Arizona is coming! As the trip approaches I will continue to update with items that I think will be of help. Save this as a favorite on your browser and check occasionally.
Some common facts and info
- Day temp is typically 70 to 76 and nights high 40s
- Rain is possible this time of year
- Dust can be a problem when riding in a large group
- This area can contain snakes, cattle, donkeys, and plenty of cactus
- The terrain is a wide mix of hard pack, sand, rocks and altitudes of
4500ft max. I use factory jetting with no problems
- Wickenburg has a nice selection of restaurants along with all general
stores and shops for any needs you may have within walking distance.
- The women that are along might enjoy the pool, day trips, horseback
riding, or helping to support the riders at base camp
Info on the bike transportation and equipment suggestions
- Your bike needs to be delivered prior to December 25th
- 1 reasonable size suitcase, gear bag, and parts box for transport with me
- Fresh tires & chain / sprockets are suggested due to mileage possibilities
- If your bike does not have a tag you need to contact me
- Bark Busters & skid plate are HIGHLY recommended
- A Topo GPS would be good but not absolutely necessary. At the very
least a compass
- Safety stuff like; first aid kit / tow rope / 21" tube / flashlight / snake bite kit
trailside tool kit / spare critical parts / warm torso clothing / matches / cell phone / tire repair capability / water / snack bars
riding, or helping to support the riders at base camp
We meet you all at the airport and transport you to the hotel. That evening we have a meet & greet and go over any info required at the time. Upon arrival we will take you to the local grocery to stock up for any food or supplies you may like in your room. Breakfast choice is yours and at a designated time all will be shuttled out to "Base Camp". This spot offers immediate good riding with maps and trail markings and will allow us all to sort out riding ability and the terrain. The key to having a great week is to ride well within your ability and not at a race pace. This is not the place you want to break your bike or you!
