Any RUTSters interested in riding Mariposa this Saturday?

Carl <><

 Just a pre Thanksgiving note to stop and ponder all the things that we are thankful for.
 I think everyday is one on top of the list ! Thank you God !

What a great time we had at Mariposa! It was awesome seeing our Northern brothers and sister, the Fresno gang Moto-Ministries, as well as the guys from Westgate Church! I hope to see some of you in a few weeks at the RUTS Fresno ride. Huge thanks to the Slatterys for hosting and the ladies that helped with the gas & lunch stop.

RUTS North will be having a trail ride at Stoneyford November 27-30th with a good size group going up and riding the 29th on Saturday.
Davis Flat is a good campground with toilets and pleny of area to camp. I would stay away from the Familey Enduro, too many riders going one way and honestly Thanksgiving weekend is a bad time to go too but some of us if the weather is good will be going if you would like to ride with some RUTS riders. Oh and the below message about kitchen supplies is what we call spam, we got is once so not a bad track record, just have Dan P remove it if it keeps happening, to bad they did not leave an email I could use some some different species of hardwood lumber.

Be extremely careful if you go the weekend of Nov 22-23, there is a Family enduro that will have approximately 400 riders. There have been quite a few head ons lately as the park doesn't close to the public for such events. Also be prepared to ride in the cold, rain, and snow since the weather
can change rapidly. Steve Koretoff, Fresno Phil and myself are doing the enduro if anyone's interested.


Carl <><

Anyone have camping/riding suggestions for Stonyford area? A couple of buddies and myself are going for the first time in a couple of weeks-Thanks

Dave,
We are leaving around 12:30 pm. We have room if Gayle can go then.

To all you High Sierra 250 Dual Sport Types. I dug up a forecast to check for rain. Looks like no sign of it, but this is the Sierra's. 90 degree days, 45 degree nights. Bring water and be prepared in case you break and get stuck after dark. Carry tools and tow "robes" (per Tim).

Just want to thank all you CC RUTS Riders for supporting my wife and I in making the trip up here to ride our dual sport ride. All you riders and Club members have been my bread and butter over the four years that we have done this. We will be doing our best to make you a good and fun ride this weekend. Also a shout out prayer request for Cliff Williams who cant make the ride this year. Cliff was all set to ride with Dave Dixon when he dislocated his tipula fibula from this foot last week. Cliff is from Bakersfield and has been riding our event for the past two years but not this year. Agin thanks for everyone that is comming up to ride and we will see you Friday evening.

4 days and a wake up until the Dual Sport!!!

HEY ALL, THE HIGH SIERRA 250 IS IN LESS THAN TWO WEEKS. IF YOU THINK YOU WANT TO RIDE BUT STILL ARE NOT SURE PLEASE STILL LET ME KNOW SO I CAN MAKE ENOUGH ROUTE SHEETS. EVEN IF YOU ARE ONLY 50% THAT YOU CAN MAKE IT OR NOT I WOULD STILL LIKE TO KNOW JUST TO BE READY. I WOULD RATHER THROW THE EXCESS AWAY THAN NOT TO HAVE ENOUGH. SIGN IN WILL BE FROM 5:30PM TO 7PM ON FRIDAY AND FROM 5:30AM TO 8AM ON SATURDAY. IF YOU ARE BRINGING GPS BRING YOUR DADA CABLES, IF YOU WOULD LIKE ME TO EMAIL YOU THE GPS TRACKS LET ME KNOW. MAKE YOUR HOTEL RESERVATIONS AND MAKE SURE YOUR BIKE IS READY WITH A FULL TANK OF GAS. SEE EVERYONE AT ELKINS ON THE 23RD.
TIM- ktm200@volcano.net http://www.rutsnorth.org/id22.html

Thanks for those that were able to make it out to Hollister. It was a hot day but the riding and fellowship made it all worth it. F.Y.I., the new trails that were built at Hollister were a lot of fun and very easy to navigate your way around...I can't wait untill they are a little more damp for better traction..

Hope to see you all either at Morningstar or the upcoming dual sport ride.

                                  Thanks again Dave
  Happy Birthday Scotty, I sure hope you drive your cars slower than you ride that KTM !!!!!!

The High Sierra 250 route sheets are done, just doing some final tuning so all right turns are going right and lefts are left. Remeber to make your Hotel Reservations soon and not at the last minute, all that info can be found on the High Sierra 250 flyer online at www.rutsnorth.org.For those of you planning to use your gps, the tracks are done and if you want a preview so as to load them onto your gps unit please email me and I will send them to you.

Hey Carl thanks for wanting to help out. Due to my work schedual I do most of my development days durring the weekdays. I'm only doing July 11th-13th because we are camping with the Lampman's and they to have DS bikes. But I will let everyone know what days I plan to go out and again all are invited on our July campout. We plan to do two major loops and have luch stops inbetween so bring some cash for gas and food.

Hey guys we will be doing the High Sierra 200 Dual Sport ride for 2008. the date I am choosing is August 23-24th starting from Elkins Flat and riding to Topaz Lake. Spend the night and ride back, I hope to have both a route sheet and Garmin GPS tracks too. In the meantime I will be developing the ride form week to week and July 11th, 12th, and 13th we will be Camping in the Hope Valley area off hwy 88 designing the route from Kirkwood to Topaz and from Topaz to Sundays gas. Anyone interested in coming out and riding with us is invited. Also two weeks later in September 3rd, 4th and 5th we will be doing a Tahoe Dual sport ride, exploring the trails and 4x4 roads in the area, and again all are invited to ride with us. Let me know if you are interested so we can save you a camping spot for the July outing, if you dont want to camp. Kirkwood resort is open and Tahoe is only 20 to 30 miles away.
Tim- my e mail is ktm200@volcano.net, my phone # is 209-296-6588 but I am an e mail kind of a guy and will respond quicker to e mail.

Hey Colin, here's one for you. http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/mcy/729039150.html

I'm in with possibly two buddies. I was signed up for the Ruts North DS ride last fall that was canceled due to a system bringing in snow down to 4000'. As a suggestion Carl (if you be da point man for this endeavor) contact Mr. Ruts North and pick up his program for what he was planning. The plan was to stage at Kyburz (On Hwy 50) then ride the Rubicon over to South Lake Tahoe, spend the night and ride a mix of pavement and fire roads back the following day. It really sounded like a hoot to me. In my disappointment of the cancellation, I struck out on my own and rode to Kings Canyon...and got snowed on there anyway (burrr). Anyway, I'm in (+2).

Carl,

Would love to try some DS riding....you have any lines on a good used DS bike? to buy or borrow....:-)

Colin

Hi Brothers,

Is anyone planning a ride in the near future? I'm game for some DS riding in the Sierras if anyone's interested, or maybe even some local stuff.

Carl <><

We can't make it to Ruts200 or the Whiskey ride......so the boys and I are doing a day trip to Hollister. Will be at Radio Ridge about 9AM if anyone is interested in joining.

Colin

I know this falls on the same day as the RUTS 200, but I wanted to let everyone know all the same. It is the last day red stickers are allowed so we figered with the excellent weather conditions we better make the most of it.

RUTS Whiskey Falls Ride - May 31, 2008



Att. RUTS Riders - Hope everyone is doing well. I spoke with Steve K. today & we firmed up plans on the Whiskey ride. Here's the plan, We will meet at the "Shell Station & Mini Mart" on Road 400 at the first Bass Lake turn off, a couple miles before you get to the town of North Fork ( We will be meeting at 8:00 AM - please don't be late , We will leave by 8:25!!!!) . If your not familiar where Road 400 is, it is the Oneal's turn off, on HYW 41, turn east toward North fork and its about 15 to 20 miles. This should be a great ride, the mountains are getting rain this weekend so no dust and good traction. The club will be providing lunch for everyone so no need to bring your own. Lunch will be our famous" RUTS trail dogs" (hot dogs), chips and soda free of charge. - All are invited, but we need to get a head count so we know how many are coming. I want to ask that anybody going riding with the club, have proper personal safety gear, this is mandatory for everybody own safety! The terrain is very rough with lots of rock, we want NO injury's. We will also require everybody to sign a release of liability form at all RUTS events. This is just to protect Central Valley RUTS from liability. Forms will be provided at the ride. I would ask everybody to lift up the event in prayer, that there would be no injury, no bike brake downs and all would have a great time. I'm really look forward to the ride, hope You can attend - God Bless Greg Amos

Anyone interested in a Hollister Hills day trip this Saturday 5-24-08? We'll be heading out early and trying to get a spot on Radio Ridge, otherwise look for us at the vintage track day use area.

Anyone interested in going to the EPA meeting in Santa Clara on Thursday
5/8/08 ??
I can leave Santa Cruz about 4:30 or 5:00.
This meeting is from 6-9 pm and it's in all our interest to attend and see
what can be done to save Clear Creek from a permanent closure.

If you want to drive over, call me on my cell @ 831-345-3324 during the day.
Greg

I am planning on attending the EPA/BLM meeting after work as well. Hope to see you there.

Hey Carl
  Going to go after work, see you there.

Ruts North is having their event at Forest Hill May 30-31, Dinner on Saturday is going to be catered, no charge for the ride but dinner well cost some bucks.
  I heard the snow has melted, and the conditions are good. Maybe a bunch of us could carpool ?

Any RUTSters going to the EPA\BLM meeting Thur May 8th? The meeting will be held from 6-9pm at the Santa Clara Convention Center. The more folks in the OHV community attending the better. I will leave from work and try to get there by 5pm. I hope to see you all there.

Save Clear Creek!

Edited by author 05-03-2008 02:31 AM
I just got a letter from the BLM office. As you know Clear Creek is now under a "temporary closure" order due to the EPA report that was just released. As a result refunds are being issued to those that got season passes. Refunds will be based on a single visit to Clear Creek.
Also included in the letter from the BLM are hearing dates. For those of you that didn't buy season passes, I doubt you'll get this letters. So I will post the letters on the web site.

What a bummer.

A sad day indeed.......But as Carl stated....Praise God for the good times we were blessed with down at CC. Even though the govt made this move, we know that God is ultimately in charge and all thinks work together acording to His purpose.

Stonyford and Georgetown are both awesome with a travel time of 4 hrs. Our Fresno RUTS brothers have a nice variety of riding spots within 3 hrs. I met a bunch of guys at Clear Creek a few years ago that all went in on a retired school bus. They had removed the seats in the rear to accomodate about 10 bikes and kept the front 3-4 rows of seats for passengers. They also had a generator, refrigerator and some folding beds mounted to the side walls of the bus. I think they paid $3500 or so and it was in pretty nice shape.

Carl

Hi Carl,
I’m curious, considering Clear Creek’s closure, what are your next favorite places to ride?

I guess our riding may require a bit more driving in the future, but if we buddy-up it should still be fun. RUTS may need to find a fuel efficient multiple person transport vehicle and really large trailer so ride-sharing can reduce the transportation costs, going to farther places in style!

Blessings,
Bill

Edited by author 04-30-2008 06:30 PM
I just received word that Clear Creek is closed for the next 18-24 months due to the EPA report to be released tomorrow. I called Leslie Smith at BLM and she said not to bother showing up Saturday for the remaining course clean up. BLM will make the official announcement tomorrow, and it will be a sad day indeed. Praise God for the awesome times and events we've been blessed with over the years.

Well, Saturday is almost here and we really need volunteers for course pickup.
 You do know that Clear Creek well have a dry weather closure, so this could be the last time to ride there until October, so come on, post up! Meeting place is Oak Flat 9am Saturday.
                                See you there
                                      Dave R

Thanks goes out to all the Rutster's that put so much effort into a great ride weekend....All the folks in the Boogie Box had a great time.

I am not going to be able to make it to the clean up ride this weekend but I do have a reward offer.

$25 goes to anyone who finds a KTM exc200 kickstand!

It is somewhere on the afternoon section of the yellow ride....Matt thinks it is between lumps riding area (corner of R5 and R8) and half way down R5 on the way to R1.

Remember $25 to anyone who finds it.....

Happy hunting :-)

Colin

    Just a quick note to say thanks to all the faithful hard workers that made this event so wonderful. It was great to meet some new friends, and visit with old ones. God sure was with us . Thanks goes out to Tim Sumrall, who has already posted Fun Run pics on Norths site.

   Like Tracy said we sure could use help taking down the yellow and orange courses. 8 riders could get the courses down in 1 day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  If you have said to yourself I would like to help out, this is your chance.
  Its alot of work but quicker than set up, so POST UP

Thanks to all the CCR people for another great Fun Ride!

I would like to thank every one for making this years event another great one. I hope everyone had a good time.

If anyone still has some ride left in them, we could really use some help taking the course down this Saturday 4/26. Might get a little rain, could make for some good riding.

Thanks, Tracy

Thanks to RUTS for allowing us to participate in a great weekend at Clear Creek. You guys are awesome. The riding was incredible.....Maybe we can come back next year?

Carl,
  My wife, Sandra, and I will be there in time for dinner Friday... see You then. Have a safe trip...

If anyone want to come early to pre-ride or help with set up, a group of us will be in our staging area late Tuesday.
Thanks

Carl, is there a chance you can share the routes your group will be taking and start time. The reason I ask is I will be with another large group this weekend (15-20 people) and would like to try to avoid getting in the way and avoid any possible collisions etc. We will most likely split into a few small groups but it doesnt hurt to prepare.

Thanks

Thanks Carl, I know the place, the airstrip. I had no idea of this event as Im not a member of your club I just came across the flyer, looks like a fun time.

Hi Larry,

The event will be staging in the field with rhe red barn near the main entrance of CCMA just as you cross the creek. Some of our club members will be there Tues-Sun so you can't miss it.

Carl

Where is this event taking place? are you staging out of the Salinas Ramblers site?

Hi everyone. Salinas Ramblers have directions to Clear Creek on their website. We'll work on getting them put directly on our site also. But here is a link for now:

I'm planning on going down the Clear Creek on the weekend of April 5-6 to help set up the course for the Fun Run. So far it's just me, my big old F-350, trailer and my bike that will be departing Saturday morning (April 5). I have tons of room for 2 to 3 passengers, gear and bikes if anyone wants to throw in for some diesel and carpool. I plan on staying the night on Saturday and heading back to the Bay Area some time on Sunday (April 6). I live in the Campbell/San Jose area, so if your interested please e-mail at dan@prxy.org or call me on my cell phone @ 8953.014.804 (note phone number is backwards to foil internet spybots).

Sorry Carl, I missed your call last week. I may not be able to make the Fun Run this year, but I'm planning on helping out as much as possible. I may show on Sunday morning (April 19) to help clean up and haul stuff out.

Hey Brothers, it was fun riding with you all last weekend and meeting Pat's friends Chris Thomas and Mark. Hey Chris, give me a call if you want to ride Clear Creek sometime.

I have had my EXC 200 for over six years, it is a great bike. I,m 5' 10" 180 pound, plenty of power.
It is a very forgiving trail bike.
Come on down to Clear Creek this weekend and give it a try.

Hey Carl,

It looks like there may be as many as ten riders possibily more. I hope to split into two groups, hoping you can lead one. One group can ride the before lunch loop and the other group can ride after lunch loop. If you have another idea I'm open.
I hope to be at Oak Flats by 4:00pm on Friday. I still have space in the RV for you, let me know.

Dave, Is that your plated xr200?

Hey Colin,

If you're sill looking for a KTM 200 you might want to check this one out. I have ridden with Kit several times and the bike is pretty clean.

Hey Tracy,

As of today I am still planning on going to Clear Creek this Sat-Sun.
Do you have a plan and a head count yet? Let me know if you need anything.

Carl

I will be racing the Wild Boar Sunday March 9, and should roll in to the pits Saturday afternoon. Hopefully I will see you guys there after your victory!

Any Rutsters going to the Piglet family enduro ? I am going and maybe Doug Reynolds.

The EXC 200 is a great bike. I know several people (Adults) who ride them and have a great time on them. They are KTM built so very dependable and very trail worthy. They are great trail bikes, lots of low end and very easy to handle...... I don't know your son but if he is like any young person......your son will fly!!!!! 2K is a good price, but with anything... check it out.

Colin,

My son Scott rides a 2001 KTM 200 EX/C.

This is a great bike, nice power, lightweight and great for trails as it has a decent low end for a 2 stroke engine. I have ridden it many times and always have fun on it myself.
That is a fair price for the bike (depending on condition and accessorys)

I'm heading down to Clear Creek (Saturday only) to help Tracy. I'm looking to share a ride down there (split gas). I can either drive or tag along in your rig. Tracy said we're staging at Oak Flat at around 8:30am. Look for Tracy's motorhome (White Tioga, no graphics). Please call my cell if interested in the car pool idea 831.239.3359

Thanks! mh

Ruster KTMers....My son is looking to get a bigger bike. One option is the KTM 200 exc....I don't know much about these bikes. Are their perferable years (Green sticker '02 or earlier). Is there diferences between ex exc etc that I need to be aware of on that bike? What should a buyer of this used bike look out for?

There is a 2000 200 exc listed for $2K on craigslist....Is that a good price for this bike?

I will be at Clear Creek this weekend Mar. 1st and 2nd checking out more of the orange course. If any one can come down it would be a huge help. Also planning to be there on Mar. 15th and 16th.
Please let me know if you can be there either weekend.

Thanks to Dave Rorvik for setting up the ride and getting the adventure
