I am new to this group and this event, but I love the Big Bend area and know it reasonably well - though have never ridden down there. I have not registered yet but planning to come down from Dallas on Thursday and be there by dinner time.
Is that too late? Should I try to come a day earlier? Is there still enough to do Friday and Saturday if I come late Thursday? I saw that the newbie ride is Thursday morning?
My other dilemma - I have a DRZ400, and Triumph Tiger 800 xcx and a Kawasaki KLX140. What should I bring? I will be trailering, though I first thought with the nice weather I would ride down on the Tiger.
I just don't know the different rides you are doing and don't know anyone. Have always wanted to ride Pinto Canyon out of Marfa. Is that part of the ride that goes to Marfa? What is percentage of participants on adventure bikes vs. dirt bikes? Also, I am not good on technical hills, so that would be an issue for me for the dirt rides if they are advanced.
Anyone camping at Rancho Topango in Terlingua? I have only been down in a car before and have stayed at Lajitas, and hotels in Alpine and Ft. Davis, so not too familiar with the Terlingua lodging....
