Bass Lake

Who's going to Bass Lake? It looks like I will be there for the ride with Bobzilla and Brendan. I will be there July 14,15,16, and leaving Sunday morning. Making it a small vacation. It will be great to see you guys again.

Coming in on the 15th and staying at the Comfort Inn. Lets do dinner Friday night.

Dinner sounds like lots of storys. I'll call Brendan I think I still have his number.

Where is bass lake?

Sierra National Forest in CA. Oakhurst would be the closest decent size town.

So how many are going? I will be leaving Wed after work going to take the better half to Yosemite on Thu, Will be looking for Bobzilla & Brendan on I think Fri.

Another fellow I know plans on riding with us on at least on one of the days. I do not know if my did is riding or not.

Brenden Pm me with your phone number. I am leaving Friday am and should be there around 3. Dinner with coronaberg. Do you need a roll chart holder? C ya in a couple of days.

Yes you will need a roll chart holder. And an Odometer.

I'm set up with gps even. I was going to bring one for Brenden.

All I have to say is DO NOT get hurt up there.... I worked as a paramedic part time up there for about 4 months to earn a bit of tuition money.... until I decided that working there would hurt my ability to get hired elsewhere... I decided to just suck it up and work the overtime at night in the busy Fresno system...

lets just say it would be best if you picked up your broken body and rode on.....

of course that was a number of years ago... but the poeple who were there were there because they could not get jobs elsewhere....

good luck to you all...

The site was well represented again with Coronaberg, Brenden, Svendog, and myself. I had a good time ridding with the guys again and some new ones as well. We had a group of 6 and the size was just right and we were all about the same speed so no problems there. I think we need to get some stickers from the site to identify us. Brenden said it was like having our own gang. ( note to self: look into having stickers made) I must say the Bergs in attendance ran flawlessly. The only problem with them was that of a poor wrench. Now you all know how good looking Coronaberg's bikes looks, you know like he don't ride them, well the poor guy forgot to tighten his rear axel nut and lost it on the trail. No worries just some bailing wire and a few zipties and he was good for the last 100 miles!
The roll chart was by far the WORST thing I have ever tried to use and if it was not for the GPS I would have been lost for good and even with the GPS I have to admit I got us lost several times while leading but we also got lost with Corona leading .
Only two get off's that I know of. Nobody saw mine just the dust that was left behind by a 20 mph low side in the fluff dust. The same cant be said of Jeff. He was a little too close to me on a steep downhill that was very dusty with a dogleg with a hole. Well he didn't see the hole and took a trip over the bars and his buddy Svendog was following too close also and ran into him. A few minutes to straighten the front wheel and dust him off and we were on the trail again.
Great scenery and fun trails and I have the GPS track so I think this is a ride that I would like to do again when there is more moisture and less people. I'll have to talk Brenden into it since it is only an hour from his house.
All in all a good weekend with some friends from Moab and some new ones that were good to meet. I hope to ride with Brenden's buddy Kyle when he comes to Fallon this fall.
Coronaberg, Svendog, and Brenden, it was hot as h#ll but I had a great time.
Im off to Portland for a week talk to you guys later.
Thanks
Bob

The Bass Lake event was a great ride. This was my first event of this type. It was much better than I thought it was going to be. The scenery was magnificent. I plan on riding the routes again, sometime soon. The second day was awesome as well. You guys really missed out. I am glad I did not skip out on the second day. It was also great seeing seeing Bobzilla (if you can believe that! :twisted, and Coronaberg again. It was nice meeting some new people also. I highly recommend this dual sport event.

Speaking of stickers, I plan on having some husaberg.org fender stickers made when the time comes.
