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.

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.

  Hey Greg !
          Thanks for hosting the day ride at Hollister Hills, the new area was fun to ride and the burgers and cookies were great.
                                  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. It would be faster if you can load them on your time instead of Saturday morning, if you cant load them all on to your unit. No worries I will be taking my laptop with me for satuday and sunday. Need more info please fill free to drop a line at ktm200@volcano.net, cell 209-304-4483, home 209-296-6588. Email gets faster responce time. Will see you all next month.

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.
Tim-

Sounds good Tim. I have other plans for the July 12th weekend, but am available to help on the weekends after that. Post up, e-mail me or phone me to let me know your trail work schedule.

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).
