have a KM trip planed in June as well but hey, why not.
If we get a big group like the LPNF cluster " " we can split up and do loops all over.

Maybe even under 80 on Tuesday. Good eyes Timo.Dez looks to be in the low 80's first of next week. I'll be working, but if any of you weekday riders are free, consider this your warning.
