Opportunity for riding in Laughlin, NV.

Within the next couple weeks, I'm doing a Laughlin trip. Actually, the date is set in stone, but I don't go out of my way to alert the internet of when I'm leaving on longer trips, so message me if you think you may be interested...

Anywho, we're gonna be riding the same loops that they've use for the BITD Hare Scrambles races (if that helps), so its alot of sand washes, awesome single track, and even some hillclimbs. I won't have any more room in my truck and trailer, so you'd be on your own as far as getting yourself and bike down there. The city of Laughlin has plenty of cheap casino rooms this time of year, but my group is planning on camping, so the choice is yours. BTW, we'll have a 12 year-old on a 250f that is a pretty experienced rider, but I can think of a few places we'll need to take it easy or help him out. If you've got a kid that is in a similar boat, then don't hesitate bringing them along. I can see us covering about 50 miles/day is all. Laughlin weather in January is 50-60* highs and 20-30* lows.

BTW, I'll have power, air, and tools if needed.

Good times in Laughlin... It was sunny and 65* everyday. Here are a couple pics I grabbed off my GoPro.

Paul? I know you've got that race coming up, but you and your boy should try and come down for a day or two.

I wish we could have made it down. I am thinking of a trip to St. George or Mesquite between now and the Rhino Rally on 2/23. Are you up for coming down?

BTW, you missed a fun race in Mesquite. The rain made for a greasy motocross track but the desert portion of the course was ideal with no dust and moisture in the sand.

yeah, I saw some footage of Mesquite. People were all over that track.

Let me know as soon as you've got those dates for St. George. I wanna try and make it. You planning on camping or getting a place in town?

That looks amazing! Are you headed down again soon Von?

I didn't have any plans to, but my arm could be twisted. For the next couple weeks, BITD will be marking course for their hare scramble the weekend of Feb. 23rd, then they clean course after that.

Steering clear of the area until March would probably be a good idea, so if you wanna entertain the idea of a March trip I'd be interested. Laughlin in March probably starts getting toasty, but I'd guess its not bad.

Lemme know...

I am looking at the weekend of the 16th. My mom has a condo there, so we could just stay there. Right now I am leaning more towards Mesquite since they will be setting course in Warner Valley for the Rhino Rally that weekend.

As long as not too many people in my dept. have that time off, I'm good to go. I will let ya know man...
