It's a good way of doing it. The only part about it not great, is that if you want to use that bike stored in SoCal, in NorCal, it's about the same 12 hours ofI think I have the best solution.
Leave bike in Cali for the winter and fly down and ride.
It's cheaper to fly down than drive.
I spent last week in the southern California hills and Arizona,Ok it was a bit chilly in the Arizona mountains but I think it was just a bit cool that week.
Meant to get up to Death Valley but it was a bit cool but awesome riding around San Diego.![]()
Any dates in mind? I booked off late September 2016 in the hopes of some wwd 16.We will most likely do an early season WWD in 2016.
Middle of summer is disgusting in NorCal, way too hot. Sept can even be over the top hot some years.Interesting that sept is even better than june for numbers...at least from the random spot I picked.
Either way, I'm hungry to ride cali at some point next season!
one of the issues with rtits is the ride out after. i think last time there was some talk of simply doubling back to the 70 after. the good part is la porte road to little grass valley road.Could someone post a google map of the fabled RTIS .
There's like 3 ways to get from Oroville to Quincy and they all look pretty fun on a map.
so just store two bike then, one in LA and one in Redding.It's a good way of doing it. The only part about it not great, is that if you want to use that bike stored in SoCal, in NorCal, it's about the same 12 hours of
transportation time to get there as it is from your house here.
Los Angeles is a long way from riding in Norcal in the spring/summer/fall if you wanted to... that is the downside.
I can understand the temptation to reverse, but the run down thru Forbestown and over to Oroville is pretty nice.one of the issues with rtits is the ride out after. i think last time there was some talk of simply doubling back to the 70 after. the good part is la porte road to little grass valley road.
the section to forbestown is good but the last bit to oroville is pretty crappy having ridden it a few times now,I can understand the temptation to reverse, but the run down thru Forbestown and over to Oroville is pretty nice.
Forbestown Rd
yes - totally forgot about that. the road wasn't as fun as it could have been due to the weather. i remember the road crew that was working and had us stopped for a bit near the top thought we were a bit nuts. we were worried we were going to get stuck in the blizzard that was moving in.or you could reverse, then come back from Quincy via Bucks Lake. we rode that on WWD 2011 (Rubherdown, Syncro, and I), with a detour at Bald Mtn. nice road, altho it was frikkin cold and actually blowing snow up top (Oct 5)
good times...
That's what we did last time, much preferredone of the issues with rtits is the ride out after. i think last time there was some talk of simply doubling back to the 70 after.
i've ridden California in late August / September.. coming back was a shit-show though as there was heavy rain in Oregon..Interesting that sept is even better than june for numbers...at least from the random spot I picked.
Opted out this year myself. Few others down there last week, just wasn't feeling it in 2016.So any late season plan in the works?
