I had wanted to check this ride out last year, but I was back to riding much at that time. Since I had just gotten cleared by the Doctors to get back on the bike only a week before.
So I made it a point to go this year. I took the Husky and the Tiger with me, since I knew I wouldn’t be riding alone and that meant help picking the Tiger up if I was to fall over with it. I took off and headed over to the Triangle T on Thursday, I had a spot for the Toy hauler reserved. I got there early to unload and set up. I met a few of the others as they rolled it. Of course, they are easy to spot, they all have bikes. 😀 Met a guy who rode in from Washington, who was really from Canada, long way to go, he was pretty entertaining. As were a couple from TX. It was a small rally so it didn’t take long for every one to show up that night.
The “disorganizer” Raven was a hoot. She was very hands off and the rides where really just suggestions on a map on the wall of the saloon. I found a couple of guys to ride to Tombstone with the next day. It’s funny how most guys just assume that you can’t really ride. It was also funny who I wasn’t the one who drop my bike that day. 😀
The next day was just wondering around trying to find a route, it was the most fun day of the three, but least productive for finding a route. Each night was a campfire, with entering characters, and stories about the rides for the days. I would go back again next year. Only this time I would make sure to have a GPS that could do GPX tracks so I did not do so much back tracking. There is a lot of great stuff to see, there and it made me really want to do the AZBDR even more.
