Maybe it's crazy to start a planning thread for a ride that is ten months away, but posts will keep coming in on the 2016 thread if we don't. So this is an opportunity to discuss logistics, equipment, etc. for those planning to go or those just interested in the 450+ mile desert dual sport ride.
For anyone unfamiliar with the ride, the starting point is Palmdale, California and goes to Barstow on the Friday after Thanksgiving. The second day starts at the Barstow Ramada Inn and ends at the Orleans Casino in Las Vegas. In between the route crosses various desert OHV areas and BLM land that is normally closed to off road riding, so this is a once a year opportunity. AMA District 37 sponsors this as a tribute ride to the old Barstow to Vegas desert race of the 60s.
Formal registration will begin in the early summer. In the mean time it is never too early to book a hotel.
