Saturday 8/01 – Sierraville

[Dennis Larry]

Planning a ride that will take us up to Babbitt Peak and possibly get a tour of the lookout tower! I will post a map in the near future. Basically a C level ride up Dog Valley Rd to Smithneck Rd, up Babbitt Rd and back down to Smithneck, slab CA49 to Los Dos Hermanos in Sierraville for a lunch break. After lunch we will take Hobart Mills Rd to Yuba Pass down to Jackson Meadows then Henness Pass back to Verdi.
More details to follow.

Ok DustDevil’s,
In an effort to try and beat the impending heatwave I would like to depart Verdi Chevron at 8:00 on Saturday morning. This would put us at Los Dos Hermanos in Sierraville around 11- 11:30 and back into Verdi around 2:30.
No GPX available for this ride but I will provide a map and roads/trails names. As mentioned in previous emails this is a C/B- level ride and only at a B- level due to the total mileage at just over 100 miles. I think many of you that have ridden with me know that this will be a slow to medium pace with approximately 4 stops along the way.
At the end of this ride I would like to offer a free frosty at Chop 40 Grill to anyone who is interested. Chop 40 Grill is only a small diversion on our way back to Verdi Chevron.
Here is the route:
1) Verdi Chevron
2) Dog Valley Rd
3) Smithneck Rd
4) Babbitt Rd.
5) Bear Valley Rd.
6) Lemon Canyon Rd
7) Nichols Mill
8) Yuba Pass
9) Jackson Meadows
10) Henness Pass back to Verdi Chevron

Greg, don’t you have passenger pegs?

Nah…I ditched those things for a 2 lb. weight savings to help get my DR650 to its current 350 lb wet weight (after all mods) down from its OEM 366 lb wet weight.

Greg’s bike looks like this now, but with a 650cc motor.

I’m down to race Greg. It’s going to hurt your feelings when you realize I beat you while giving up 14lbs on the bike (I ditched the passenger pegs too) and ~100lbs on the rider….

DR650

[Greg R]

Nah…I’ll just be laughing my ass off either way. The rider (that would be me) is 172 lbs (buck naked), for the record.

Remember clutches out at 8 tomorrow fellas. I rode the Pan Am today to d-ville and returned to Verdi at 1:30 and it was 87 . Also offering ice cream for those who don’t partake in frostys at chop 40.
