Valentine Reno Ride

pinenut · Feb 8, 2003

Serpa -Do your littleguys ride? I'm going to bring mine on sunday or possably friday afternoon .They want to try the (hairball) track they heard about. I'll be going through Carson around 9am . I too have never been there . Strick Where is the stageing area?

Strick · Feb 8, 2003

The staging area now has signs on Winnemucca Ranch road, but here is a quick recap. Pyramid highway - north about 20 miles from Sparks (McCarran/Pyramid intersection), to Winnemucca Ranch Road (road sign on left 200 yards before road) turn left, Drive 4.5 miles on pavement (which will end) ~1 mile on dirt, turn left at the Moonrocks staging area sign. You will see HUGE stacks of hay on your right just before the left onto the Moonrocks road. Maybe 1/2 mile to the staging area. You cannot miss it. It is right in front of the Moonrocks on your right.

SERPA · Feb 9, 2003

Pinenut, my 3 year old rides a 50, fresh off the training wheels, not ready for the track yet. My youngest turns 2 sunday, so no ride then. I'm shooting for saturday, but I'm riding two days this weekend so.... If I don't hook up saturday, shoot me an e-mail and let me know how it was. KEITHSERPA@AOL.COM

Can't wait...is it just me or is the time just dragging on?
THINK RAIN

Strick · Feb 10, 2003

Rain forecasted Wednesday and Thurday. Those times are great call me when you get close. I am e-mailing you my cell number.

E-Ticket · Feb 10, 2003

Strick, it's probably a good time to remind people that this is winter and it is Reno. And that we could be in the 20s and snowing a bit or it could be 50 and sunny. I believe we had both last year....<grin>

Either way, everybody should be preparing for all kinds of weather/riding.
You can't put it on if you don't bring it along....!

Gettin' excited...! - Randy B.

Strick · Feb 10, 2003

Thanks for the reminder to everyone. The forecast is rain Wed & Thurs, 50's Fri, Sat, Sun.

REMINDER

Just like last year Reno Motor Sports is offering all DRN attendees 10% off all parts, equipment, accessories, and clothing (excluding tires). Just tell them you are here with Dirtrider.net (not DRN) to get the discount. Or you could also mention 'Strick'

Iron Maiden - did Steph get my directions? Send me a PM with your e-mail and I will e-mail them to you. Steph has reserved my XR-200 for the weekend.

Strick · Feb 13, 2003

For those of you that are making this your high desert trifecta (I mean 3rd year attendees) WILL believe what I am about to post. Those of you who are making it out to Reno for your first time must just take a leap of faith and understand just how MAGICAL the Valentines day gathering really is.

Drum roll please>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

IT IS RAINING! :whiner: :whiner: :whiner: :worship: :worship:

Strick · Feb 13, 2003

What does that mean in the high desert? Perfect soil. Have you ever just once had traction EVERY single time you needed it? Welcome to Reno. We are going to rail!

SirThumper · Feb 13, 2003

wet, sandy, dirt....I feel sorry for whoever is behind me. :p

:yeehaw:

......Oh, then I am out. I never ride in the rain. It makes my pristine bike all dirty.

Just kidding

SFO · Feb 13, 2003

I have the woods gearing on our bikes now, are we going to be going over 60mph? Been thinking about swapping to the baja set-up.
Strick, John?
Help :scream:

380EXCman · Feb 13, 2003

With that little girly 450? :moon:

Strick · Feb 13, 2003

60 is fast enough. There are a couple of spots where an advanced rider might ride 70 or so, but 2 or 3 times the whole weekend. We are going to be riding a lot of single track, washes, ravines, etc. I would not go to the extra effort, if you just have to change it back when you get home. My gearing has been dropped tremendously: 13/52 from 14/50 and I have no issues on top.

Just get here and ride, your gearing will be fine. See you soon!

I guess I better leave the 500 at home & bring the XR250.... Wouldn't want to roost EXC380man. Hmm, wonder if I can get a new tire for the KX today :aj:

Ha, your just jealous :laugh:

If I remember right it was a mere 400/426 that roughed you up pretty good. If you can't hand the power of the big YZ's ride a blue and yellow bike. :laugh: :)

Farmer John · Feb 13, 2003

Just bring your optional gearing with you.
Moon rocks has tight dez canyons & climbs that are quite enjoyable with norcal woods gearing.

I've currently got 13/52 on a ktm 440 exc. I am bringing a 14th counter incase I feel too low.
