Motorcycle Camping Trip (Overnight)

[Mark S.]

I heard yesterday that there might be interest in an overnight camping trip on motorcycles. I have an easy route up into Lassen that would be a 2-day ride with one night of camping off the bikes. We would leave Reno on Saturday Morning, ride about 160 miles, and camp. We would take a different route home. Looking at the weekend of July 16th and 17th. The route would be a combo of gravel roads and two-lane rural roads. Food and Gas would spread out over the ride and never be more than 100 miles in range. Reply to this thread to let me know if you would be interested and if that weekend works.

I’m definitely interested Mark and will know in the next week if I can make those dates work.

I am interested, although I might have a conflict on the 16-17 weekend. I’ll post back after I check.

Might be doable for me, if I can arrange my camping gear!

Hey Mark, could we move this ride to the 9th-10th weekend or the 23rd-24th weekend? I have a conflict on the 17th.

Kurt. Unfortunately I am booked those other weekends. We can discus at the meeting about moving this later or canceling it.

We have confirmed the date of the ride. We will be going on July 16th and 17th. We will spend Saturday night at a campground in Lasen.

Crater lake has Water at the site. 17 camp sites@ $10 a night. Reviews say it fill up early on weekends during the summer. best to have a alternate site to camp just in case.

This area has lots of camping not in official camp grounds. not far from Crater Lake area.

I’m interested. Tentative right now. I may be in Arizona then.

I’m in and have two other experienced riders who may be interested in joining us.

Bret, Excellent. This ride will be perfect for a larger group as we are not covering all that many miles in a day so I think the more the better.

For planning purposes – are any other members going to make it on this ride? If so please post up.

Hey Mark,

The 17th is my brother’s birthday, so I probably will be headed to the SF Bay Area that weekend. If the Bay Area fiesta is moved to another weekend I will definitely be on your ride. I’ll post up when I find out for sure.

Mark, Paul and I are planning on attending your overnight camping ride.
