Looks like the forest just reopened. I'll be there !!!!
I'm so happy . I can't describe my hate for anything over 85F. Getting old I guess.

Welcome back! The Lincoln National Forest will reopen on Friday, June 24, 2022, at 8am after being closed for a month due to fire danger. All three districts of the national forest received substantial rain over the past two weeks which significantly lowered fire danger. More rain is forecasted over the coming weeks for the forest. Forest lands, roads, trails, recreation sites, and campgrounds will again be open to visitors.
Official Termination of the Closure Order
I wish I could be there tomorrow!!!

Hope all you guys have a great trip but what about damage to the trails due to the flooding?
Some of those single tracks will be harder because of the rains, just depends on what you want to ride. I already checked out one of the roads i like and it wasnt bad.

I have an idea for an epic advanced dual sport route. Going to start putting it together next weekend and see how it pans out but it will cover all corners and the middle of the Sacramento region from the high desert to the top of the forest. More to come and no hints either.

Don't know much about those bikes but like anything more dependent on the rider. There could be work arounds pretty easy too.. I am laying it all out on a 950 Adventure, but I ride it like a regular dirt bike pretty much. Some of the two track will be fairly rough and rocky, depending on what you are used to. Also I want it to be a full day ride, so once I get out and get an idea of pace, time and distance I will modify as needed.
I don't plan by GPS or routing programs either. so planning from a rough draft in my mind, then riding it to work it out.

I like your style!
Glad I'm spend the extra time in the garage to prepare.

Well my XR won't make it this year, I got a call from the suspension shop this morning, UPS lost my shock, the forks did arrive, all were sent in the same gun case. A gun case I used for other suspension shipping. Still trying to process that...
While I search for a replacement shock I bought a new dirt bike, to be unveiled at the ride.

Hmmm. Fragile. Must be Italian.
Interesting that the shock alone disappeared from inside the sealed case, velly velly interesting.

Hopefully his bike, hubs, helmet, boots, jersey and backpack match his bike this time. I was so embarrassed for him in Las Cruces a couple months ago

I spent the entire day Saturday working out my epic Sacramento Mountains route that I have in my head. I got about half way through and had 100 miles, part of it on some stuff I have never ridden before, and I have been going up to CC for 30 years. I got into some stuff that was quite a challenge on a big bike, and then some epic Cloudcroft mud, all on my 950. Luckily I was with the one person that likes to be punished as much as I do on a big bike.
There is no way that the full route, once I actually get to all of it, will be appropriate for a group ride. However, split up into smaller chunks it would be fun for a small group. It will also be fun for lightweight street legal motorcycles, as it has some technical spots for sure.
