Found some fun stuff for my Invitational GPS NV600 Dual Sport
3 days, two nights May 29th- 31st
Thanks to Jeff, Kip, Terry and John for a good ride, Thanks to Malcolm for helping set up this ride
We had some technical single track, and some fun 70+mph runs.
600 miles across Nevada, Some cool old Ghost towns, some great mountain passes. 4700 ft to 9500 ft
No Chase truck so you must pack all your gear for the ride on your bike, it's an adventure.
Pass above Gardnerville before breakfast
Breakfast an hour and a half into the ride, Great Chorrizo and eggs at Rosies Place in Wellington
Climb above Rockland, home of the ICE MINE
Even The Mighty 800 GS made it!
and made it back down.
The ICE MINE
Only I had a flat, BMW riders come prepared, Electric Pump, Oh Yeah!
A view from the start of the Single track above Middlegate Station
While we where finishing off day one with some fun Single track John was at the Middle gate bar. Need a smaller bike John.
How often do you have to move Tumbleweeds to use the head? Gotta love the Old West
Having a few cold ones before Dinner, I tell them what is in store for them tomorrow
Middlegate Station, since 1859. Former Hangout of the "Blue Nunn" ask Kyle & Kevin
Waiting for Dinner
Home of the one pounder.
After dinner John Kick'd me arse at the shoes
then he thought this might make a better mount than the 800, Amazing what a guy will do after a little alcohol .
Then the boys took the buggy back to the Motel
Day two lot's of single track
"Ouch that rock was taller than I thought, There goes that Touratech Skid plate"
Why is it new bikes don't look new after one of my rides????
adding a little gas
Lot's of water crossings
Jeff having fun, It is amazing what a guy will do with no Alcohol!
Lots of old mines to see.
Ready for BAJA
A few wild horses.
Across the dry lake to lunch in Austin.
and then it got ugly for the 800
He made it look easy.
a Stop at the Ichthyosaur Fossil
"Damm we gotta go down there, Gimme a minute"
