CPT Jack's report

long one... I'm taking up my own page....:debil:

Amanda and I left out of Redondo Beach at 3 AM Friday and arrived in Reno at 12 AM just in time for a well deserved nap. I was too tired for a pre-Renofest ride & good thing too b/c I was pretty sore by Sunday evening. Driving thru The Sacremento area was beautiful - really scenic with all the rolling wooded hills and open fields (Yeah I noticed that too!). I'll bet there's some fantastic riding there (if it's legal!).

The Mexican restraunt the first evening was great. A lot of fun and I got to meet a lot of great new people including, E-Ticket (Randy) and The Ant(Susan), Mr.WR (Rick), and TTRGuy (finally - the Eel says your desert cooking skills are legendary!). A few drinks later and all was right with the world! It was already worth the drive.

Got to sleep nice and early so Saturday morning was a cinch (not so for Sunday!) and conditions really were close to perfect. Strick greeted everyone & had 3 group planned: beginner, intermed., & advanced. I decided to go intermediate on the first day for a proper break-in. It can be said for certain that the Reno desert does not lack for Whoops! They were kicking my arse after the first 15 minutes! We were trekking along at a good clip & I lost it in one of the washes. I don't really know what happened but it was pretty soft landing. So after making my first "dirt angel" in Nevada I set the XR upright & begin the first of many kick-a-thon's. There must be a new *modified* drill to starting after dumping it since the installation of the pumper carb b/c it definitely doesn't work like before. Anyway after 100 or so kicks & a string of profanities it finally fires & off we go. Yee-haw! It was a pretty short loop so our fearlessleader led us back & took us out again for an ad-hoc jaunt into the hills. We got a bit of altitude climbing those desert hills - going through whoops & some quality singletrack and ending up w/ me out of breath. We stopped at 6700 ft (GPS) & took some group photos with the wide open valley floor below us. The trek ended with a big long sandy downhill (the last one of those I did in December ended with me bailing & hurting my ankle pretty good). The Ant and CJ on the Pampera were ahead of me & even though I was locked up on the brakes, I was closing rapidly. I knew I was going to smack into the rider in front of me if I didn't bail, so I decided I had to ditch lest things get real ugly & jumped clear. It turned out fine (nice & soft) so I let them get some distance, bumped it & rode it down,
watching the guy on the yammie in front of me bite it face first. So Zio, you weren't the only one .... oh yeah, he was haulin' ass too! ;) Fun ride.

I arrived back at the truck to find sandwiches & adult beverages. ...and there was much rejoicing ;)

Saturday's final loop wore me out. The guys in front were haulin & not looking back. After a long downhill I was trying to keep contact w/ the guys in front & the rider behind me but the guys in front had vanished & we couldn't tell which tracks were theirs. So after the obligitory looking around &
shrugging of shoulders the other rider & I stop to figure out what what to do now. Hey so you're Zio! I thought you were a chick! ...j/k. We decide to just explore (gotta love GPS) so we take off up this whooped out hill that never ends. The monkey-butt was killing me :moon: & we stop to rest. Sounds like a couple bikes coming our way & over the hill pops Thumbs & a couple other riders (FremontGuy?). Guess they got seperated too. We cruised back to camp at a good clip w/o incident ...'cept for soil sample Zio stopped to take!

Sunday was a bit sore. Stayed out too late as well, but what are gonna do? Strick took us out for loop which saw a lot of people bail b/f even a quarter way thru. Although my legs were toast, that loop was a blast - especially that fire road leading up the mountain. Endoquest goes off thru the snow like there's some kind of trail there & I'm thinking "What the heck? why not." Man I was P.O.'d by the time I got out of the snow. I made 3 snow angels and kicked that freakin' bike about 250 times. I believe Marshall documented the debacle well in photo's 42-50. I fell into a bush on the last one when I
couldn't get my foot down and got a stick in the butt and a hole tore in my (bike) seat. My butt is a deep shade of black & blue at the moment. Kinda like 'kaliedescope on pasty left cheek' (sorry for the visual).

Well it was a great time overall. Got to ride a lot of cool bikes. E-Tickets KTM400, Tee's 200EXC, a GasGas 300EC, Zio's (Farmer john's) CR250, and Darth Bundy's YZ250f. And someone actually wanted to ride mine! Thanks Randy! The Pumper carb rules. That CR250 scared me but all the others were great.

The biggest suprise was how immediately comfortable the 250f felt. Awesome bike. Here's a shocker - Amanda riding a dirt bike! She's never ridden before or expressed an interest. I figured she'd be in the casino's all day, but she actually got on a bike & rode! Wow, that was cool. Thanks to DougM's wife & everyone else for all their support.

Really, everyone was so cool it's almost kind of unbelievable. Special Thanks to Strick & Mimi. Also Randy & Susan, The Tortoise & family, BrianC & family, Buddy & Mini, Pegasus & Marshall, and everyone else. See ya next time!

 

[MR.WR]

Strick!! Great job on marking the trails and getting the porta-potty. This was my second Reno ride and I must say this weekend one was the best so far! The weather was perfect and traction was at its bestl. I arrived on Friday morning and was eager to get riding. I met up with Ricky1, Fremountguy and a few other, but can't seem to remember wh. Nerver the less we headed out for a warm up loop with Ricky1 leading the way! GREAT selection of trails and terrain for an immediate trail. After returning from the 1st loop to get some
lunch and top off the tank, AngryJim showed up. It did not take him long to get his KTM out of the truck and dawn his MSR gear and we were off for an adventure. I decided to take the lead for this little loop. I found a nice little hill to get the blood flowing. I started up and soon found out the sand was pretty soft and there was NO hope in making it to the top. I managed to make it about 1/4 of the way up before I stalled my little 200. Angryjim was about in the same position as me.....stuck! I fired the little GasGas back to life
and decided to traverse the hill from left to right with hopes of making it to the top. I did not look back to see where Angryjim was; I just kept on
plugging away little by little until I made it to the top. Once on the top I was waiting for Jim, but did not see him. So, I removed my helmet and yelled a few times for the KTM rider. Well, he was no where to be found. So I fired up my bike and headed back down to the hill to find AngryJim. About 1/2 way down I stopped and looked around, I noticed a solo rider riding across the valley, I figured that was AngryJim,so I took off to track him down. What a goose chase that was. I returned to the staging area to find Jim asking where I went??? I replied, "to the top of that hill". Friday night dinner was excellent, had a good time meeting everyone, even though I can't remember
who I meet....I think the Tecate's had something to do with that!
Saturday morning came way to quick. My GasGas was left in good hands with Strick. It was boarded next to his KTM in his trailer....I don't think anything rubbed off on my GasGas! If anything my little jewel inspired some trail manners into his 400SX. The staging area was a ZOO of bikes, trucks, and a box van, you name it, it was there! Strick had a quick riders meeting to inform everyone about the trial system and to break the group down into groups. Some how I managed to get tangled up with a bunch of heavy
hitters on big thumpers. AngryJim, Barry (FAST Local RenoTrail Guide) and myself were all on 200cc bikes! The pace was fast and the trails were some of the best I've ever ridden. I really don't remember much from that ride except for the waterfalls, the tight single track, WFO runs, casing my pipe and skid plate on some nasty rocks, looking at the damaged pipe and skid
plate from the rocks and the monkey butt:moon: Imanaged to make it back to the staging area all in one piece.....almost, I did manage to leave some bits and pieces of my Dunlop 752 out on the trail. With some much need rest and lunch it was time it muster up another group of riders.....we turned to Barry for another adventure... So we scrounged up a group of riders, none of which I can remember. I guess it was about 2:30 or so when we took off. In what direction???? I had NO idea. After crossing several ridges, valleys, and a few wrong turns we ended up in on some EXCELLENT single track! I remember AngryJim telling Barry we need to turn around and start heading
back to Moonrocks, or were going to end up back in Reno! By this time the sun was dropping and the shadows were getting long, not to mention the glare and what little dust was making it hard to ride. We had 1 rider take a nasty get-off on a section of trail that was littered with laval rocks. He was ok, but managed to put a tear in his LBZ riding pants. So, a this point we really needed to be getting back towards the staging area. We came across farmer in his pickup truck and his dog. From what I could tell the farmer
stopped Barry and they negotiated some kind of deal in order for the group to cross his land. I think Barry paid the guy off. Once we crossed through the barbed wire gate we were headed back in the general direction towards Moonrocks staging area. The young fellow on the Suzuki with the monster gas tank was running low on fuel. It was not too much father down the trail
that his tank was sucking air! AngryJim's brother (Tom) drained some fuel out of his KTM 300's tank for the thirsty RM 250.... Mr.LBZ was back in action.....for a few more miles. By this time we had about 30 minutes of sunlight left and the staging area was getting closer. Barry had disappeared and was no longer leading..... We stopped at an intersection on the trail. AngryJim and Tom decided to make one last blitz on some single track. Myself and the others WFO'ed back to the staging area. The LBZ rider was in
trace......he managed to make it back to the staging area with his RM 250 sucking air once again. I had an excellent time....once again! Thanks to all those who made the drive!!! Strick! Thanks for all your efforts!

Ohh, but the way, that steakhouse was EXCELLENT!!

DirtyDave....Sorry to hear about the ribs....I guys Les is off the hook now :p: Get well soon! Elkins Flat is coming up quick.....April!!

I know he took more too, and if he knows what's good for him he won't post them ALL!! :p ;)

 

[KiwiBird]

Dirtygirly, I'm putting up more as I get to it - keep checking there. I took over 150 shots, got about 60 up there, 30 more to come, 40 or so duds and the rest are to be used for enchillada blackmail. :p

 

[endoquest]

Got online again, good reading, eh? I managed to get over to Rapids' house again to get online(and put his spare beer out of it's misery). Outstanding stuff, thanks to everyone. Vegas Supercross?

Reno Ride=Great Fun!!!

Too much fun and not enough words to describe. It was great to have the chance to meet some of you. Unfortunately, there wasn't enough time to meet everyone. The trip from Colorado Springs to Reno took 25 hrs(5 hrs to Breckenridge; usually about 2 hrs). The trip home took about 20 hrs(snow and slush ALL the way across Nevada(HWY 50). Strick, thanx for the outstanding hospitality. I'm sure glad you found those keys for the white truck Sunday morning:eek: Saturday's ride was just pure fun! When Strick was explaining the different loops at the rider's briefing he said "If there's any doubt at all if you are an expert, don't go on the Expert ride". That may not be verbatim, but it means the same. Anyhow, my dad(the Malcomb Smith lookin' character), Jim(his buddy) and I all looked at each other thinking the same thing; then my dad rather optimistically says, "well boys, I guess we'll find out if wer're experts today". After a couple enthusiastic *yep's* we were shortly on our way. I think Will(CSL) was already determined to attempt the expert loop, and he's in much better shape than I am. Come to find out, the only really challenging stuff was those damned whoops! Oh My God where they brutal!!!:aj: I guess if I HAD to ride them all the time I'd probably get good at'em, but that ain't the case. There was this one hill that had to been at least a mile long and ALLLLLL whoops near the beginning of the ride. That one killed me! Will passed me about 3/4 up as I was sitting on the seat trying to catch my breath and regain some energy in my arms. That hill really inserted a lot of real-estate between us in the back of the pack and the front runners. But, we were always there right behind em, playing catch up. ZMR, you took some really good pics of the ride. Except the one where you caught me picking up my DRZ out of a hole; my back is to the camera and my dad(purple pants) is trying to put his on the kick-stand to come help me! But that was the only time I dumped it all day.:o The single-track was absolutely awesome!! The ravines/creek beds w/ all the rocks and small ledges were great too! Give me all that stuff and leave the whoops out and I think I would have been much faster and less tired and sore. BTW- I didn't see very many other folks attempting to keep up w/ you guys through the whoops on 260lb. bikes!!!! Maybe I coulda kept up if I had a lighter bike......I don't know. In closing, what a great trip! :) We will definitely be back next year. Maybe my wife will be riding by then too.

Spiff! Thanks Kiwi, you rock! These enchillada blackmail ones sound pretty spicey. ;)

Hard-Charger Award!!

I don't know who this guy is, but I give him an A+ for effort. Not only cause he was riding a DR350, but his attitude was *go get'em*. Gotta love it! I just got one question; is he a catcher for the Mariner's, a special-forces troop, or an escaped convict?? :p

 

[Dirtygirly]

Hehe! The Hard Charger would be my boyfriend, Ian. :) I think he is wearing his hockey goalie pads. Was his first time riding a motorcycle that weekend. :eek:

 

[angry jim]

It's been a week since the ride, and I still can't stop thinking about it. I've ridden twice this week, once at my favorite local spot, and I still can't get over Moonrocks.
Mr WR, awesome report, as usual. Sorry you missed sunday.
Desert Racer, I liked the way that bike looked. Way to bring in your wife for fashion consulting. That loop saturday afternoon was great huh. We should get together for a ride sometime. I've always wanted to go to Jawbone Canyon, maybe we can meet there sometime and have a NoCal/SoCal shootout.
MXBundy, all I can say is daaaaaannnnggg! My friend, Kelly, was still talking about you yesterday. "There was this giant guy on a YZ250f who could rip!" Yes he can rip on that little diesel. You were a proud member of the 6'+ team. There were some big guys out there!
Fremont Guy, too bad we didn't have a helmet cam for sundays ride. Will you ever forget those trails? You did darn well for someone who hasn't been riding all that long. Kelly and I went to Clear Creek yesterday. That place is really much tougher than Moonrocks. They still had the Enduro course marked and it was a good one.
TTR Guy, I see you at every get together, but somehow we never get to ride together. Good luck in STL.
Dude on the DRZ400, good report. That saturday morning run was fun. Those things do need the Jenny Craig teatment. As far as the whoops are concerned, you have to get a rythm going. Don't grip the bars to hard and try to stay loose. I thought Colorado had whoops like that. Or were you from southern cal. Way to hang in there though.
380exc man and Kevin, for some reason, I love the way those Husabergs look. Just different I guess. I really wish I could have taken one for a spin. Veron, you and Rodger were funny Saturday night, I should have gone to Q's with the gang.
Strick, I missed out on a 400 ride. I know you were too busy to accomodate everyone.
Endoquest, I think you sold a couple 520's. Please never let any of my friends ride that thing. Now I have another guy to worry about throwing giant rocks on me;) .
I'll be back!

We do have whoops in Colorado, but I avoid them as much as possible. Rampart Range however is LOADED with whoops. One trail that comes to mind is called the "powerline trail" good for a couple miles of nothing but whoops! Oh man, my body is aching just thinking about them:eek: Since I don't get to ride every weekend, I think the best thing for me is to intensify my workout program. Maybe I'll start doing some stairs; that should be good for me. Hard to get a rythym going if your beat up. Towards the middle of the ride I kinda caught my second wind and was flying through the whoops, but then they wore me out again. My suspension is still bone stock too so maybe a revalve is in its future. Thanx for the tips. See you next year! :)

Extra Chair?

Did someone leave a yellow fold up chair behind? If so I have it. It was left in my garage.

Did anyone get a close up picture of the pig??

 

[RetSenior]

Hate to butt in but you all make me SICK!

 

[Farmer John]

I'm with Ret!

You guys all make me sick :silly:

 

[Strick]

Sick???

I seem to be having that affect on people lately :mad:

 

[CJ Rider]

Hey McD- Check out the Gallery. I just posted those pics CSL took of you and "Air" Jordan! :)

 

[Bonehead]

Sorry I took So long then went on So long


Wow what a gas that was ! A GREAT BIG "THANKS" to Strick, Mimi and the rest of the gang, who helped put this together.
As a guy from the Pacific Northwest, that has only ridden in the desert two other times (Jawbone), this ride ranks at the top, of my most fun rides.
For me, this trip started with a 3 1/2 hr. run to Endoqwest's house Thursday night .We loaded Endows bike and gear, then commenced to party with friend, Rapids, till midnight. Up at 6:00a.m. Friday, on the road at 6:45. The drive to Reno went fast, and we were in Reno at 3:45 p.m. The box van that I borrowed held 55 gallons of diesel, so we didn’t have to stop till we were in Reno

Endow and I checked in and had to get a room upgrade right off the bat. Not that I spent much time in the room. I'm such a nice guy, I spent a night in the box van so I wouldn’t have to be woken up by endow yelling at me to quit snoring or him on the phone at 1:30 to the front desk asking for another room.

Friday night the dinner at the Mexican restaurant was great. All were eager to meet and get acquainted with each other.
Saturday morning , Endow and I got an early start and headed for the Moonrocks staging area to find some friends from home, Marshal and Pegasus . Knowing that it had rained that night we were stoked that there would be no dust and Velcro traction . Endow and I unloaded and suited up as more and more D.R.Ner's poured in . WOW, what a turnout. After a short riders meeting, we grouped up for the ride of are choice. .It just so happened to be the expert loop, lead by (Bobby Go like Hell ). ON Fridays drive to Reno, Endow and I talked about how we were just going to ride mid pack and have fun .Well that lasted about 10 seconds. As Bobby started down the road to the first trail, no one wanted to go first . Bobby was 75 yards out when endow and I looked at each other and dumped the clutch.. Down the road, hard right and 6th gear pinned threw the whoops. (so much for tacking it easy) The race was on ,a local guy that goes by Mouthy and Mxbundy started racing and from that point on it was 38 miles of full on gas and go. Mouthy MXBundy and I went bar to bar, passing each other back and forth running like an out of control roller coaster threw the sand wash's. Dam thow's sand wash's were fun!
The last few miles of trail were lead by local go fast by the nickname of Mouthy. I was back about 6 guy's when we came to a muddy uphill with two lines. I went left and all five of the guys in front of me went right. The first guy on the right didn’t make it and it looked like a poker run bottleneck, someone behind me didn’t make the left line and plugged it up tight . After every one got to the top we regrouped for the last time. The last few miles were great single track with lots of rocks . Mouthy and I were running nose to tail when we got to the big downhill back to the staging area . Mouthy, stops and points me to a big rock outcropping to the right, knowing I would go that way he waited for the rest of the pack. He said it was a shortcut and off I went threw 20 yards of pumpkin sized rocks then a two step, 12' drop-off, that put you right at the top of the downhill. Down I go back to the van for some lunch and story telling about the days first ride.
After lunch and some story telling, Endow, Marshal and I went off to see what we could find in the way of new trails. Now when Endow asks you if you want to go find new trails or more like make new trails, top off your gas and check to see if the flashlight in your fanny pack works. We took off out of camp and went up the big downhill, Going up the hill at 4:00 p.m. the sun is in your eyes so bad that you cant see two feet in front of you but we made it anyway including up the rock pile shortcut . We ran the single track from the last part of the ride backwards and ran into Mouthy and some of his local riding buddies. We sat and bench raced and laughed for about a 1/2 hr. then it was back to the sploring ,we found a big long sand uphill that we crossed on the earlier ride ,it just had to be climbed so we climbed it . From the top we headed off to the right and then started down a ridge back that had a mean drop-off that endowqwest got his wish after hanging up on a hunk of sage brush. I think he was at least 20 feet below his bike . Why marshal didn’t get a picture of that I don’t know. From the bottom it was getting dark so we headed back to the van . After a quick shower it was off for the pizza house I think we must have over whelmed them with the size of are group by the way the number system worked .It was all worth it just to listen to all the stories of the day. After the pizza a group of us ended up at a pool hall where Endow and I found are friend Jim Beam After spending too much time with Jim Beam and some great bench racing we all headed back to the Peppermill . I opted to sleep in the box van to keep from getting woken up by Endow, yelling at me for snoring
Sunday Endow and I were not the first to Moon rocks do to spending to much time with Jimmy . We geared up so we could go do some rock climbing, to get warmed up for the second days ride and kill some time wile everyone else was getting ready. Endow had found a line up a steep rock that had a 3 foot gap that you had to wheely over at the top. I did that line a few times and started looking for a harder rock to climb, well I found it. It was about ten feet to the left and looked like a big potato, leaning against a wall rounded over the top and off both sides. The first time I committed to going up I said to myself this might be a little much but made the top and stalled ,next attempt I new the traction was great and didn’t hesitate but stalled at the top again . The third try I tried in first gear, two feet up the rock, I new I was in trouble, .wheel spin, not good ,back off and fall off the face. I kept the gas on, broke over the top with each wheel off opposite sides of the face, A10 foot drop to the left,5 foot crack to the right The 520, wanted the crack. I dismounted to the high side rock and watched my 520 wedge itself upside down in the crack. (A PATETEND BONEHEAD MOOVE). After Kiwi got the pictures he was hoping for and Endow stopped laughing we dislodged the 520 from the crack and drug it to the top . Endow went looking for new lines and I had to follow it was strait up a wall that broke over threw a small crack that dropped strait off the back . Enough rock climbing for that day the ride was ready to start Endow and I opted for the intermediate loop so we could spend some time with Strick Thanks again for all your hard work Strick.
The Sunday ride started out with 20 plus riders heading out to see Strick's pig I have never seen a guy so happy to show off a dead pig. When we were looking at the dead pig the rest of the pack never showed up. Strick headed back to see what happened and hear comes G.S.R. Telling us that DirtyDave, had crashed bad and to come back. Well we ride back to the crash zone to find DirtyDave back on his feet and wanting to continue the ride. You could tell that it was a bad crash by the way the ground was tour up for about 20 yards. DirtyDave finally gets the big Husky going and I take off behind him. We go about 1/4 mile down the whoops and DirtyDave pulls to the side. The first thing I thought was the crash cought up with him but it was only that he forgot to tern his gas back on . I think he had to kick that Husky 50 times to get it started. Off again ,down the fast whoops on a trail that lead back to the Moon rocks. At this point all the gals bailed off and DirtyDave was so tired from kicking that Husky he headed back also. Off we go again long fast whoops to some single track then a real fast road that lead us to a trail section that had about a foot of snow. Some of the So. Cal. Guys were so excited to see snow they would go about ten yards and throw their bike down and start making snow angels. We regrouped at the bottom and headed off down a road to a fast wash and back to a road . Strick said Moon rocks are that way on that road and we lost another ten riders. The last few miles back to Moon rocks were fast down a pipeline road (I think) that had some great jumps every 100 yards then down a fence line back to the main trails back to Moon rocks. Almost back, Endow spots a new hill climb. I had the high mark for a little wile then Endow went over the top clean. One more try for me and I showed off my patented loop out spin move. Marshal just so happened to get a great shot of it . He follows me just to get action shots .
The drive home was uneventful back to Endows house we found a new line and shaved another 1/2hr off the drive. After unloading endows stuff we watched some video that we shot of the trip. It was back on the road for me I was making good time and was within 1/2 hr from home when the rear seal in the transmission of the BORROWED BOX VAN spit right out . thank god I was right at a rest stop exit. Well 5hrs later and $175 tow bill I was home

Hi guys,

Bundy here, checking in at last.
What can be said that hasnt already been said. Not much, everyone else hit the bullseye with there reports.

My trip started out fun and ended the same way.
Desert-Racer and Tee where banging on my door at 5 am, and I had that feeling in my gut that this was the start of something special, a trip that would be told over desert campfires for years to come. And I was not let down.
From the Reno Vet Nationals that was the expert ride on Sat morn. to the snow trials on Sun. This was one to remember.
As always everyone from DRN was a pleasure to meet and socialize with.
Endo, Bonehead, I gotta make it up to your neck of the woods to shread some trails. i`ve been wanting an excuse to go up there for a long time.
Angry Jim and all the Norcal crew, same to you guys.
To everyone, thanks for putting up with my dry humor and letting me by on the trails like that.
But especially thanks to DR for the ride and accomadations on this trip. Thanks Buddy.
And a big thanks to Strick, with out whom this would not have been possible.
Also thanks to Strick and Endo for letting me thrash your bikes, 380exc man too.

later mxbundy

PS I hate too say it, but I am seriously thinking of going orange in the near future.
Any one wanna buy a slightly used 250F, its only been rode on everyother weekend by a 6`4", 265# DRN spode, so you know its hardly been used.:p
