Chihuahuan Desert Hard Dual Sport Ride 2024
Thursday, March 7th thru Saturday, March 9th
Like the other Hard Dual Sport Breakfast Series rides, this a no host, no sign up, no entry fee, no tracks, self-guided ride.
Just a loose get-together for the hard dual sport community to get out and ride, enjoy camaraderie, exploration, growth, and being safe; in addition to developing and renewing friendships so no one rides alone.
Just show up, ride when you want, where you want, with whom you want, how you want.
***Most riders will be on plated dirt bikes or the most off-road worthy street legal dual sports.
This is a hard dual sport ride however there are plentiful adventure riding opportunities in the area.
Sleep
Motel
Base motel - PM me for details.
There are many short term rentals, motels / hotels in the area to be able to find a comfortable spot.
Also camping options in the area.
Eating
Daily breakfasts
The motel offers a free breakfast.
Nightly dinners
Group decision, lots of options available.
Riding
Groups take off around 9a Thursday - Saturday from the base motel.
On truly street legal dual sport motorcycles. Non-street legal bikes can truck or trailer to a starting point in the desert.
As the ride is self-guided join a group or lead one; it is beneficial if possible to group up by:
If the group groove isn't what you expected, be prepared to split up the group up further to increase everyone's enjoyment and comfort.
Be prepared for a minimum of 90 miles or so between fuel stops.
Group etiquette:
***To keep the group moving, avoid the dust and so no one gets separated, the daisy chain method works great if everyone simply makes sure the rider directly behind them, and so on, acknowledges the turn, etc when the direction to continue isn't 100% obvious. Just because you see the rider behind you it doesn't mean they see you, and the proper direction to continue. The rider behind should make some kind of acknowledgement (thumbs up, head nod, etc.) to the waiting rider that they see you and understand which way continue before they take off.
To work though, each rider (except the sweep rider) must take responsibility for the rider directly behind them. IF NOT its a total failure.
Instead we will ALL wait at the turns for all riders to group up before taking off.
If you do get separated, stop at the last known spot the group has ridden, the group with backtrack to you.
If you decide to break off from the group, tell the group leader before you do.
